Complex analytic variety

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Complex analytic space)

In mathematics, particularly differential geometry and complex geometry, a complex analytic variety[note 1] or complex analytic space is a generalization of a complex manifold that allows the presence of singularities. Complex analytic varieties are locally ringed spaces that are locally isomorphic to local model spaces, where a local model space is an open subset of the vanishing locus of a finite set of holomorphic functions.

Definition

[edit]

Denote the constant sheaf on a topological space with value {\displaystyle \mathbb {C} } by {\displaystyle {\underline {\mathbb {C} }}}. A {\displaystyle \mathbb {C} }-space is a locally ringed space {\displaystyle (X,{\mathcal {O}}_{X})}, whose structure sheaf is an algebra over {\displaystyle {\underline {\mathbb {C} }}}.

Choose an open subset {\displaystyle U} of some complex affine space {\displaystyle \mathbb {C} ^{n}}, and fix finitely many holomorphic functions {\displaystyle f_{1},\dots ,f_{k}} in {\displaystyle U}. Let {\displaystyle X=V(f_{1},\dots ,f_{k})} be the common vanishing locus of these holomorphic functions, that is, {\displaystyle X=\{x\mid f_{1}(x)=\cdots =f_{k}(x)=0\}}. Define a sheaf of rings on {\displaystyle X} by letting {\displaystyle {\mathcal {O}}_{X}} be the restriction to {\displaystyle X} of {\displaystyle {\mathcal {O}}_{U}/(f_{1},\ldots ,f_{k})}, where {\displaystyle {\mathcal {O}}_{U}} is the sheaf of holomorphic functions on {\displaystyle U}. Then the locally ringed {\displaystyle \mathbb {C} }-space {\displaystyle (X,{\mathcal {O}}_{X})} is a local model space.

A complex analytic variety is a locally ringed {\displaystyle \mathbb {C} }-space {\displaystyle (X,{\mathcal {O}}_{X})} that is locally isomorphic to a local model space.

Morphisms of complex analytic varieties are defined to be morphisms of the underlying locally ringed spaces, they are also called holomorphic maps. A structure sheaf may have nilpotent element,[1] and also, when the complex analytic space whose structure sheaf is reduced, then the complex analytic space is reduced, that is, the complex analytic space may not be reduced.

An associated complex analytic space (variety) {\displaystyle X_{h}} is such that;[1]

Let X be scheme of finite type over {\displaystyle \mathbb {C} }, and cover X with open affine subsets {\displaystyle Y_{i}=\operatorname {Spec} A_{i}} ({\displaystyle X=\cup Y_{i}}) (Spectrum of a ring). Then each {\displaystyle A_{i}} is an algebra of finite type over {\displaystyle \mathbb {C} }, and {\displaystyle A_{i}\simeq \mathbb {C} [z_{1},\dots ,z_{n}]/(f_{1},\dots ,f_{m})}. Where {\displaystyle f_{1},\dots ,f_{m}} are polynomial in {\displaystyle z_{1},\dots ,z_{n}}, which can be regarded as a holomorphic functions on {\displaystyle \mathbb {C} }. Therefore, their set of common zeros is the complex analytic subspace {\displaystyle (Y_{i})_{h}\subseteq \mathbb {C} }. Here, the scheme X obtained by glueing the data of the sets {\displaystyle Y_{i}}, and then the same data can be used for glueing the complex analytic spaces {\displaystyle (Y_{i})_{h}} into a complex analytic space {\displaystyle X_{h}}, so we call {\displaystyle X_{h}} an associated complex analytic space with X. The complex analytic space X is reduced if and only if the associated complex analytic space {\displaystyle X_{h}} is reduced.[2]
