5. Deligne-Mumford Stacks
In this section for completeness I will give you the definition of Deligne-Mumford
stacks. I will summarize a few basic results and definitions. Much better accounts
exist in [DM], [Ed] and [LM-B]. See also [Fan].
Let S be the category of schemes over a scheme S. A category T over S is a
category together with a functor p : T � S.
Definition 5.1 (Groupoid). A category ((T, p) over S is a groupoid if the following
two conditions hold
(1) If f : B≤ � B is a morphism in S and C is an object in T lying over B,
then there exists an object C ≤ over B≤ and a morphism ζ : C ≤ � C such
that p(ζ) = f .
(2) Let C, C ≤, C ≤≤ be objects in T lying over the objects B, B≤, B≤≤ in S, re
spectively. If ζ : C ≤ � C and ω : C ≤≤ � C are morphisms in T and
f : B≤ � B≤≤ is a morphism in S satisfying p(ω) ∩ f = p(ζ), then there is a
unique morphism π : C ≤ � C ≤≤ such that ω ∩ π = | https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-727-topics-in-algebraic-geometry-intersection-theory-on-moduli-spaces-spring-2006/06c4e979c3dadcba7d0f3dd69efdb315_const.pdf |
ζ), then there is a
unique morphism π : C ≤ � C ≤≤ such that ω ∩ π = ζ and p(π ) = f .
Example 5.2. Recall that a Deligne-Mumford stable curve (or simply a stable
curve) of genus g → 2 over a scheme S is a proper, flat family β : C � S whose
geometric fibers are reduced, connected, one dimensional schemes Cs satisfying the
following properties:
(1) The only singularities of Cs are ordinary double points.
(2) A non-singular rational component of Cs meets the other components in at
least three points.
(3) Cs has arithmetic genus g—equivalently h1(OCs ) = g.
We can define a groupoid Mg of Deligne-Mumford stable curves of genus g over
schemes over Spec Z as follows: The sections of Mg over a scheme X are families
13
of stable curves C � X. A morphism between C ≤ � X ≤ and C � X is a fiber
diagram
C ≤
C
X
which induces an isomorphism C ≤ �= X ≤ ×X C.

