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.

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.

$$X_a=Xtimes_Y k(a)=mbox{Spec}left(k[x,y,t]/(ty-x^2)right)times_{k[t]}mbox{Spec}left(k[t]_{(t-a)}/(t-a)k[t]_{(t-a)}right)$$
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

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 $a_iin k$} \

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 $(ay-x^2)subsetkerpsi$.

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.
