Assignment 2023 2

The document contains four questions for an assignment on commutative algebra. Question 1 asks to show that the image of a polynomial map is not an affine variety and that the inverse image of an affine variety under a polynomial map is an affine variety. Question 2 asks about the irreducibility and domain of definition of a rational function on an affine variety. Question 3 asks about the dimension of the maximal ideal quotient of a local ring at a point on two different affine varieties. Question 4 asks to prove two assertions about localizations of a module.

Commutative Algebra Assigment - II

Due 21 October 2023


All rings are assumed to be commutative with identity.
Any result from the lectures may be used without proof unless you are
asked to prove the result.
If you use results from any other sources, provide proofs for them.
Solutions should be rigorous and clearly presented. Ambiguous
arguments will not be given marks.

Question 1. Let K be an algebraically closed field.


(1) Consider the polynomial map F : K 2 −→ K, (x, y) 7→ y. Show that the
image F (V ) of the affine variety V = V (xy − 1) is not an affine variety.
(2) Let F : K n −→ K m be a polynomial map, and let W = V (g1 , g2 , . . . , gk ) ⊆
K m be an affine variety. Show that the inverse image F −1 (W ) of W is
V (g1 ◦ F, g2 ◦ F, . . . , gk ◦ F ), thus is an affine variety.

Question 2. Consider the affine variety V = V (x1 x4 − x2 x3 ) ⊆ K 4 over an alge-


braically closed field K.
(1) Show that V is irreducible.
(2) Let η : K[x1 , x2 , x3 , x4 ] → K[V ] be the natural surjective ring morphism,
η(x1 )
and let f = η(x 2)
∈ K(V ). What is the domain of definition of f ?

Question 3. Let V be an irreducible affine variety over an algebraically closed


field K. Recall that for any point p ∈ V , the ring Op (V ) := {f ∈ K(V ) |
f is regular at p} is local. Denote by Mp the maximal ideal of Op (V ).
(1) Let V = V (y − x2 ) ⊆ K 2 and p = (0, 0). Show that dimK Mp /Mp2 = 1.
(2) Same question as above, but with V = V (y 2 − x3 ) ⊂ K 2 and p = (0, 0), but
now show that dimK Mp /Mp2 = 2.

Question 4. Let M be a module over a ring R. For any f ∈ R which is not nilpotent,
denote by Mf the localisation of M with respect to {1, f, f 2 , . . . }. Given a set of
elements {f1 , f2 , . . . , fn } of R which generate the unit ideal, and has the property
that fiki fjki 6= 0 for any i, j and all ki , kj ∈ Z+ , prove the following assertions.
(1) If m ∈ M is mapped to 0 by the natural map τi : M −→ Mfi , v 7→ v1 , for
each i, then m = 0.
(2) If mi ∈ Mfi are elements such that mi and mj are mapped to the same
element in Mfi fj by the natural maps Mfi −→ Mfi fj and Mfj −→ Mfi fj for
any i, j, then there exists m ∈ M such that τi (m) = mi for all i.
