Covered schemes
Oscar supports modeling abstract schemes by means of a covering by affine charts.
Types
The abstract type for these is:
AbsCoveredScheme — TypeAbsCoveredScheme{BaseRingType}A scheme $X$ over some base_ring $𝕜$ of type BaseRingType, given by means of affine charts and their gluings.
The basic concrete instance of an AbsCoveredScheme is:
CoveredScheme — TypeCoveredScheme{BaseRingType}A covered scheme $X$ given by means of at least one Covering.
A scheme may possess several coverings which are partially ordered by refinement. Use default_covering(X) to obtain one covering of $X$.
Constructors
You can manually construct a CoveredScheme from a Covering using
CoveredScheme — MethodCoveredScheme(C::Covering)Return a CoveredScheme $X$ with C as its default_covering.
Examples
julia> P1, (x,y) = QQ[:x, :y];
julia> P2, (u,v) = QQ[:u, :v];
julia> U1 = spec(P1);
julia> U2 = spec(P2);
julia> C = Covering([U1, U2]) # A Covering with two disjoint affine charts

In most cases, however, you may wish for the computer to provide you with a ready-made Covering and use a more high-level constructor, such as, for instance,
covered_scheme — Methodcovered_scheme(P::AbsProjectiveScheme)Return a CoveredScheme $X$ isomorphic to P with standard affine charts given by dehomogenization.
Use dehomogenization_map with U one of the affine_charts of $X$ to obtain the dehomogenization map from the homogeneous_coordinate_ring of P to the coordinate_ring of U.

disjoint_union — Methoddisjoint_union(Xs::Vector{<:AbsCoveredScheme}) -> (AbsCoveredScheme, Vector{<:AbsCoveredSchemeMor})Return the disjoint union of the non-empty vector of covered schemes as a covered scheme.
Input:
- a vector
Xsof covered schemes.
Output:
A pair $(X, \mathrm{injections})$ where $X$ is a covered scheme and $\mathrm{injections}$ is a vector of inclusion morphisms $ı_i\colon X_i \to X$, where $X$ is the disjoint union of the covered schemes $X_i$ in Xs.

Properties
An AbsCoveredScheme may have different properties such as
is_empty(X::AbsCoveredScheme)
is_smooth(X::AbsCoveredScheme)Methods
fiber_product — Methodfiber_product(f::AbsCoveredSchemeMorphism, g::AbsCoveredSchemeMorphism)For a diagram XxY ––> Y | | g V V X–––> Z f this computes the fiber product XxY together with the canonical maps to X and Y and returns the resulting triple.
is_normal — Methodis_normal(X::AbsCoveredScheme; check::Bool=true) -> BoolReturn whether the given reduced scheme $X$ is normal. By default this verifies that X is reduced; this expensive test can be avoided by setting check to false.
Examples
julia> R, (x, y, z) = QQ[:x, :y, :z];
julia> X = covered_scheme(spec(R));
julia> is_normal(X)
truenormalization — Methodnormalization(X::AbsCoveredScheme; check::Bool=true) -> (AbsCoveredScheme, AbsCoveredSchemeMor, Vector{<:AbsCoveredSchemeMor})Return the normalization of the reduced scheme $X$.
Input:
- a reduced scheme $X$,
- if
checkistrue, then confirm that $X$ is reduced; this is expensive.
Output:
A triple $(Y, \nu\colon Y \to X, \mathrm{injs})$ where $Y$ is a normal scheme, $\nu$ is the normalization, and $\mathrm{injs}$ is a vector of inclusion morphisms $ı_i\colon Y_i \to Y$, where $Y_i$ are the connected components of the scheme $Y$. See Tag 0CDV in [Stacks] or Definition 7.5.1 in [Liu06] for normalization of non-integral schemes.

Hom: scheme over QQ covered with 3 patches -> scheme over QQ covered with 3 patchesThe modeling of covered schemes and their expected behavior
Any AbsCoveredScheme may possess several Coverings. This is necessary for several reasons; for instance, a morphism $f : X \to Y$ between AbsCoveredSchemes will in general only be given on affine patches on a refinement of the default_covering of X. The list of available Coverings can be obtained using
coverings — Methodcoverings(X::AbsCoveredScheme)Return the list of internally stored Coverings of $X$.

1-element Vector{Covering{QQField}}:
Covering with 3 patchesEvery AbsCoveredScheme $X$ has to be modeled using one original default_covering $C$, simply to gather the data necessary to fully describe $X$. The affine_charts of $X$ return the patches of this covering. For any refinement $D < C$, we require the following to hold: Every element $U$ of the affine_charts of $D$ is either
- directly an element of the
affine_chartsof $C$; - a
PrincipalOpenSubsetwith some ancestor in theaffine_chartsof $C$; - a
SimplifiedAffineSchemewith some original in theaffine_chartsof $C$.
In all these cases, the affine subsets in the refinements form a tree and thus remember their origins and ambient spaces. In particular, affine patches and also their gluings can be recycled and reused in different coverings and the latter should be merely seen as lists pointing to the objects involved.
