Section 2.8 - Differentials
نویسنده
چکیده
In this section we will define the sheaf of relative differential forms of one scheme over another. In the case of a nonsingular variety over C, which is like a complex manifold, the sheaf of differential forms is essentially the same as the dual of the tangent bundle in differential geometry. However, in abstract algebraic geometry, we will define the sheaf of differentials first, by a purely algebraic method, and then define the tangent bundle as its dual. Hence we will begin this section with a review of the module of differentials of one ring over another. As applications of the sheaf of differentials, we will give a characterisation of nonsingular varieties among schemes of finite type over a field. We will also use the sheaf of differentials on a nonsingular variety to define its tangent sheaf, its canonical sheaf, and its geometric genus. This latter is an important numerical invariant of a variety.

K–theory for Triangulated Categories Iii(a): the Theorem of the Heart
T are henceforth to be viewed as identical. The reason for this is that, after Section II.2, we have nothing more to say about the construction without differentials. In Section II.2, we proved some significant facts about the simplicial set without the differentials. The reader is referred to the introduction of K–theory for triangulated categories II for more detail. Anyway, from Section II.3...

متن کاملJets via Hasse-schmidt Derivations
This preprint is intended to provide a general reference for jet spaces and jet differentials, valid in maximal generality (at the level of EGA). The approach is rather concrete, using Hasse-Schmidt (divided) higher differentials. Discussion of projectivized jet spaces (as in Green and Griffiths [G-G]) is included. This paper contains a few brief notes on how to define jets using Hasse-Schmidt ...

The Determination of Yield Differentials Between Debt Instruments of the Same Maturity
Dsm INSTRUMENTS of comparable risk level and maturity and with similar provisions do not necessarily have the same market yield. Moreover, the yield differentials between different instruments of comparable risk level and maturity vary considerably over time. In June, 1964, for example, the yield differential between AA-rated utility bonds and government bonds of the same maturity was 30 basis ...
