# Cohomology of Certain Line Bundles $Z_w$ (Monday, October 04) :::{.remark} Some references: - Fulton, *Intersection Theory*. Similar difficulty to Hartshorne if you're going through it yourself! - See Young Tableaux books. - Eisenbud-Harris, *3264 and All That*. A more Vakil-style approach. ::: :::{.definition title="Chow Group"} The **Chow group** of $X\in\Var\slice k$ is the quotient $A_*(X) \da Z(X)/ \Rat(X)$, where $Z(X) = \ZZ[\Sub(X)]$, the free \(\ZZ\dash\)module on subvarieties of $X$. The group $Z(X)$ are **algebraic cycle**, and we mod out by rational equivalence. ::: :::{.example} If $G\actson X$, then $Y\sim gY\in A_*(X)$, and something similar happens for many algebraic group actions. Another example is that in $\PP^1$, $x \sim x'$ for all points $x,x'$ since $\PSL_2\actson \PP^1$. ::: :::{.remark} Note that there is also an equivariant Chow group/ring. In general, $A_*(X)$ is difficult/impossible to compute (according to Harris) unless there is an affine stratification. In these cases, it coincides with Borel-Moore homology. ::: :::{.theorem title="?"} If $X$ is smooth, then $A^*(X)$ forms a ring, where the grading is given by codimension of subvarieties. Thus there is a multiplication $[A] \cdot [B] = [A \intersect B]$ when $A\transverse B$ generically. Here transversality refers to an open condition on tangent spaces. ::: :::{.remark} We have three ways of thinking about line bundles: - Local trivializations - Algebraic morphisms with 1-dimensional fibers - Invertible sheaves Now we'll add a fourth in terms of divisors. Define: - $A_{n-1}(X)\in \Grp$, **Weil divisors** - $\Pic(X) \in \Grp$, the group of isomorphism classes of algebraic line bundles on $X$ where $[L_1] \cdot [L_2] \da [L_1 \oplus L_2]$. ::: :::{.proposition title="?"} Taking the Chern class yields a group morphism $c_1: \Pic(X) \to A_{n-1}(X)$. If the line bundle is generated by global sections, take the zero section of the global section. If $X$ is smooth, $c_1$ is an isomorphism, and we write $c_1(\OO_X(Y)) \da [Y]\in A_{n-1}(X)$. Note that this is slightly different to the ideal sheaf definition in Vakil. ::: :::{.remark} See relation to Schubert varieties and Grassmannians in the referenced books. Bott-Samelson-Demazure and flag varieties will be smooth, although we'll have to be careful for Schubert varieties. ::: :::{.proposition title="8.1.2"} Define the length of a word $w\in W$ to be the number of simple reflections, regardless of whether or not $w$ is reduced. Let $n\da \ell(w)$, then there is a formula for the canonical bundle $K_{Z_w}$ of any Bott-Samelson-Demazure variety $Z_w$ (even Kac-Moody types): \[ \mcl_w(-\rho) \tensor \OO_{Z_w}( - \sum_{q=1}^n Z_{w(q)} ) .\] ::: :::{.remark} Here $\rho\in \lieh\dual_\ZZ$ (e.g. characters of the torus in the semisimple simply connected case) is any element satisfying $\rho( \alpha_i\dual ) = 1$ for all $1\leq i \leq \ell$. Recall that \[ Z_w = P_{i_1}\mix{B} \cdots \mix{B} P_{i_n} / B = \ts{ \tv{p_1, \cdots, p_n B/B }} ,\] and $Z_w(q)$ means deleting the $q$th factor, so $Z_w(q) = \ts{\tv{p_1,\cdots, 1,\cdots, p_nB/B}}$ has the $q$th coordinate set to 1. Note that there is a quotient map $Z_w \to Z_{w(n)}$, which has a section, and we can use this to induct. ::: :::{.proof title="?"