Lemma 69.3.5 (Wedge product respects de Rham cohomology)\n\nThe wedge product induces a map\n\n\[ \land : {H}_{\mathrm{{dR}}}^{k}\left( M\right) \times {H}_{\mathrm{{dR}}}^{\ell }\left( M\right) \rightarrow {H}_{\mathrm{{dR}}}^{k + \ell }\left( M\right) . \]
Proof. First, we recall that the operator \( d \) satisfies\n\n\[ d\left( {\alpha \land \beta }\right) = \left( {d\alpha }\right) \land \beta + \alpha \land \left( {d\beta }\right) . \]\n\nNow suppose \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \) are closed forms. Then from the above, \( \alpha \land \beta \) is clearly closed. Also if...

Proposition 69.4.4 (Cohomology is anticommutative)\n\n\( {H}^{ \bullet }\left( {X;R}\right) \) is an anticommutative ring, meaning \( \phi \smile \psi = {\left( -1\right) }^{k\ell }\psi \smile \phi \) .
For a proof, see [Ha02, Theorem 3.11, pages 210-212].

The cohomology ring \( {H}^{ \bullet }\left( {{S}^{1} \times {S}^{1};\mathbb{Z}}\right) \) of the torus is generated by elements \( \left| \alpha \right| = \left| \beta \right| = 1 \) which satisfy the relations \( \alpha \smile \alpha = \beta \smile \beta = 0 \), and \( \alpha \smile \beta = - \beta \smile \alpha \) ....
Thus as a \( \mathbb{Z} \) -module it is\n\n\[ \n{H}^{ \bullet }\left( {{S}^{1} \times {S}^{1};\mathbb{Z}}\right) \cong \mathbb{Z} \oplus \left\lbrack {\alpha \mathbb{Z} \oplus \beta \mathbb{Z}}\right\rbrack \oplus \left( {\alpha \smile \beta }\right) \mathbb{Z}.\n\]\n\nThis gives the expected dimensions \( 1 + 2 + 1 =...

Consider \( {S}^{n} \) for \( n \geq 1 \) . The nontrivial cohomology groups are given by \( {H}^{0}\left( {{S}^{n};\mathbb{Z}}\right) \cong \) \( {H}^{n}\left( {{S}^{n};\mathbb{Z}}\right) \cong \mathbb{Z} \) . So as an abelian group\n\n\[ \n{H}^{ \bullet }\left( {{S}^{n};\mathbb{Z}}\right) \cong \mathbb{Z} \oplus \alp...
Now, observe that \( \left| {\alpha \smile \alpha }\right| = {2n} \), but since \( {H}^{2n}\left( {{S}^{n};\mathbb{Z}}\right) = 0 \) we must have \( \alpha \smile \alpha = 0 \) . So even more succinctly,\n\n\[ \n{H}^{ \bullet }\left( {{S}^{n};\mathbb{Z}}\right) \cong \mathbb{Z}\left\lbrack \alpha \right\rbrack /\left( ...

Theorem 69.6.3 (Cohomology pseudo-rings of wedge sums)\n\nWe have\n\n\[ \n{\widetilde{H}}^{ \bullet }\left( {X \land Y;R}\right) \cong {\widetilde{H}}^{ \bullet }\left( {X;R}\right) \times {\widetilde{H}}^{ \bullet }\left( {Y;R}\right) \n\] \n\nas graded pseudo-rings.
This allows us to resolve the first question posed at the beginning. Let \( X = {\mathbb{{CP}}}^{2} \) and \( Y = {S}^{2} \vee {S}^{4} \) . We have that\n\n\[ \n{H}^{ \bullet }\left( {{\mathbb{{CP}}}^{2};\mathbb{Z}}\right) \cong \mathbb{Z}\left\lbrack \alpha \right\rbrack /\left( {\alpha }^{3}\right) \n\] \n\nHence thi...

Theorem 70.5.5 (Prime \( \Leftrightarrow \) irreducible)\n\nLet \( I \) be a radical ideal, and \( V = \mathcal{V}\left( I\right) \) a nonempty variety. Then \( I \) is prime if and only if \( V \) is irreducible.
Proof. First, assume \( V \) is irreducible; we’ll show \( I \) is prime. Let \( f, g \in \mathbb{C}\left\lbrack {{x}_{1},\ldots ,{x}_{n}}\right\rbrack \) so that \( {fg} \in I \) . Then \( V \) is a subset of the union \( \mathcal{V}\left( f\right) \cup \mathcal{V}\left( g\right) \) ; actually, \( V = \left( {V \cap \...

