Two charts (x₁, y) and (x₁', y) with a common complement #
Kollár's coordinates in the proof of the uniqueness of maximal contact [Kol07, 95]: at
p ∈ H ∩ H' he picks local sections x₁, x₁' ∈ MC(I) with H = (x₁ = 0) and H' = (x₁' = 0),
further coordinates x₂, …, x_{s+1} with Eⁱ = (x_{i+1} = 0), and observes that "for a general
choice of x_{s+2}, …, xₙ" both x₁, x₂, …, xₙ and x₁', x₂, …, xₙ are local coordinate
systems. The ring-level version of
this linear algebra (Hironaka/Algebra/Local/RegularSystemCommon.lean) is carried to the analytic
stalk through the linear parts of germs (linearPart, Hironaka/Manifold/Chart/Cotangent.lean) in
a base chart:
- the snc chart
φofH + Eatpgives coordinatesz = ψ ∘ φwithH = {z_{i₀} = 0}andE^j = {z_{k j} = 0}on its source (exists_sncChart_append); the snc chartφ'ofH' + Egivesx₁' = z'_{i₀'}and the same components as{z'_{k' j} = 0}; - the linear part
vofx₁'in the chartφdoes not lie in the span of thee_{k j}(linearPart_notMem_span_of_isSncChartAt): the equationsz_{k j}andz'_{k' j}of one component generate the same vanishing ideal, so their linear parts are proportional (linearPart_mul_of_mem_maximalIdeal), and inφ'the familyx₁', z'_{k' j}has independent linear parts (distinct coordinates), a property independent of the chart (linearIndependent_cotangentClass_iff_linearPart); - hence some free index
m₀ ∉ {k j}hasv_{m₀} ≠ 0: ifv_{i₀} ≠ 0no tilt is needed, otherwise the coordinatez_{m₀}is tilted toz_{m₀} + z_{i₀}(Kollár's "general choice"; the protected coordinatesz_{k j}are untouched); the tilted family and the family withz_{i₀}replaced byx₁'both span the cotangent space, hence have independent differentials, and the chart-extension theoremexists_chart_extendingturns each into a chart of the maximal atlas centred atp; the second is recoordinatised by a permutation so that the two charts share the coordinates≠ i₀(exists_commonCharts).
The two charts are the input of the coordinate swap that realises the formal equivalence of H
and H' (Hironaka/Resolution/Analytic/MaximalContact/SwapRealizes.lean).
Linear parts: products with a germ of 𝔪, and coordinate families #
The linear part of r · s for s ∈ 𝔪_a is r(a) times the linear part of s.
The linear part of the coordinate germ z_k is the unit vector e_k.
Distinct coordinate germs of a chart have linearly independent linear parts.
The snc chart of E + H at a point of H, unpacked #
An snc chart of the family F.append H at p ∈ H reads H as the coordinate hyperplane of
an index i₀ and every component E^j through p as the hyperplane of an index k j ≠ i₀, the
k j distinct.
The linear part of x₁' is transverse to the components through p #
The equation z_k of a component in one adapted chart is a unit multiple of its equation in
another: their linear parts (in any chart) are proportional. Here span {a} = span {b} for two
germs of 𝔪_p, and the linear part of a is a multiple of that of b.
In the snc chart φ of E + H at p (components E^j = {z_{k j} = 0}), the linear part of
the equation x₁' of H' taken from an snc chart φ' of E + H' does not lie in the span of the
unit vectors e_{k j} (the hypothesis that H' + E has simple normal crossings,
[Kol07, Theorem 92]).
The free index: where to tilt #
Kollár's "general choice" [Kol07, 95]: a vector v outside the span of the unit vectors
e_{k j} has a nonzero coordinate at some index m₀ off the k j; take m₀ = i₀ when
v_{i₀} ≠ 0.
Two families of vectors of 𝕜ⁿ: the tilted basis and the basis with one vector replaced #
The tilted family with the vector at i₀ replaced by v, where v_{m₀} ≠ 0 and v_{i₀} = 0
unless m₀ = i₀, is a basis of 𝕜ⁿ (Kollár's "x₁', x₂, …, xₙ are local coordinates").
Germs of coordinates and of sections, compared through their representatives #
The germ of a section built from a function is the germ of the function.
The germ of a chart coordinate is the germ of the coordinate function.
Two chart coordinates whose functions agree near p have the same germ.
The charts (x₁, y) and (x₁', y) #
Kollár's two coordinate systems x₁, x₂, …, xₙ and x₁', x₂, …, xₙ [Kol07, 95]: at
p ∈ H ∩ H', with E + H and E + H' snc, there are two charts of the maximal atlas centred at
p sharing all coordinates except the one of index i₀, in which H (resp. H') is the
hyperplane {x_{i₀} = 0} — its vanishing ideal at p is generated by the i₀-th coordinate germ
— and every component of E through p is a coordinate hyperplane of an index ≠ i₀.
