Standard smooth algebras #
A standard smooth algebra is an algebra that admits a SubmersivePresentation. A standard
smooth algebra is of relative dimension n if it admits a submersive presentation of
dimension n.
While every standard smooth algebra is smooth, the converse does not hold. But if S is R-smooth,
then S is R-standard smooth locally on S, i.e. there exists a set { t } of S that
generates the unit ideal, such that Sₜ is R-standard smooth for every t (TODO, see below).
Main definitions #
All of these are in the Algebra namespace. Let S be an R-algebra.
- Algebra.IsStandardSmooth:- Sis- R-standard smooth if- Sadmits a submersive- R-presentation.
- Algebra.IsStandardSmooth.relativeDimension: If- Sis- R-standard smooth this is the dimension of an arbitrary submersive- R-presentation of- S. This is independent of the choice of the presentation (TODO, see below).
- Algebra.IsStandardSmoothOfRelativeDimension n:- Sis- R-standard smooth of relative dimension- nif it admits a submersive- R-presentation of dimension- n.
TODO #
- Show that locally on the target, smooth algebras are standard smooth.
Notes #
This contribution was created as part of the AIM workshop "Formalizing algebraic geometry" in June 2024.
The relative dimension of a standard smooth R-algebra S is
the dimension of an arbitrarily chosen submersive R-presentation of S.
Note: If S is non-trivial, this number is independent of the choice of the presentation as it is
equal to the S-rank of Ω[S/R]
(see IsStandardSmoothOfRelativeDimension.rank_kaehlerDifferential).
