Deligne’s Notes on Nagata Compactifications
نویسنده
چکیده
We provide a proof of Nagata’s compactification theorem: any separated map of finite type between quasi-compact and quasi-separated schemes (e.g., noetherian schemes) factors as an open immersion followed by a proper morphism. This is a detailed exposition of private notes of Deligne that translate Nagata’s method into modern terms, and includes some applications of general interest in the theory of rational maps, such as refined versions of Chow’s Lemma and the elimination of indeterminacies in a rational map, as well as a blow-up characterization of when a proper morphism (to a rather general base scheme) is

Nagata’s Embedding Theorem
In 1962–63, M. Nagata showed that an abstract variety could be embedded into a complete variety. Later, P. Deligne translated Nagata’s proof into the language of schemes, but did not publish his notes. This paper, which is to appear as an appendix in a forthcoming book, gives an elaboration of Deligne’s notes. It also contains some complementary results on extending divisors and vector sheaves ...
متن کاملComplex Multiplication Symmetry of Black Hole Attractors
We show how Moore’s observation, in the context of toroidal compactifications in type IIB string theory, concerning the complex multiplication structure of black hole attractor varieties, can be generalized to Calabi-Yau compactifications with finite fundamental groups. This generalization leads to an alternative general framework in terms of motives associated to a Calabi-Yau variety in which ...

متن کاملNotes on Heterotic Compactifications
In this technical note we describe a pair of results on heterotic compactifications. First, we give an example demonstrating that the usual statement of the anomaly-freedom constraint for perturbative heterotic compactifications (meaning, matching second Chern characters) is incorrect for compactifications involving torsion-free sheaves. Secondly, we correct errors in the literature regarding t...
متن کاملLectures on Perturbative String Theories
These lecture notes on String Theory constitute an introductory course designed to acquaint the students with some basic facts of perturbative string theories. They are intended as preparation for the more advanced courses on non-perturbative aspects of string theories in the school. The course consists of five lectures: 1. Bosonic String, 2. Toroidal Compactifications, 3. Superstrings, 4. Hete...
