Riemann–Roch for line bundles on ℙ¹: h⁰(O(d)) − h¹(O(d)) = d + 1.
Classical Serre form of Riemann–Roch on ℙ¹:
h⁰(O(d)) − h⁰(O(K - d)) = d + 1, with K_{ℙ¹} of degree -2.
Arithmetic genus equals geometric genus on ℙ¹: both vanish.
The degree of the canonical divisor on ℙ¹ equals 2g − 2 = -2.
Riemann's inequality on ℙ¹: h⁰(O(d)) ≥ d + 1 − g_{ℙ¹} = d + 1.
Čech-level Serre duality on ℙ¹: dim H¹(O(n)) = dim H⁰(O(-2 - n)).
