# Wednesday, September 15 ## asdsadas :::{.remark} Last time: for $\Aff\Var$ we considered $X = V(I) \subseteq \AA^n\slice k$, and for $\Aff\Sch$ we considered $\spec k[X]$ where $k[X] \da\kxn / I(X)$. Both had the Zariski topology, and $X = \mspec k[X] \subseteq \spec k[X]$. We had structure sheaves $\OO_{\spec k[X]}$, and for $X$, we have $U' \da U \intersect \mspec k[X]$. On $\mspec k[X]$, we have the notion of a regular function, and $\OO_X(U') = \OO_{\spec k[X]}(U')$. The previous setup only worked for rings finitely generated over a field, whereas for schemes, we can take things like $\spec \ZZ$, so they're much more versatile (e.g. for number theory). ::: ## adssads :::{.example title="?"} Compare $\AA^2\slice k \in \Aff\Var$ to $\spec k[x, y]$. Note that $\gens 0 \in \spec k[x, y]$, and taking its closure yields \[ \cl(\gens{0}) &= \Intersect_{V(I)\contains \gens 0 } V(I) \\ &= \Intersect_{V(I)\ni 0 } V(I) \\ &= V(0) \\ &= \spec k[x, y] ,\] so $0$ is a dense point! \begin{tikzpicture} \fontsize{20pt}{1em} \node (node_one) at (0,0) { \import{/home/zack/SparkleShare/github.com/Notes/Class_Notes/2021/Fall/Schemes/sections/figures}{2021-09-15_18-17.pdf_tex} }; \end{tikzpicture} But there are prime ideals of height $>1$. For example, any irreducible subvariety of $\AA^2$ yields a generic point. \todo[inline]{Krull's dimension theorem?} ::: :::{.exercise title="?"} Try to draw $\spec \ZZ$ and $\spec \ZZ[t]$. ::: :::{.remark} We'll now try a naive definition of schemes, which we'll find won't quite work. ::: :::{.definition title="A wrong definition of a scheme!"} A **scheme** is a ringed space $(X, \OO_X)$ which is locally an affine scheme, i.e. there exists an open cover $\mcu \covers X$ such that there is a collection of rings $A_i$ with \[ (U_i, \ro{\OO_{X}}{U_i} ) \iso (\spec A_i, \OO_{\spec A_i}) .\] ::: :::{.remark} This produces the right objects, but not the correct morphisms. This is a subtle issue! With this definition, a morphism of schemes would be a morphism of ringed spaces $(f, f^\#)$ with $f\in \Top(X, Y)$ and $f^\# \in \Sh\slice Y(\OO_Y, f_* \OO_X)$, where $f^\#$ is supposed to capture "pullback of functions". The issue: $f^\#$ may not notice that $p \mapsvia{f} f(p)$! In particular, it may not preserve the fact that $f(p) = 0$. \begin{tikzpicture} \fontsize{42pt}{1em} \node (node_one) at (0,0) { \import{/home/zack/SparkleShare/github.com/Notes/Class_Notes/2021/Fall/Schemes/sections/figures}{2021-09-15_11-49.pdf_tex} }; \end{tikzpicture} Hartshorne exercises for how this issue can actually arise. ::: :::{.remark} Let $(f, f^\#)$ be a map of ringed spaces, then there is an induced map \[ f_p^\#: \OO_{Y, f(p)} &\to \OO_{X, p} \\ (U, s) &\mapsto (f\inv(U), f^\#(U)(s)) .\] ::: :::{.definition title="Locally ringed space"} A **locally ringed space** $(X, \OO_X)$ is a ringed space for which the stalks $\OO_{X, p} \in \Loc\Ring$ are local rings, i.e. there exists a unique maximal ideal. ::: :::{.example title="of a locally ringed space"} For $(X, \OO_X) \da(\spec A, \OO_{\spec A})$, we saw that $\OO_{X, p} = A\localize{p}$, which is local. ::: :::{.definition title="Morphisms of locally ringed spaces"} A **morphism of locally ringed spaces** is a morphism of ringed spaces \[ (f, F^\#): (X, \OO_X) \to (Y, \OO_Y) \] such that $f^\#_p: \OO_{Y, f(p)} \to \OO_{X, p}$ is a homomorphism of local rings, i.e. $f^\#(\mfm_{f(p)}) \subseteq \mfm_p$. > Here we should also require that $f^\# \neq 0$. ::: :::{.remark} Morally: this extra condition enforces that pulling back functions vanishing at $f(p)$ yields functions which vanish at $p$. ::: :::{.remark} Alternatively one could require that $(f^\#)\inv(\mfm_p) = \mfm_{f(p)}$, and (claim) this is equivalent to the above definition. Use that $(f^\#)\inv(\mfm_p)$ is a prime ideal containing $\mfm_p$. ::: :::{.example title="of a locally ringed space"} Take $(X, \OO_X) \da (\RR, C^0(\wait; \RR))$. Why this is in $\Loc\Ringedspace$: write a stalk as \[ C_p^0 = \ts{(f, I) \st I\ni p \text{ an interval}, f\in \Top(I, \RR)}\slice\sim .\] Why is this local? Take $\mfm_p \da \ts{(f, I) \st f(p) = 0}$, which is maximal since $C_p^0/\mfm \cong \RR$ is a field. Then $\mfm_p^c = \ts{(f, I) \st f(p) \neq 0}$, and any continuous function that isn't zero at $p$ is nonzero in some neighborhood $J \contains I$, so $\ro{f}{J}\neq 0$ anywhere. Then $(f, I) \sim (\ro{f}{J}, J)$, which is invertible in the ring, so any element in the complement is a unit. ::: :::{.example title="?"} Consider \[ (\RR, C^0(\wait; \RR)) \mapsvia{(f, f^\#)} (\RR, C^\infty(\wait; \RR)) .\] Take $f = \id$ and the inclusion \[ f^\# : C^\infty(\wait; \RR)\injects \id_* C^0(\wait; \RR) = C^0(\wait; \RR) .\] Then \[ f_p^\#: C_p^\infty(\wait; \RR) \to C_p^0(\wait; \RR) .\] satisfies $f_p^\#(\mfm^\infty_{\id(p)}) = \mfm^0_p$. We also have $(f_p^\#)\inv (\mfm_p^0) = \mfm_p^\infty$, since the germs are just equal. ::: :::{.definition title="Scheme"} A **scheme** $(X, \OO_X)$ is a locally ringed space which is locally isomorphic to $(\spec A, \OO_{\spec A})$ in $\Loc\Ringedspace$. A **morphism of schemes** is a morphism in $\Loc\Ringedspace$. ::: :::{.remark} Note that we can restrict to opens, since this doesn't change the stalks. ::: :::{.remark} As a proof of concept that this is a good notion, we'll see that there's a fully faithful contravariant functor $\spec: \CRing \to \Sch$, so \[ \spec(\Mor_\Ring(B, A)) = \Mor_\Sch( \spec A, \spec B) .\] :::