X ≤
Mg is a groupoid and it is the main example that we are interested in.
For the sake of future constructions and definitions it is important to keep in
mind the examples of two more groupoids.
Example 5.3. Any contravariant functor F : S � {sets} from schemes to sets
gives rise to a groupoid (usually also called F by abuse of notation). The objects
of the groupoid F are pairs (X, �) where X is a scheme and � is an element of the
set F (X). A morphism between (X, �) and (Y, λ) is a | https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-727-topics-in-algebraic-geometry-intersection-theory-on-moduli-spaces-spring-2006/06c4e979c3dadcba7d0f3dd69efdb315_const.pdf |
and � is an element of the
set F (X). A morphism between (X, �) and (Y, λ) is a morphism f : X � Y such
that F (f )(λ) = �. In particular, this construction allows us to view schemes as
groupoids. To a scheme X we can associate its functor of points Hom(�, X). Since
this is a contravariant functor from schemes to sets, to a scheme X we can also
associate a groupoid X. The distinction between a scheme X and the associated
groupoid is often blurred.
Example 5.4. Since the construction of many moduli spaces involves taking the
quotient of a parameter space (such as a component of a Hilbert scheme) by a
group action, the groupoid [X/G] is important. Let X be a scheme and G a group
scheme acting on X. The sections of [X/G] over a scheme Y are principal G-bundles
E � Y together with a G-equivariant map E � X. A morphism between two such
principal G-bundles is a pull-back diagram.
Exercise 5.5. There is a relation between the previous two examples. Show that
if the action of G on X is free and a quotient scheme X/G exists, then then there
is an equivalence of categories between [X/G] and the groupoid associated to the
scheme X/G.
Let (T, p) be a groupoid. For any two objects X and Y in the fiber of T over
a scheme B, we can associate a functor IsomB (X, Y ). This functor associates to
any morphism f : B≤ � B, the set of isomorphisms in T (B≤) between f �(X) | https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-727-topics-in-algebraic-geometry-intersection-theory-on-moduli-spaces-spring-2006/06c4e979c3dadcba7d0f3dd69efdb315_const.pdf |
� � B, the set of isomorphisms in T (B≤) between f �(X) and
f �(Y ).
In the case of Deligne-Mumford stable curves, given any two stable curves C and
C ≤ , IsomX (C, C ≤) associates to any morphism f : Y � X the set of isomorphisms
between f �(C) and f �(C ≤). Recall that C and C ≤ are both canonically polarized
by �C/X and �C /X , respectively. Moreover, the formation of the relative dual
izing sheaf commutes with base change. Consequently, any isomorphism satisfies
f �(�C /X ) = �C/X . Hence, all isomorphisms are isomorphisms between polarized
schemes. It follows by the existence of the Hilbert scheme, that IsomX (C, C ≤) is
represented by a scheme quasi-projective over X.
Definition 5.6 (Stack). A groupoid (T, p) over S is a stack if
(1) IsomB (X, Y ) is a sheaf in the ´etale topology for all B, X and Y ;
14
�
�
(2) If {Bi � B} is a covering of B in the ´etale topology, and Xi are a collection
of objects in T (Bi) with isomorphisms
ζi,j : Xj|Bi ×B Bj � Xi|Bi ×B Bj
in T (Bi ×B Bj ) satisfying the cocycle condition, then there exists an object
X ⊗ T (B) with isomorphisms X|Bi � Xi inducing the isomorphisms ζi,j .
Example 5.7. The groupoid [X/G] defined in Example 5.4 is a stack. Let e, e≤ be
two objects in [X/G | https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-727-topics-in-algebraic-geometry-intersection-theory-on-moduli-spaces-spring-2006/06c4e979c3dadcba7d0f3dd69efdb315_const.pdf |
/G] defined in Example 5.4 is a stack. Let e, e≤ be
two objects in [X/G](Y ) corresponding to two principal G-bundles E, E ≤ � Y with
G-equivariant maps f, f ≤ to X, respectively. IsomY (e, e≤) is empty unless E = E≤
and f = f ≤ . In the latter case the isomorphisms correspond to the subgroup of
G that stabilizes the map f . Since the functor that associates to a G-equivariant
map its stabilizer is representable, condition (1) follows. Condition (2) also holds
for principal G-bundles.
Let Pg,n(m) be the Hilbert polynomial (2nm − 1)(g − 1), the Hilbert polynomial
of an n-canonically embedded stable curve. Set N = n(2g−2)−g. Let H g,n the sub-
scheme of the Hilbert scheme Hilb(2nm−1)(g−1)(PN ) parameterizing n-canonically
embedded stable curves. Below we will show that there is an equivalence of cate
gories between Mg and [H g,n/PGL(N + 1)] where the action of PGL(N + 1) on
the Hilbert scheme is the one induced by its usual action on PN . In particular, it
follows from the previous example that Mg is a stack.
Recall in example 5.3 we associated to a scheme a groupoid. Observe that this
groupoid is a stack. The second condition is satisfied because the functor of points
of a scheme is represented by the scheme itself. In particular, we can view each
scheme as a stack. In the litterature stacks that arise this way are usually referred
to as schemes meaning that the stack associated to the scheme | https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-727-topics-in-algebraic-geometry-intersection-theory-on-moduli-spaces-spring-2006/06c4e979c3dadcba7d0f3dd69efdb315_const.pdf |
each
scheme as a stack. In the litterature stacks that arise this way are usually referred
to as schemes meaning that the stack associated to the scheme. We will also indulge
in this habit.
A morphism of stacks f : T � T ≤ is representable if for any map of a scheme
X � T ≤ the fiber product T ×T X is represented by a scheme. We can transport
the notions of morphisms of schemes to representable morphisms of stacks in the
following way: We say that a representable morphism f : T � T ≤ has a property P
(such as quasi-compact, separated, proper, etc.) if for all maps of a scheme X � T ≤ ,
the corresponding morphism of schemes T ×T X � X has the property P .
Definition 5.8 (Deligne-Mumford stack). A stack is called a Deligne-Mumford
stack if
(1) The diagonal ΩX : T � T ×S T is representable, quasi-compact and sepa
rated;
(2) There exists a scheme U and an ´etale, surjective morphism U � T .
Morphisms as in condition (2) are called ´etale atlases.
The following is a useful theorem for verifying that a stack is a Deligne-Mumford
stack (see [DM] Theorem 4.21, or [Ed] Theorem 2.1).
Theorem 5.9. Let T be a quasi-separated stack over a Noetherian scheme S.
Suppose that
(1) The diagonal is representable and unramified,
(2) There exists a scheme U of finite type over S and a smooth, surjective
S-morphism U � F .
15
The F is a Deligne-Mumford stack | https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-727-topics-in-algebraic-geometry-intersection-theory-on-moduli-spaces-spring-2006/06c4e979c3dadcba7d0f3dd69efdb315_const.pdf |
surjective
S-morphism U � F .
15
The F is a Deligne-Mumford stack.
A consequence of this theorem is that if X/S is a Noetherian scheme of finite
type and G/S is a smooth group scheme acting on X with with finite and reduced
stabilizers, then [X/G] is a Deligne-Mumford stack. The conditions on the stabiliz
ers (that they are finite and reduced) guarantee that IsomB (E, E) are unramified.
It follows that the diagonal is unramified. The second condition in the theorem is
satisfied by the map X � [X/G].
Given the equivalence of categories between Mg and [H g,n/PGL(N + 1)] it
follows that Mg is a Deligne-Mumford stack because the action of PGL(N + 1) on
H g,n has finite and reduced stabilizers.
Just like in the case of schemes there are valuative criteria for separatedness and
properness. We now state these and observe that Mg is a proper Deligne-Mumford
stack. For the following two theorems let f : T � S be a morphism of finite type
from a Deligne-Mumford stack to a noetherian scheme S
Theorem 5.10 (The valuative criterion for separatedness). The morphism f is
separated if and only if for any complete discrete valuation ring with algebraically
closed residue field and any commutative diagram

any isomorphism between the restrictions of g1 and g2 to the generic point of Spec R

of g1 and g2.
Theorem 5.11 (The valuative criterion of properness). If f is separated, then f
is proper if and only if, for any discrete valuation ring R with field of fractions
K and any map Spec R � T which lifts over Spec K to a map to T , there is a
finite extension K ≤ of K such that the lift extends to all of Spec R≤ where R≤ is the
integral closure of R in K ≤ .
The stable reduction theorem together with the valuative criterion of properness
implies that Mg is a proper Deligne-Mumford stack.
One approach for constructing the coarse moduli scheme (which we cannot com
plete at present because we have not yet developed the theory of divisors on the
moduli stack) is to first construct the moduli space as an algebraic space, then ex
hibit an ample divisor on the coarse moduli algebraic space. This approach has been
applied successfully to represent many moduli functors. The first step is achieved
by a corollary of a general theorem of Keel and Mori [KM] (see also [Li] for a nice
treatment).
Theorem 5.12. Any separated Deligne-Mumford stack of finite type has a coarse
moduli space in the category of algebraic spaces.
Once we study the ample cone in the Picard group of the moduli stack, we
will be able to deduce the existence of a coarse moduli scheme from the previous
theorem. The second approach to the construction of the coarse moduli scheme is to
directly take the G.I.T. quotient of the Hilbert scheme parameterizing n-canonically
embedded stable curves. The advantage of | https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-727-topics-in-algebraic-geometry-intersection-theory-on-moduli-spaces-spring-2006/06c4e979c3dadcba7d0f3dd69efdb315_const.pdf |
to
directly take the G.I.T. quotient of the Hilbert scheme parameterizing n-canonically
embedded stable curves. The advantage of the first approach is that it does away

