Proving That $ text{Spec}Big( k[x,y,t]/(ty-x^{2}) otimes_{k[t]} k (a) Big) cong text{Spec}Big(...

$begingroup$


$ k $ is an algebraically closed field, and $ a in k. $



This question stems from Example 3.3.1 in Hartshorne's Algebraic Geometry. There is a surjective morphism $ f: text{Spec}Big(k[x,y,t]/(ty-x^{2}) Big) longrightarrow text{Spec}(k[t]), $ and the closed points of $ k[t] $ are identified with elements of $ k $ because $ text{Spec}(k[t]) = mathbb{A}^{1}_{k}. $ I am trying to understand why the fibre $ X_a $ is the plane curve $ ay = x^{2} $ in $ mathbb{A}^{2}_{k} $ and I think this is the same as establishing the isomorphism above.

    How is $k(a)$ a $k[t]$-module? I suspect it's via the map $k[t] to k(a)$, $t mapsto a$, which may answer your question. (Also note that since $k$ is algebraically closed, then $k(a) cong k$.)

Intuituvely, the fiber $X_a$ corresponds with the curve associated to the point $t-a=0$, replacing we obtaing the required fact. But, algebraically, you are right since, writing $X=mbox{Spec}left(k[x,y,t]/(ty-x^2)right)$, $Y=mbox{Spec}left(k[t]right)$,
$$X_a=Xtimes_Y k(a)=mbox{Spec}left(k[x,y,t]/(ty-x^2)right)times_{k[t]}mbox{Spec}left(k[t]_{(t-a)}/(t-a)k[t]_{(t-a)}right)$$
and that is the spectrum of tha tensor product over $k[t]$, if we have an isomorphism between the global sections of affine schemes, we have that the schemes are isomophic, so that is enough to prove the isomorphism of that rings.



Since $k$ is algebraically closed $k[t]_{(t-a)}/(t-a)simeq k$ (think via evaluating in $a$ for intuition). Now, for the correspondence of rings that you require, consider the homomorphism
$$psi:k[x,y]to k[x,y,t]/(yt-x^2)otimes_{k[t]}k[t]_{(t-a)}/(t-a)k[t]_{(t-a)}$$
sending $p(x,y)mapsto p(x,y)otimes_{k[t]} 1$. It is clear that it is an homomorphism of rings. It is an epimorphism since if $sum_i q_i(x,y,t)otimes_{k[t]} a_iin k[x,y,t]/(yt-x^2)otimes_{k[t]}k[t]_{(t-a)}/(t-a)k[t]_{(t-a)}$, then
begin{align}
sum_i q_i(x,y,t)otimes_{k[t]} a_i & = sum_i a_i q_i(x,y,t)otimes_{k[t]}1 \
text{with $a_iin k$} \
sum_i q_i(x,y,t)otimes_{k[t]} a_i & = sum_j f_j(t)g_j(x,y)otimes_{k[t]} 1 \
& = sum_j g_j(x,y)otimes_{k[t]} f_j(t) \
& = sum_j g_j(x,y)otimes_{k[t]} f_j(a) \
& = sum_j g_j(x,y)f_j(a)otimes_{k[t]}1,
end{align}
since $f_j(t)=f_j(a)$ in $k[t]_{(t-a)}/(t-a)k[t]_{(t-a)}$. Now, we have to prove that $kerpsi=(ay-x^2)$. In fact, using the same trick (passing a polynomial over $t$ to the right side of the tensor product and evaluating on $a$) we get easily that $(ay-x^2)subsetkerpsi$. Similar argument to the equality.

sending $p(x,y)mapsto p(x,y)otimes_{k[t]} 1$. It is clear that it is an homomorphism of rings. It is an epimorphism since if $sum_i q_i(x,y,t)otimes_{k[t]} a_iin k[x,y,t]/(yt-x^2)otimes_{k[t]}k[t]_{(t-a)}/(t-a)k[t]_{(t-a)}$, then

