In these notes, which originated from various second courses in algebraic geometry given at purdue, i study complex algebraic varieties using a mixture of algebraic, analytic and topological methods. There are pure algorithmic approaches to these problems. This is a study of algebraic differential modules in several variables, and of some of their relations with analytic differential modules. Furthermore, we produce the explicit gaussmanin connection on the natural. A gentle introduction to homology, cohomology, and sheaf cohomology jean gallier and jocelyn quaintance department of computer and information science. C, using only its structure as an algebraic variety eg the ideal of polynomials vanishing on it, and not the topology of vc.
We then carry out the computations for the representation varieties for these two cases. Weightless cohomology of algebraic varieties request pdf. So singular cohomology is a weil cohomology for complex varieties with coe. X is a complex variety with a morphism of ringed spaces. Cohomology of coherent sheaves on complex algebraic varieties. The authors have taken pains to present the material rigorously and coherently. In mathematics, hodge theory, named after william vallance douglas hodge, is a method for studying the cohomology groups of a smooth manifold m using partial differential equations. There is a general algorithm for smooth projective varieties 23. The notion of derived functor gives us a sequence of functors rif. Dworks definition is algebraic and makes sense over any field of characteristic zero.
The key observation is that, given a riemannian metric on m, every cohomology class has a canonical representative, a differential form which vanishes under the laplacian operator of the metric. Mathematics stack exchange is a question and answer site for people studying math at any level and professionals in related fields. In mathematics, specifically in homology theory and algebraic topology, cohomology is a general term for a sequence of abelian groups associated to a topological space, often defined from a cochain complex. Access full article top access to full text full pdf how to cite top. A more abstract perspective on all of this is the notion of a weil cohomology theory with coe. Hypercohomology let c be an abelian category with enough injectives, d another abelian category, and f. F baldassarri the book offers a systematic treatment of the theory of differential modules on algebraic varieties over a field of characteristic 0. The book contains numerous examples and insights on various topics. For simplicity, we will discuss the moduli space mz.
X y determines a homomorphism from the cohomology ring of y to that of x. Hartshorne, r ample subvarieties of algebraic varieties. An algebraic variety is an object which can be defined in a purely algebraic way. Some versions of cohomology arise by dualizing the construction of homology. Abstract it is known that the algebraic derham cohomology group hi dr x 0q of a nonsin gular variety x 0q has the same rank as the rational singular cohomology group hi sing xan. The idea of computing the cohomology of a manifold, in particular its betti numbers, by means of differential forms goes back to e. K satisfying the properties of the previous theorem. Pierre deligne institute for advanced study, princeton monday 3 august 2009, 17. The idea of computing the cohomology of a manifold, in particular its betti numbers, by means of differential. The product x speckyis a smooth projective scheme over k. Cohomology can be viewed as a method of assigning richer algebraic invariants to a space than homology. However, here we wish to relay another, deeper, relation between the cohomology of algebraic varieties and the structures underlying the langlands corresondence, a relation that pertains not to the cohomology of speci c algebraic varieties, but to the very notion of what \the cohomology of an algebraic variety is. Singular cohomology is a powerful invariant in topology, associating a gradedcommutative ring to any topological space. Essentially by direct calculation of the cotangent complex, illusie showed ill72, corollary viii.
Using morels weight truncations in categories of mixed sheaves, we attach to varieties over finite fields or the complex numbers a series of groups called the weightless cohomology groups. This theory, which in hindsight belongs to derived algebraic geometry, is a re. As hironakas resolution theorems are equally valid on complex analytic spaces, at least locally, one can deduce theorem i from a stronger, purely local theorem on complex analytic spaces, as follows. This is closely related to other constructions in algebraic topology such as simplicial homology and cohomology, singular homology and cohomology, and cech cohomology 15. Throughout we illustrate the theory via the examples of polarized abelian varieties and polarized k3surfaces. Consider two projective nonsingular varieties xand y over k. In fact, the fundamental structural result of berthelot ber74, theorem v. In many situations, y is the spectrum of a field of characteristic zero.
I assumed an understanding of basic algebraic geometry around the. Then one has two di erent notions for the cohomology of y. Let x be an affine algebraic scheme over the field c of complex numbers. The first part is devoted to the exposition of the cohomology theory of algebraic varieties. The two general themes that dominate this work are the cohomology of algebraic varieties, and the local and global langlands correspondences. Thus knowing seemingly unrelated properties about existence of closed but not exact forms gives us. Its final purpose is to give a proof of a conjecture of.