with delicate calculations describing the stable and semi-stable loci of this action.
The first approach may also be used to construct moduli spaces in other situations.
The advantage of the second approach is that it produces a projective coarse moduli
scheme at once.
6. The GIT construction of the moduli space
Good references for this section are [HM] Chapter 4, [Mum3], [FKM] and [Ne].
Explaining the GIT construction in detail would take us too far afield. Instead we
will briefly sketch the main ideas and refer you to the literature.
6.1. Basics about G.I.T.. An algebraic group G is a group together with the
structure of an algebraic variety such that the multiplication and inverse maps are
morphisms of varieties. An action of an algebraic group G on a variety X is a
morphism f : G × X � X such that f (gg≤, x) = f (g, f (g≤, x)) and f (e, x) = x,
where e is the identity of the group. The stabilizer of a point x ⊗ X is the closed
subgroup of G fixing x. The orbit of a point x under G is the image of f restricted
to G × {x}.
For our purposes we can always restrict attention to SL(n), GL(n) or PGL(n).
An algebraic group which is isomorphic to a closed subgroup of GL(n) is called
a linear algebraic group. A group is called geometrically reductive if for every
linear action of G on kn and every non-zero invariant point v ⊗ kn, there exists | https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-727-topics-in-algebraic-geometry-intersection-theory-on-moduli-spaces-spring-2006/06c4e979c3dadcba7d0f3dd69efdb315_const.pdf |
geometrically reductive if for every
linear action of G on kn and every non-zero invariant point v ⊗ kn, there exists an
invariant homogeneous polynomial that does not vanish on v. The group is called
linearly reductive if the homogeneous polynomial may be taken to have degree
one. Finally a group is called reductive if the maximal connected normal solvable
subgroup is isomorphic to a direct product of copies of k� . In characteristic zero
these concepts coincide. In characteristic p > 0 a threorem of Haboush guarantees
that every reductive group is geometrically reductive.
The question is to obtain a quotient of a variety under the action of a reductive
group.
Lemma 6.1. Let G be a geometrically reductive group acting on an affine variety
X. Let W1 and W2 be two disjoint invariant closed orbits. Then there exists an
invariant polynomial f ⊗ A(X)G such that f (W1) = 0 and f (W2) = 1.
Proof. Pick any h ⊗ A(X) such that h(W1) = 0 and h(W2) = 1. Consider the
subspace spanned by hg for g ⊗ G. This is a finite dimensional subspace. To see
this consider the function H(g, x) = h(gx) in A(G × X) � A(G) ∗ A(X). We
=
can write H(g, x) as a finite sum
Fi ∗ Hi in A(G) ∗ A(X) of the generators of
A(G) and A(X). Hence the subspace spanned by hg for g ⊗ G is contained in the
subspace spanned by the Hi. Pick a basis for this subspace h1, . . . , hn. We obtain | https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-727-topics-in-algebraic-geometry-intersection-theory-on-moduli-spaces-spring-2006/06c4e979c3dadcba7d0f3dd69efdb315_const.pdf |
in the
subspace spanned by the Hi. Pick a basis for this subspace h1, . . . , hn. We obtain
a rational representation of G on this subspace, hence a linear action on kn making
the morphism β : X � kn given by β(x) = (h1(x), . . . , hn(x)) into a G-morphism.
Since G is geometrically reductive there is an invariant polynomial f that has the
value zero on β(W1 ) and the value 1 on β(W2). f ∩ β is the desired polynomial. �
�
i
The main theorem for quotients of reductive group actions on affine varieties is
the following:
17
Theorem 6.2. Let G be a reductive group acting on an affine variety X. Then
there exists a quotient affine variety Y and a G-invariant, surjective morphism
ζ : X � Y such that
(1) For any open set U ≥ Y , the ring homomorphism
ζ� : A(U ) � A(ζ−1 (U ))
is an isomorphism of A(U ) with A(ζ−1(U ))G .
(2) If W ≥ X is a closed invariant subset, then ζ(W ) is closed in Y .
(3) If W1 and W2 are disjoint closed invariant sets, then their images under ζ
are disjoint.
Proof. The main technical results are provided by a theorem of Haboush and a
theorem of Nagata.
Theorem 6.3 (Haboush). Any reductive group G is geometrically reductive.
Theorem 6.4 (Nagata). Let G be a geometrically reductive group acting rationally
on a finitely generated k-algebra R. Then the ring of | https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-727-topics-in-algebraic-geometry-intersection-theory-on-moduli-spaces-spring-2006/06c4e979c3dadcba7d0f3dd69efdb315_const.pdf |
ductive group acting rationally
on a finitely generated k-algebra R. Then the ring of invariants RG is finitely
generated.
In view of these theorems A(X)G is finitely generated. Hence we can let Y =
Spec A(X)G . The inclusion of A(X)G � A(X) induces a morphism ζ : X � Y .
�
The claimed properties are easy to check for ζ.
Remark 6.5. The following are straightforward observations:
(1) For any open subset U ≥ Y , (U, ζ) is a categorical quotient of ζ−1(U ) by
G.
(2) The images of two points in X coincide if and only if the orbit closures of
these two points intersect. Consequently, Y will be an orbit space if and
only if the orbits of the G action on X are closed.
Remark 6.6. We will not prove Haboush’s theorem here. The interested reader
may consult the original paper [Hab]. Over the complex numbers reductive, ge
ometrically reductive and linearly reductive coincide. This follows from the fact
that any finite dimensional representation is decomposible to irreducible represen
tations. Projection to the one-dimensional invariant subspace produces the desired
invariant linear functional.
We now sketch the proof of Nagata’s theorem. Since R is a finitely generated
k-algebra, we can pick generators f1, dots, fn that generate R. We can also assume
that the subspace spanned by the fi is G-invariant. (If not, we can replace it by
a minimal G-invariant subspace, which is � | https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-727-topics-in-algebraic-geometry-intersection-theory-on-moduli-spaces-spring-2006/06c4e979c3dadcba7d0f3dd69efdb315_const.pdf |
If not, we can replace it by
a minimal G-invariant subspace, which is finite-dimensional by the argument in
Lemma 6.1.) We thus obtain a linear G action on the subspace spanned by fi by
setting
Let S = k[X1, . . . , Xn]. There is an action of G on S by setting
f g =
i
�
j
�i,j (g)fj .
X g =
i
�
j
�i,j (g)Xj .
There is a k-algebra homomorphism from S to R sending Xi to fi that is compatible
with the G actions. We are thus reduced to proving Nagata’s theorem in the case
18
when G acts on S preserving degree, Q ≥ S is a G-invariant ideal with the induced
action on R = S/Q. Under these assumptions we would like to see RG is finitely
generated.
Suppose not. Since S is Noetherian, there exists an ideal Q maximal among those
that are G-invariant such that RG where R = S/Q is not finitely generated. Then