Intuituvely, the fiber $X_a$ corresponds with the curve associated to the point $t-a=0$, replacing we obtaing the required fact. But, algebraically, you are right since, writing $X=mbox{Spec}left(k[x,y,t]/(ty-x^2)right)$, $Y=mbox{Spec}left(k[t]right)$,
$$X_a=Xtimes_Y k(a)=mbox{Spec}left(k[x,y,t]/(ty-x^2)right)times_{k[t]}mbox{Spec}left(k[t]_{(t-a)}/(t-a)k[t]_{(t-a)}right)$$
and that is the spectrum of tha tensor product over $k[t]$, if we have an isomorphism between the global sections of affine schemes, we have that the schemes are isomophic, so that is enough to prove the isomorphism of that rings.



Since $k$ is algebraically closed $k[t]_{(t-a)}/(t-a)simeq k$ (think via evaluating in $a$ for intuition). Now, for the correspondence of rings that you require, consider the homomorphism
$$psi:k[x,y]to k[x,y,t]/(yt-x^2)otimes_{k[t]}k[t]_{(t-a)}/(t-a)k[t]_{(t-a)}$$
sending $p(x,y)mapsto p(x,y)otimes_{k[t]} 1$. It is clear that it is an homomorphism of rings. It is an epimorphism since if $sum_i q_i(x,y,t)otimes_{k[t]} a_iin k[x,y,t]/(yt-x^2)otimes_{k[t]}k[t]_{(t-a)}/(t-a)k[t]_{(t-a)}$, then
begin{align}
sum_i q_i(x,y,t)otimes_{k[t]} a_i & = sum_i a_i q_i(x,y,t)otimes_{k[t]}1 \
text{with $a_iin k$} \
sum_i q_i(x,y,t)otimes_{k[t]} a_i & = sum_j f_j(t)g_j(x,y)otimes_{k[t]} 1 \
& = sum_j g_j(x,y)otimes_{k[t]} f_j(t) \
& = sum_j g_j(x,y)otimes_{k[t]} f_j(a) \
& = sum_j g_j(x,y)f_j(a)otimes_{k[t]}1,
end{align}
since $f_j(t)=f_j(a)$ in $k[t]_{(t-a)}/(t-a)k[t]_{(t-a)}$. Now, we have to prove that $kerpsi=(ay-x^2)$. In fact, using the same trick (passing a polynomial over $t$ to the right side of the tensor product and evaluating on $a$) we get easily that $(ay-x^2)subsetkerpsi$. Similar argument to the equality.

    Thanks for this. I was originally attempting to show it by playing with universal properties (though I have trouble with them), but I guess sometimes it helps to think more explicitly as you have done. From what @reuns has said it is not too difficult to show that $ ker (psi) = (ay-x^2) $ by the first isomorphism theorem.

    Sometime one have to loss the fear to work this things when we are using universal properties and facy stuff in AG, because in some sense this give us intuition like "it's simply replacing those thing here" but writing drown can be cumbersome

    Yes, you are right. I have to develop the habit of writing these things down from "first principles" instead of struggling to find a fancy way.

Ellipse (mathématiques)

Image
Pour les articles homonymes, voir Ellipse. L'ellipse est le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante. Section du cône ou projection du cercle. En géométrie, une ellipse est une courbe plane fermée obtenue par l’intersection d’un cône de révolution avec un plan, à condition que celui-ci coupe l'axe de rotation du cône ou du cylindre : c'est une conique d'excentricité strictement comprise entre 0 et 1. On peut également la définir comme le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante (sa construction par la méthode du jardinier est très simple). Dans la vie courante, l’ellipse est la forme qu'on perçoit en regardant un cercle en perspective, ou la figure formée par l’ombre d'un disque sur une surface plane. On retrouve aussi, en première approximation [ 1 ] , des ellipses dans les trajectoires des corps célestes (planètes, comètes ou satellites arti...

Quarter-circle Tiles

up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form? I think this problem has to do with finding the chance any given 2x2 square has a circle, but I can't find it. expected-value share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 20 at 15:03 6minecraftninja 1 2 ...
