Canonical bundle

In mathematics, the canonical bundle of a non-singular algebraic variety of dimension over a field is the line bundle , which is the nth exterior power of the cotangent bundle Ω on V. Over the complex numbers, it is the determinant bundle of holomorphic n-forms on V.This is the dualising object for Serre duality on V. It may equally well be considered as an invertible sheaf. The canonical class is the divisor class of a Cartier divisor K on V giving rise to the canonical bundle — it is an equivalence class for linear equivalence on V, and any divisor in it may be called a canonical divisor. An anticanonical divisor is any divisor −K with K canonical. The anticanonical bundle is the corresponding inverse bundle ω−1. When the anticanonical bundle of V is ample, V is called a Fano variety.

Introduction to Fiber Bundles part 1: Definitions

We give the definition of a fiber bundle with fiber F, trivializations and transition maps. This is a really basic stuff that we use a lot. Here are the topics this sets up: *Associated Bundles/Principal Bundles *Reductions of Structure Groups *Steenrod's Theorem *Torsor structure on arith

What is a Manifold? Lesson 12: Fiber Bundles - Formal Description

This is a long lesson, but it is not full of rigorous proofs, it is just a formal definition. Please let me know where the exposition is unclear. I din't quite get through the idea of the structure group of a fiber bundle fully, but I introduced it. The examples in the next lesson will h

Introduction to Fiber Bundles Part 3: Associated Bundles and Amalgamated Products

This is an incomplete introduction here. The basic idea is that the associated principal bundle knows all. This should be obvious since all bundles with G-structure are classified by H^1(X,G) --- it turns out you can recover your original bundle from a principal bundle by taking "amalgamat

Vladimiro Benedetti: Orbital degeneracy loci

Abstract: I will present a joint work with Sara Angela Filippini, Laurent Manivel and Fabio Tanturri (arXiv: 1704.01436). We introduce a new class of varieties, called orbital degeneracy loci. The idea is to use any orbit closure in a representation of an algebraic group to generalise the