if J �= 0 is a G-invariant homogeneous ideal in R, then (R/J)G is finitely generated.
Suppose first there is a homogeneous ideal Q with the desired properties.
I claim that (R/J)G is integral over RG/(J ≤ RG). Suppose f ⊗ (R/J)G . Pick
h ⊗ R such that the image of h in R/J is f . We would like to find h0 ⊗ RG such
that (h)t − h0 for some positive integer t is in RG . Look at the finite-dimensional,
G-invariant subsapce M generated by hg . [Unfortunately, there is potential for
confusion between hg and (h)t . The first denotes the g-translate of h | https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-727-topics-in-algebraic-geometry-intersection-theory-on-moduli-spaces-spring-2006/06c4e979c3dadcba7d0f3dd69efdb315_const.pdf |
for
confusion between hg and (h)t . The first denotes the g-translate of h, the second
denotes the t-th power of h. To distinguish between these two, we will put paren
theses around h in the latter case.] Since J is invariant, hg − h is in J for every g.
We conclude that M ≤ J has codimension 1 in M . We can write every element in
M uniquely as ah + h≤ where a ⊗ k and h≤ ⊗ M ≤ J. Sending ah + h≤ to a defines
a G-invariant linear functional l on M .
There is an action of G also on M � . If we let h, j2, . . . , jn be a basis of M
where ji ⊗ M ≤ J, we can identify M � with kr in terms of the dual basis. The
linear functional l corresponds to the vector (1, 0, . . . , 0). Since G is geometrically
reductive, there exists an invariant homogeneous polynomial F ⊗ k[X1, . . . , Xn] of
t does not vanish. Consider the morphism
degree t → 1 such that the coefficient of X1
k[X1, . . . , Xn] sending X1 to h and Xi to ji for i > 1.If h0 is the image of F , ht − h0
belongs to J. We conclude that (R/J)G is integral over RG/(J ≤ RG).
If A is a finitely generated k-algebra which is integral over a subalgebra B, then
B is finitely generated. Hence in our case, RG/(J ≤ RG) is finitely generated. In
fact, (R/J)G is a finite RG/(J ≤ RG)-module.
Choose a non-zero homogeneous element f of RG of degree | https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-727-topics-in-algebraic-geometry-intersection-theory-on-moduli-spaces-spring-2006/06c4e979c3dadcba7d0f3dd69efdb315_const.pdf |
finite RG/(J ≤ RG)-module.
Choose a non-zero homogeneous element f of RG of degree at least one. If
f is not a zero-divisor, f R ≤ RG = f RG . Since RG/f RG is finitely generated,
(RG/f RG)+ is finitely generated as an ideal. Hence RG is finitely generated as an
+
ideal in RG . Hence RG is a finitely generated k-algebra.
Exercise 6.7. Modify the last paragraph of the proof in case f is a zero-divisor.
Hint: Consider the homogeneous ideal I of elements of R that annihilate f . Since
RG/(f R ≤ RG) and RG/I ≤ RG are both finitely generated, there is a finitely
generated subalgebra of RG that surjects onto both these algebras
In order to handle the non-homogeneous case, we may assume that RG is a
domain. By the homogeneous case S G is finitely generated. RG is integral over
SG/Q≤SG . It suffices to show that the field of fractions of RG is a finitely generated
extension of k. Let T be the set of non-zero divisors of R. Form the ring of fractions
of R with respect to T . Let m be the maximal ideal. The field of fractions of RG
may be identified with a subfield of T −1R/m. Since T −1R/m is the field of fractions
of the finitely generated k-algebra R/m ≤ R, this follows.
Example 6.8. Everyone’s favorite example is the action of GL(n) on the space of
n × n matrices Mn by conjugation. The space of matrices is isomorphic to affine | https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-727-topics-in-algebraic-geometry-intersection-theory-on-moduli-spaces-spring-2006/06c4e979c3dadcba7d0f3dd69efdb315_const.pdf |
matrices Mn by conjugation. The space of matrices is isomorphic to affine
space An . Hence, the coordinate ring is k[ai,j ], 1 ∼ i, j ∼ n. Any conjugacy class
19
2
has a representative in Jordan canonical form which is unique upto a permutation
of the Jordan blocks. Since the set of eigenvalues of a matrix is invariant under
conjugation, we see that the elementary symmetric polynomials of the eigenval
ues, i.e. the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial, are invariant under the
action. Conversely, suppose that a polynomial is invariant under conjugation. If
the eigenvalues are distinct, we can diagonalize the matrix by connjugation. Hence
the polynomial must be a symmetric function of the eigenvalues. If the eigenvalues
are repeated, the diagonal matrix is in the closure of the orbits with non-trivial
Jordan blocks. We conclude that any invariant polynomial is a symmetric polyno
mial of the eigenvalues. Since the elementary symmetric polynomials generate the
ring of symmetric polynomials, we conclude that the ring of invariant functions is
generated by the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial.
Now we would like to extend the discussion from actions of reductive groups on
affine varieties to actions on projective varieties. Suppose we have a group acting
on a projective variety X ≥ Pn . A linearization of the action of G is a linear action
on kn+1 which induces the given action on X. More generally, let X be a variety,
G a group acting on it and L a line bundle on X. A linearization of the action of
G with respect to L is a linear action on L that induces the action of G on X.
Definition 6.9. A point x ⊗ X is called semi | https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-727-topics-in-algebraic-geometry-intersection-theory-on-moduli-spaces-spring-2006/06c4e979c3dadcba7d0f3dd69efdb315_const.pdf |
on X.
Definition 6.9. A point x ⊗ X is called semi-stable if there exists an invariant
homogeneous polynomial that does not vanish on x. A point x ⊗ X is called stable
if there exists an invariant polynomial f that does not vanish on x, the action of
G on Xf is closed and the dimension of the orbit of x is equal to the dimension of
G. These depend not only on the action, but the chosen linearization. Denote the
locus of semi-stable points by X ss and the locus of stable points by X s .
Remark 6.10. Note that the semi-stable points are precisely those that do not
contain 0 in the closure of their orbits. Both X ss and X s are clearly open (possibly
empty) in X.
The main theorem of G.I.T. is the existence of a good quotient of the semi-stable
locus whose restriction to the stable locus is a geometric quotient. We will call a
quotient a good quotient if it satisfies the conditions of Theorem 6.2. We will call
a good quotient that is also an orbit space a geometric quotient.
Theorem 6.11. Let X be a projective variety in Pn . Then for every linear action
of a reductive group G on X
(1) There exists a good quotient (Y, ζ) of X ss by G and Y is projective.
(2) There exists an open subset Y s of Y such that ζ−1(Y s) = X s and (Y s, ζ)
is a geometric quotient of X s .

