Atlas.AlgebraicGeometryI.code.SingularLocus

The singular locus of a morphism f : X → Spec K is the complement of the smooth locus, i.e., the set of points where f fails to be smooth.

Instances For

    The singular locus is closed: smoothness is an open condition.

    Singular locus is not everything for a reduced scheme over a perfect field: a non-empty reduced scheme of finite presentation has a non-empty smooth locus, so its singular locus is a proper subset. This is generic smoothness in the perfect-field case.

    def singularLocusAlg (K : Type u_2) [Field K] (A : Type u_3) [CommRing A] [Algebra K A] :

    Algebraic version of singularLocus: for a K-algebra A, the singular locus is the complement of the smooth locus inside Spec A.

    Instances For

      The algebraic singular locus is closed when A is finitely presented over K.
