Morphism of algebraic varieties

In algebraic geometry, a morphism between algebraic varieties is a function between the varieties that is given locally by polynomials. It is also called a regular map. A morphism from an algebraic variety to the affine line is also called a regular function.A regular map whose inverse is also regular is called biregular, and they are isomorphisms in the category of algebraic varieties. Because regular and biregular are very restrictive conditions – there are no non-constant regular functions on projective varieties – the weaker condition of a rational map and birational maps are frequently used as well.

Weil conjectures 7: What is an etale morphism?

This talk explains what etale morphisms are in algebraic geometry. We first review etale morphisms in the usual topology of complex manifolds, where they are just local homeomorphism, and explain why this does not work in algebraic geometry. We give a provisional definition of etale morphi

Schemes 10: Morphisms of affine schemes

This lecture is part of an online algebraic geometry course on schemes, based on chapter II of "Algebraic geometry" by Hartshorne. We try to define morphisms of schemes. The obvious definition as morphisms of ringed spaces fails as we show in an example. Instead we have to use the more su

Abstract: The Green-Griffiths-Lang-Vojta conjectures relate the hyperbolicity of an algebraic variety to the finiteness of sets of “rational points”. For instance, it suggests a striking answer to the fundamental question “Why do some polynomial equations with integer coefficients have onl