is important to determine the stable and semi-stable
loci for reductive group actions on projective varieties. Unfortunately, this in gen
eral is a very difficult problem. There is one instance where stability and semi-
stability is easy to determine.
Definition 6.12. A one-parameter subgroup is a homomorphism � : Gm � G.
Any action of k� on kn+1 can be diagonalized. Hence, there exists a basis
e0, . . . , en such that the action of the one-parameter subgroup � is given by �(t)ei =

Theorem 6.13 (The Hilbert-Mumford criterion of stability). Let G be a reductive
group acting linearly on a projective variety X ≥ Pn . Then:
(1) x is semi-stable if and only if for every one-parameter subgroup � of G
µ(x, �) → 0.
(2) x is stable if and only if for every one-parameter subgroup � of G µ(x, �) >
0.
Proof. The challenging part of the theorem is to produce a one-parameter subgroup
that has the wrong µ invariant if x is not semi-stable. We will sketch Hilbert’s proof
for the case G = SL(m). The general case follows the same general line of argument
(see §2.1 [FKM]).

prove the theorem for general groups one needs to use a theorem of Iwahori which
asserts that the double coset in G(R)\G(K)/G(R) for a reductive group can be
represented by a one-parameter subgroup.

Exercise 6.14. Modify the previous argument to obtain the theorem for the semi-
stable case.
Example 6.15 (Points on P1). Consider the action of SL(2) on the homogeneous
polynomials of degree d in two variables. Let � be a one-parameter subgroup of
SL(2). If we diagonalize the action of � on k2 by diag(ta, t−a) in coordinates
(x, y), then the monomials xiyd−i diagonalizes the action of � on homogeneous
21
polynomials of degree d. The weight of the action on xiyd−i is a(2i − d). If we
want the weight to be negative, then the coefficient of one monomial xiy
with
2i − d < 0 has to be non-zero. This means that a homogeneous polynomial is
stable if and only if it does not have any zeros with multiplicity → d/2. Similarly,
a homogeneous polynomial | https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-727-topics-in-algebraic-geometry-intersection-theory-on-moduli-spaces-spring-2006/06c4e979c3dadcba7d0f3dd69efdb315_const.pdf |

a homogeneous polynomial is semi-stable if and only if it does not have any zeros
with multiplicity > d/2.

