Ampler divisor

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In mathematics, the ample divisor is a term from algebraic geometry . Algebraic geometry links the equations of abstract algebra with geometry . Divisors describe the zeros of algebraic curves , and somewhat simplified they are traffic lights if their basic functions have no common zeros.

The amplified divisors show whether the algebraic curves described by polynomials can be mapped onto a projective space .

definition

Is a divisor on a algebraic curve and the vector space that of rational functions on whose principal divisor the inequality satisfied.

is called very traffic light when there is a base of so that the functions have no common zero on and the mapping

is an embedding in the projective space .

is called traffic light if there is a natural number so that is very traffic light.

Examples

  • Let be the projective line and . A rational function with must therefore only have one pole and there at most of degree 2. This is of the form for a homogeneous polynomial of degree 2. A basis of the vector space of these functions is, for example . The mapping defined with this base is the embedding of the projective straight line as a closed parabola in . So it's very traffic light.
  • An elliptic curve in intersects a projective straight line at three points . Then it is very traffic light.
  • The canonical divisor of an algebraic curve by gender is very traffic light if the curve is not hyperelliptical .
