Morphisms of affine schemes

Constructors

General constructors

morphismMethod
morphism(X::AbsAffineScheme, Y::AbsAffineScheme, f::Vector{<:RingElem}; check::Bool=true)

This method constructs a morphism from the scheme $X$ to the scheme $Y$. For this one has to specify the images of the coordinates (the generators of ambient_coordinate_ring(Y)) under the pullback map $𝒪(Y) → 𝒪(X)$ as third argument.

Note that expensive checks can be turned off by setting check=false.

Examples

julia> X = affine_space(QQ,3)
Affine space of dimension 3
  over rational field
with coordinates [x1, x2, x3]

julia> Y = affine_space(QQ,3)
Affine space of dimension 3
  over rational field
with coordinates [x1, x2, x3]

julia> morphism(X, Y, gens(OO(X)))
Affine scheme morphism
  from [x1, x2, x3]  affine 3-space over QQ
  to   [x1, x2, x3]  affine 3-space over QQ
given by the pullback function
  x1 -> x1

fiber_product(f::AbsAffineSchemeMor, g::AbsAffineSchemeMor)

For morphisms $f : X → Z$ and $g : Y → Z$ return the fiber product $X×Y$ over $Z$ together with its two canonical projections.

Whenever you have another set of maps a: W → X and b : W → Y forming a commutative square with f and g, you can use induced_map_to_fiber_product to create the resulting map W → X×Y.

source
productMethod
product(X::AbsAffineScheme, Y::AbsAffineScheme)

Return a triple $(X×Y, p₁, p₂)$ consisting of the product $X×Y$ over the common base ring $𝕜$ and the two projections $p₁ : X×Y → X$ and $p₂ : X×Y → Y$.

source
simplifyMethod
simplify(X::AbsAffineScheme{<:Field})

Given an affine scheme $X$ with coordinate ring $R = 𝕜[x₁,…,xₙ]/I$ (or a localization thereof), use Singular's elimpart to try to eliminate variables $xᵢ$ to arrive at a simpler presentation $R ≅ R' = 𝕜[y₁,…,yₘ]/J$ for some ideal $J$; return a SimplifiedAffineScheme $Y$ with $X$ as its original.

***Note:*** The ambient_coordinate_ring of the output Y will be different from the one of X and hence the two schemes will not compare using ==.