Example 6.16 (Cubic plane curves). Consider the action of SL(3) on the homo
geneous polynomials of degree 3 in three variables. If we diagonalize the action
of a one-parameter subgroup � in terms of the coordinates x1, x2, x3 such that
�(t)xi = twi xi, then the basis given by monomials x1x2x 3−i−j diagonalizes the
action of � on degree 3 homogeneous polynomials. The weight of the action on
j 3−i−j
i x2x
is given by iw1 + jw2 + (3 − i − j)w3. We can visualize the one param

eter subgroup in terms of barycentric coordinates. The one-parameter subgroups
correspond in this picture to lines pivoted around the point (i, j, 3−i−j) = (1, 1, 1).
If we move the line without crossing any integral points on the triangle, we do not
change the conditions for stability. Also the picture is invariant under the sym
metries of the triangle. Analyzing the coefficients we see that a cubic is stable if
and only if it is smooth. Similarly a cubic is semi-stable if and only if it has ordi
nary double points. Note that the G.I.T. quotient of the stable locus in this case
constructs the j-line.

6.2. The construction of M g . In view of Theorem 6.11 in order to construct M g
we need to show that the N -canonically embedded Deligne-Mumford stable curves
are stable points for the SL(n + 1)-action on the Hilbert scheme and that they form
a closed subset. The details of this verification are involved. You may find good
accounts in [HM] and [Mum3].
We would like to apply the Hilbert-Mumford criterion to the action of SL(n + 1)
on HilbP (m)(Pn). Fix a one-parameter subgroup � of SL(n + 1). Suppose in
terms of homogeneous coordinates xi that diagonalize the action, the weights are
w0, . . . , wn. Of course, as usual we have that
i wi = 0. Recall that we exhibited
the Hilbert scheme as a subscheme of the Grassmannian G(P (m), H 0(Pn , OPn (m)))
for m greater than or equal to the regularity of all the ideal sheaves with Hilbert
polynomial P . The Grassmannian has natural Pl¨ucker coordinates consisting of
P (m)-element subsets of monomials in the xi of degree m. This basis also diag

The Hilbert-Mumford criterion for semi-stability then translates to the condition
that for each one parameter subgroup, there should be a non-vanishing Pl¨ucker
coordinate whose weight is non-positive.
We begin by showing that the m-th Hilbert points of smooth, non-degenerate
curves embedded by a complete linear series of degree d → 2g are stable for the
SL(n + 1) action.

Theorem 6.18 (Stability for smooth curves). Let C be a smooth curve of genus
g → 2 embedded in projective space Pd−g by a complete linear system of degree d
at least 2g. Then C is Hilbert stable. Moreover, there exists M such that for all
m → M , the m-th Hilbert point of non-degenerate, smooth curves of degree d and
genus g in Pd−g is stable.
Sketch. The proof is an application of the Hilbert-Mumford criterion.

Definition 6.19 (Potential stability). A connected curve C of degree d and genus
g in Pd−g+1 is called potentially stable if
(1) The embedded curve C is non-degenerate.
(2) The abstract curve C is moduli semi-stable.
(3) The linear series embedding C is complete and non-special (i.e. has h1 = 0).

Remark 6.20. Observe that if C ≤ is a smooth rational curve meeting the rest of
the curve in exactly two points (k = 2), then the term gC − 1 + k/2 = 0, hence the
degree of C ≤ has to be 1. In other words, C ≤ is a line. By the same argument, if C ≤ is
a nodal tree of smooth rational curves meeting the rest of C in exactly two points,
then C ≤ is a smooth rational curve since the degree is at most one. Furthermore,
C ≤ cannot meet the rest of the curve in only one point.
Recall that �C|C is the dualizing sheaf �C twisted by the nodes connecting C ≤

Theorem 6.21 (Potential stability). Let g → 2 and d > 9(g − 1). Then there is
an integer M depending only on d and g such that if m → M and C ⊗ Pd−g is a
connected curve with semi-stable m-th Hilbert point, then C is potentially | https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-727-topics-in-algebraic-geometry-intersection-theory-on-moduli-spaces-spring-2006/06c4e979c3dadcba7d0f3dd69efdb315_const.pdf |
−g is a
connected curve with semi-stable m-th Hilbert point, then C is potentially stable.
The proof of this theorem is quite lengthy eventhough the strategy is straight
forward. We suppose C has a geometric property that violates potential stability.
Under this assumption we construct a one-parameter subgroup that destabilizes
the Hilbert point of C contradicting the assumption that the m-th Hilbert point of
C was semi-stable.
We first assume Theorem 6.21 and deduce from it the existence of the coarse
moduli space M g . Fix an integer r → 5. Consider r-canonically embedded stable
∗r
is very ample for r → 3, every Deligne-Mumford stable curve
curves. Since �C
has a representative in the Hilbert scheme H = Hilbr(2g−2)+1−g(Pr(2g−2)−g ). Now
consider the subscheme H of H subscheme of the Hilbert scheme parameterizing
r-canonically embedded Deligne-Mumford stable curves. Let H ss denote the inter-
section of H with the semi-stable locus of H. Since r → 5, we have that the degree
of the curves are at least 10(g − 1) > 9(g − 1). Therefore, the assumption of the
Potential Stability Theorem is satisfied. We conclude that every semi-stable point
ˆof H is potentially stable.