} Consider $G$ connected and reductive and let $X=G/B$ be the flag variety, which is smooth. Then for $\lambda \in X(T)$ corresponds to the algebraic line bundle $\mcl^{\emptyset}( \lambda) = G\mix{B} \CC_{ - \lambda}$. This yields a function $X(T) \to \Pic(X) \mapsvia{c_1} A_{n-1}(X)$ given by forgetting the $G\dash$action. This is a group morphism, where adding characters maps to tensoring bundles. Note that for $T = \CC\units$, we have \[ X(T) = \Hom_{\Alg\Grp}(\CC\units, \CC\units)= \ts{z \mapsto z^k \st k\in \ZZ} \iso_{\Ab\Grp} \ZZ ,\] where negatives are permitted since $0\not\in \CC\units$. More generally, $X(T) \iso_{\Ab\Grp} \ZZ^n$ for $n=\rank T$, where $\tv{\elts{t}{n}} \mapsvia{\lambda} \lambda_1^{k_1}\cdots \lambda_n^{k_n}$. Since we have an affine stratification by Schubert cells, we can write $A_*(X) = \bigoplus_{w\in W} [X_w]$, and in fact $A_k(X) = \bigoplus _{\ell(w) = k} [X_w]$. Considering the lattice for $W$, there are $\ell$ dimension 1 Schubert cells, and identifying them as CW cells and applying Poincare duality, there are $\ell$ codimension 1 cells: \begin{tikzcd} && w \\ \\ {w_0 s_1} && {w_0 s_j} && {w_0 s_n} \\ \vdots && \vdots && \vdots \\ \vdots && \vdots && \vdots \\ {s_1} & \cdots & {s_j} & \cdots & {s_n} \\ \\ && e \arrow[from=3-1, to=1-3] \arrow[from=3-3, to=1-3] \arrow[from=3-5, to=1-3] \arrow[from=8-3, to=6-1] \arrow[from=8-3, to=6-3] \arrow[from=8-3, to=6-5] \end{tikzcd} > [Link to Diagram](https://q.uiver.app/?q=WzAsMTYsWzIsNywiZSJdLFswLDUsInNfMSJdLFsyLDUsInNfaiJdLFs0LDUsInNfbiJdLFsxLDUsIlxcY2RvdHMiXSxbMyw1LCJcXGNkb3RzIl0sWzAsMiwid18wIHNfMSJdLFsyLDIsIndfMCBzX2oiXSxbNCwyLCJ3XzAgc19uIl0sWzIsMCwidyJdLFsyLDMsIlxcdmRvdHMiXSxbMiw0LCJcXHZkb3RzIl0sWzAsNCwiXFx2ZG90cyJdLFswLDMsIlxcdmRvdHMiXSxbNCwzLCJcXHZkb3RzIl0sWzQsNCwiXFx2ZG90cyJdLFs2LDldLFs3LDldLFs4LDldLFswLDFdLFswLDJdLFswLDNdXQ==) It turns out that the map is given as follows: \[ \ZZ^n \cong X(T) &\too A_{n-1}(X) \cong \ZZ^\ell \\ \lambda&\mapsto \sum_{i=1}^\ell \inner{\lambda}{ \alpha_i\dual}[X_{w_0 s_i}] && n\geq \ell .\] ::: :::{.example title="?"} For $G = \SL_2, \mcl( \lambda_k) = \OO_{\PP^1}(k)$ and $X(T) \cong \ZZ$. Recall that $\globsec{\PP^1, \OO_{\PP^1}(k)} = \CC[x, y]_k$ are homogeneous polynomials of degree $k$ when $k\geq 0$, otherwise there are no global sections. For example, $\CC[x, y]_2 = \gens{x^2, xy, y^2}$ is dimension $3 = 2 + 1$. All points are rationally equivalent, so we can take the basepoint $B/B$, and so the map will need to track the multiplicity of points. The composition is given by the following: \begin{tikzcd} {X(T)} && {\Pic(X)} && {A_{n-1}(X)} \\ \\ {\mcl(\lambda_k)} && {\OO_{\PP^1}(k)} && {k[B/B]} \arrow[from=1-1, to=1-3] \arrow[from=1-3, to=1-5] \arrow[maps to, from=3-1, to=3-3] \arrow[maps to, from=3-3, to=3-5] \end{tikzcd} > [Link to Diagram](https://q.uiver.app/?q=WzAsNixbMCwwLCJYKFQpIl0sWzIsMCwiXFxQaWMoWCkiXSxbNCwwLCJBX3tuLTF9KFgpIl0sWzIsMiwiXFxPT197XFxQUF4xfShrKSJdLFs0LDIsImtbQi9CXSJdLFswLDIsIlxcbWNsKFxcbGFtYmRhX2spIl0sWzAsMV0sWzEsMl0sWzUsMywiIiwwLHsic3R5bGUiOnsidGFpbCI6eyJuYW1lIjoibWFwcyB0byJ9fX1dLFszLDQsIiIsMCx7InN0eWxlIjp7InRhaWwiOnsibmFtZSI6Im1hcHMgdG8ifX19XV0=) The cotangent bundle of $X$ is given by $G\mix{P} u = T\dual G/P$ where $P = LU$. The canonical bundle is the top wedge power, and here we get $G\mix{B} \lien = G\mix{B} \CC_2 = \mcl(-2)$, noting that the canonical is equal to the cotangent bundle here, and we've identified which equivariant bundle this is. :::
