Espace de modulesEn mathématiques, un espace de modules est un espace paramétrant les diverses classes d'objets sous une relation d'équivalence ; l'intérêt est de pouvoir alors munir naturellement ces espaces de classes d'une structure supplémentaire. L'archétype de cette situation est la classification des courbes elliptiques par les points d'une courbe modulaire. Autre exemple : en géométrie différentielle, l'espace de modules d'une variété est l'espace des paramètres définissant la géométrie modulo les difféomorphismes locaux et globaux.
Moduli of algebraic curvesIn algebraic geometry, a moduli space of (algebraic) curves is a geometric space (typically a scheme or an algebraic stack) whose points represent isomorphism classes of algebraic curves. It is thus a special case of a moduli space. Depending on the restrictions applied to the classes of algebraic curves considered, the corresponding moduli problem and the moduli space is different. One also distinguishes between fine and coarse moduli spaces for the same moduli problem.
Siegel modular varietyIn mathematics, a Siegel modular variety or Siegel moduli space is an algebraic variety that parametrizes certain types of abelian varieties of a fixed dimension. More precisely, Siegel modular varieties are the moduli spaces of principally polarized abelian varieties of a fixed dimension. They are named after Carl Ludwig Siegel, the 20th-century German number theorist who introduced the varieties in 1943. Siegel modular varieties are the most basic examples of Shimura varieties.
Moduli schemeIn mathematics, a moduli scheme is a moduli space that exists in the developed by Alexander Grothendieck. Some important moduli problems of algebraic geometry can be satisfactorily solved by means of scheme theory alone, while others require some extension of the 'geometric object' concept (algebraic spaces, algebraic stacks of Michael Artin). Work of Grothendieck and David Mumford (see geometric invariant theory) opened up this area in the early 1960s.
Hilbert schemeIn algebraic geometry, a branch of mathematics, a Hilbert scheme is a scheme that is the parameter space for the closed subschemes of some projective space (or a more general projective scheme), refining the Chow variety. The Hilbert scheme is a disjoint union of projective subschemes corresponding to Hilbert polynomials. The basic theory of Hilbert schemes was developed by . Hironaka's example shows that non-projective varieties need not have Hilbert schemes.
Moduli stack of elliptic curvesIn mathematics, the moduli stack of elliptic curves, denoted as or , is an algebraic stack over classifying elliptic curves. Note that it is a special case of the moduli stack of algebraic curves . In particular its points with values in some field correspond to elliptic curves over the field, and more generally morphisms from a scheme to it correspond to elliptic curves over . The construction of this space spans over a century because of the various generalizations of elliptic curves as the field has developed.
Quot schemeIn algebraic geometry, the Quot scheme is a scheme parametrizing sheaves on a projective scheme. More specifically, if X is a projective scheme over a Noetherian scheme S and if F is a coherent sheaf on X, then there is a scheme whose set of T-points is the set of isomorphism classes of the quotients of that are flat over T. The notion was introduced by Alexander Grothendieck. It is typically used to construct another scheme parametrizing geometric objects that are of interest such as a Hilbert scheme.
Hilbert series and Hilbert polynomialIn commutative algebra, the Hilbert function, the Hilbert polynomial, and the Hilbert series of a graded commutative algebra finitely generated over a field are three strongly related notions which measure the growth of the dimension of the homogeneous components of the algebra. These notions have been extended to filtered algebras, and graded or filtered modules over these algebras, as well as to coherent sheaves over projective schemes.
Schéma noethérienEn géométrie algébrique, les schémas noethériens sont aux schémas ce que les anneaux noethériens sont aux anneaux commutatifs. Ce sont les schémas qui possèdent un certain nombre de propriétés de finitude. De nombreux résultats fondamentaux en géométrie algébrique sont montrés dans le cadre des schémas noethériens. Il est généralement considéré comme raisonnable de travailler dans la catégorie des schémas noethériens. Un schéma affine Spec A est noethérien si A est un anneau noethérien.
Fibré cotangentEn géométrie différentielle, le fibré cotangent associé à une variété différentielle M est le fibré vectoriel T*M de son fibré tangent TM : en tout point m de M, l' est défini comme l'espace dual de l'espace tangent : Les sections lisses du fibré cotangent sont les 1-formes différentielles, l'une d'entre elles étant remarquable et appelée 1-forme tautologique (ou 1-forme de Poincaré, ou 1-forme de Liouville, ou 1-forme canonique, ou potentiel symplectique). Sa dérivée extérieure donne une 2-forme symplectique canonique.