H ssˆ .
Proof. To show that H ss is closed we need to show that the inclusion H ss � ˆ
H ss
is proper. By the valuative criterion of properness it suffices to check that given
a map from the spectrum of a DVR to ˆH ss whose generic point lies in H ss, the
closed point also lies in H ss . Given such a map consider the universal curve CR over
Spec (R). There are two line bundles on CR, the relative dualizing sheaf �CR/R and
OCR (1). These two are isomorphic except possibly at the central fiber. To conclude
the lemma we need to show that they also agree on the central fiber. Hence the
i aiCi is a linear combination of the central
two differ by OCR (−
fiber. We need that ai = 0 for all i. We can assume that ai → 0 for all i with at

least one ai = 0. Let C1
C ≤ be the subcurve of the central fiber D where ai = 0. We see that all ai = 0 as

Lemma 6.23. Every curve C whose Hilbert point lies in H ss is Deligne-Mumford
stable.
Proof. By the potential stability theorem C is semi-stable. In order to show that
it is stable we need to check that there are no rational curves that intersect the
rest of the curve in only two points. On a rational curve meeting the rest of C in
two points, the degree of the dualizing sheaf of C is zero whereas OC (1) is very
ample. Since these two coincide for points in H ss, we conclude that C must be
�
Deligne-Mumford stable.
Lemma 6.24. Every Deligne-Mumford stable curve of genus g has a model in H ss .
Proof. Every moduli stable curve C is embedded in Pr(2g−2)−g by its �
∗r
. We need
C
to show that the Hilbert point of C lies in H ss . If C is smooth, we already know this
by Theorem 6.18. To deduce it for singular Deligne-Mumford stable curves, we take
a one-parameter deformation of C to a smooth curve of genus g over the spectrum
of a DVR R. If we embed this curve r-canonically, we get a map from Spec R
to the Hilbert scheme. The generic point lies in H ss . Since the G.I.T. quotient
of the Hilbert scheme ˆH ss by the action of the special linear group is projective,
after a | https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-727-topics-in-algebraic-geometry-intersection-theory-on-moduli-spaces-spring-2006/06c4e979c3dadcba7d0f3dd69efdb315_const.pdf |
scheme ˆH ss by the action of the special linear group is projective,
after a base change we can extend the map to ˆH ss . Since H ss is closed, the image
of the map lies in H ss . Pulling back the universal curve we obtain a semi-stable
reduction of a family of stable curves. By the uniqueness of semi-stable reduction
this family has to agree with our original family. Since the curves H ss are actually
stable, the central fiber of both families have to be projectively equivalent. The
�
lemma follows.
Lemma 6.25. Every curve whose Hilbert point lies in H ss is Hilbert stable.
Proof. We need to show that every point in H ss has closed orbit and the stabilizer
of a point in H ss is finite. Suppose the stabilizer is not finite, then the curve
24
C would have infinitely many automorphisms contradicting that Deligne-Mumford
stable curves have only finitely many automorphisms. If the orbit is not closed, then
the closure would contain a semi-stable orbit with positive dimensional stabilizer.

Again we would obtain a contradiction.
Lemma 6.26. The locus H ss is non-singular.

that the special fiber is isomorphic to C. Moreover, for a stable curve the versal

gebrizable and the generic fiber is smooth.
˜
Let [C] ⊗ H ss be a point. Let C be the universal formal deformation of C over
B = Spec k[[t1, . . . , tr]]. Set S be the formal completion of H ss at [C]. By the
universal property of the Hilbert scheme we get a map S � H ss . By the universal
property there exists a unique morphism f : S � B such that the pull-back of the
universal curve is S ×B C. The Lemma follows from the claim that f : S � B is

One important aspect of the G.I.T. construction is that the projectivity of M g
is immediate. Another important consequence is the irreducibility of the moduli
space of curves over an algebraically closed field of any characteristic. Originally
Deligne and Mumford developed the theory of Deligne-Mumford stacks to prove
the irreducibility in all characteristics and for all genus in [DM].
Theorem 6.27. The moduli space M g is projective.
Theorem 6.28. The moduli space M g is irreducible (and reduced) over any alge
braically closed field.
Proof. Soon we will see that the moduli space of curves in characteristic zero is
irreducible. There are many ways of seeing this. We will use Teichm¨uller theory
to construct Mg as the quotient of a bounded, contractible domain in C3g−3 . Al
ternatively, one can exhibit every smooth curves as a branched cover of P1 . When
the number of branch points is large relative | https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-727-topics-in-algebraic-geometry-intersection-theory-on-moduli-spaces-spring-2006/06c4e979c3dadcba7d0f3dd69efdb315_const.pdf |
exhibit every smooth curves as a branched cover of P1 . When
the number of branch points is large relative to the degree of the map, using the
combinatorics of the symmetric group one may show that the space of branched
covers of P1 is irreducible. Suppose now that the characteristic of the field k is
positive. Let R be a discrete valuation ring whose quotient field has characteris
tic zero and whose residue field is k. The construction outlined so far works over
R /PGL � Spec R is connnected, by Zariski’s
Spec R. Since the generic fiber of H ss
R /PGL ∗ k is connected. Since this is an orbit space H ss
connectedness theorem H ss
is connected. Since it is smooth, it is reduced and irreducible. Consequently M g is
also irreducible. M g is also reduced because the structure sheaf of the quotient is
�
the sheaf of invariants of the structure sheaf of H ss .
k
Finally we enumerate the steps that one carries out in order to prove the Poten
tial Stability Theorem. We assume that a geometric condition violating potential
stability occurs on a curve. We then produce a one-parameter subgroup destabiliz
ing that point, hence showing that it is not a Hilbert stable point. Unfortunately
the number of cases and calculations needed to give a complete proof is rather large.
Since we will not use these techniques later in the course, we will just sketch a few
sample cases. A complete proof can be found on pages 35-87 of [G].