Proposition 70.7.1 \( (\mathcal{V}\left( -\right) \) is inclusion reversing)
If \( I \subseteq J \) then \( \mathcal{V}\left( I\right) \supseteq \mathcal{V}\left( J\right) \) . Thus \( \mathcal{V}\left( -\right) \) is inclusion-reversing.

Let us determine the open sets of \( {\mathbb{A}}^{1} \), which as usual we picture as a straight line (ignoring the fact that \( \mathbb{C} \) is two-dimensional).
Since \( \mathbb{C}\left\lbrack x\right\rbrack \) is a principal ideal domain, rather than looking at \( \mathcal{V}\left( I\right) \) for every \( I \subseteq \mathbb{C}\left\lbrack x\right\rbrack \), we just have to look at \( \mathcal{V}\left( f\right) \) for a single \( f \) . There are a few flavors of polynomials...

Let \( V = \mathcal{V}\left( {y - {x}^{2}}\right) \subseteq {\mathbb{A}}^{2} \) be a parabola, and let \( U = V \smallsetminus \{ \left( {1,1}\right) \} \) . We claim \( U \) is open in \( V \) .
Indeed, \( \widetilde{U} = {\mathbb{A}}^{2} \smallsetminus \{ \left( {1,1}\right) \} \) is open in \( {\mathbb{A}}^{2} \) (since it is the complement of the closed set \( \mathcal{V}\left( {x - 1, y - 1}\right) ) \), so \( U = \widetilde{U} \cap V \) is open in \( V \) . Note that on the other hand the set \( U \) is n...

Theorem 71.4.2 (Coordinate rings correspond to ideal)\n\nLet \( I \) be a radical ideal, and \( V = \mathcal{V}\left( I\right) \subseteq {\mathbb{A}}^{n} \) . Then\n\n\[ \mathbb{C}\left\lbrack V\right\rbrack \cong \mathbb{C}\left\lbrack {{x}_{1},\ldots ,{x}_{n}}\right\rbrack /I \]
Proof. There's a natural surjection as above\n\n\[ \mathbb{C}\left\lbrack {{x}_{1},\ldots ,{x}_{n}}\right\rbrack \rightarrow \mathbb{C}\left\lbrack V\right\rbrack \]\n\nand the kernel is \( I \) .

Example 72.1.8 (Example of a graded quotient ring)\n\nLet \( R = \mathbb{C}\left\lbrack {x, y}\right\rbrack \) and set \( I = \left( {{x}^{3},{y}^{2}}\right) \) . Let \( S = R/I \) . Then
\n\[ {S}^{0} = \mathbb{C} \] \n\n\[ {S}^{1} = \mathbb{C}x \oplus \mathbb{C}y \] \n\n\[ {S}^{2} = \mathbb{C}{x}^{2} \oplus \mathbb{C}{xy} \] \n\n\[ {S}^{3} = \mathbb{C}{x}^{2}y \] \n\n\[ {S}^{d} = 0\;\forall d \geq 4. \] \n\nSo in fact \( S = R/I \) is graded, and is a six-dimensional \( \mathbb{C} \) -vector space.

Since \( F \) is a filter it cannot contain both; we must have one of them outside \( F \), say \( q \) . Hence every element of \( p \in \mathbb{P} \smallsetminus \left( {\...

Example 86.3.4 (Example of an interpretation)\n\nAs we said earlier, \( {\operatorname{Name}}_{1} = \{ \varnothing \} \) . Now suppose\n\n\[ \tau = \left\{ {\left\langle {\varnothing ,{p}_{1}}\right\rangle ,\left\langle {\varnothing ,{p}_{2}}\right\rangle ,\ldots ,\left\langle {\varnothing ,{p}_{n}}\right\rangle }\righ...
\[ {\tau }^{G} = \{ \varnothing \mid \langle \varnothing, p\rangle \in \tau \text{ and }p \in G\} = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \{ \varnothing \} & \text{ if some }{p}_{i} \in G \\ \varnothing & \text{ otherwise. } \end{array}\right. \]\n\nIn particular, remembering that \( G \) is nonempty we see that\n\n\[ \left\{ {{\t...