Claim 6.29. The first claim is that if a curve C is Hilbert stable, then Cred is not
contained in a hyperplane.
If the curve is degenerate, then the map H 0(OPn (1)) � H | https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-727-topics-in-algebraic-geometry-intersection-theory-on-moduli-spaces-spring-2006/06c4e979c3dadcba7d0f3dd69efdb315_const.pdf |
contained in a hyperplane.
If the curve is degenerate, then the map H 0(OPn (1)) � H 0(Cred,
OCred (1)) has non-trivial kernel. Use the filtration that assigns weight −1 to sec
tions vanishing on Cred and weight w > 0 to the others so that the average weight is
0. There exists an integer q such that the q-th power of the ideal sheaf of nilpotents
in OC is zero. Hence no monomial that contains more than q factors of weight
−1 can be zero. Provided we choose m such that (m − q)w > q, every element of
a monomial basis of H 0(C, OC (m)) has positive weight. Hence, C is not Hilbert
semi-stable. From now on we may assume that the linear span of our curves in
Pn . This argument is the blueprint for the other arguments. We will give very few
details for the other ones.
Claim 6.30. The second claim is that every component of C is generically reduced.
Claim 6.31. The third claim is that every singularity of Cred is a double point.
If p is a point of multiplicity 3 or more, the two-step filtration assigning weight
0 to the sections vanishing at p and weight one to the others is destabilizing.
Claim 6.32. Every double point of Cred is a node.
Claim 6.33. H 1(Cred, OC (1)) = 0
Claim 6.34. C is reduced.
From these claims it follows that the first three conditions of the definition of
potential stability hold. The final step is to show that the estimate in (4 | https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-727-topics-in-algebraic-geometry-intersection-theory-on-moduli-spaces-spring-2006/06c4e979c3dadcba7d0f3dd69efdb315_const.pdf |
potential stability hold. The final step is to show that the estimate in (4) holds.
This is done by showing that if not the filtration FC is destabilizing.

Lecture 7: Polarization and Conduction
I. Experimental Observation
A. Fixed Voltage - Switch Closed (v = V o )
As an insulating material enters a free-space capacitor at constant voltage
more charge flows onto the electrodes; i.e. as x increases, i increases.
B. Fixed Charge - Switch open (i=0)
As an insulating material enters a free space capacitor at constant charge,
the voltage decreases; i.e. as x increases, v decreases.
II. Dipole Model of Polarization

18.997 Topics in Combinatorial Optimization
March 4, 2004
Lecture 8
Lecturer: Michel X. Goemans
Scribe: Constantine Caramanis
This lecture covers the proof of the Bessy-Thomass´e Theorem, formerly known as the Gallai
Conjecture. Also, we discuss the cyclic stable set polytope, and show that it is totally dual integral
(TDI) (see lecture 5 for more on TDI systems of inequalities).
1
Recap and Definitions
In this section we provide a brief recap of some definitions we saw in the previous lecture. Also we
answer a question that remained unanswered in the previous lecture regarding the polynomiality of
finding a valid ordering given any strongly connected directed graph.
For a strongly connected digraph D = (V, A), with |V | = n, we make the following definitions.
1. Given an enumeration of the vertices, {v1, . . . , vn}, an arc (vi, vj ) ∈ A is called backward if
i > j and forward if i < j.
2. An ordering O, is an equivalence class of enumerations of a graph. The equivalence class is
defined by the equivalence relations
(a) v1, v2, . . . , vn ∼ v2, v3, . . . , vn, v1,
(b) v1, v2, . . . , vn ∼ v2, v1, v3, . . . , vn, if there is no arc between v1 and v2, i.e., (v1, v2), (v2, v1) /∈
A.
3. Given an ordering O, the index with respect to O of a directed cycle C, denoted iO(C), is
the number of backward arcs in C. Recall from the last lecture that the | https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-997-topics-in-combinatorial-optimization-spring-2004/06d9723de3290adf809e3e61e4dadc8a_co_lec8.pdf |
cycle C, denoted iO(C), is
the number of backward arcs in C. Recall from the last lecture that the index is well defined,
since the index is invariant under the equivalence operations defined above.
4. We say that an ordering O is valid if for any arc (u, v) ∈ A, there exists a cycle C containing
that arc, with index 1: iO (C) = 1. We showed in the last lecture that there always exists a
valid ordering.
5. A cyclic stable set S with respect to a valid ordering O, is such that S is a stable set on
the underlying undirected graph, and also there exists some enumeration {v1, . . . , vn} of the
ordering such that S = {v1, . . . , vk }, where k = |S|.
Last time we proved that any strongly connected digraph has a valid ordering. In fact, given any
such graph, a valid ordering can be found in time polynomial in the size of the graph. Recall that
the proof of the existence theorem showed that the minimizer of
min
O
�
iO(C),
directed cycles C
must be a valid ordering. Given any ordering O, we showed in the proof that in a polynomial number
of steps (essentially, by repeated “local swaps”), if O is not valid, we can obtain a new ordering O1,
reducing the number of arcs for which there are no cycles of index 1 containing them. Therefore we
can find a valid ordering in polynomial time.

2 The Bessy-Thomass´e Theorem
Recall the statement of the theorem.
Theorem 1 Given a strongly connected digraph D = (V, A), and a valid ordering O, if αO denotes
the size of the largest cardinality | https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-997-topics-in-combinatorial-optimization-spring-2004/06d9723de3290adf809e3e61e4dadc8a_co_lec8.pdf |
, A), and a valid ordering O, if αO denotes
the size of the largest cardinality cyclic stable set, then
�
αO = min
iO(Ci),
where the cycles {C1, . . . , Cp} cover the vertex set V .
{C1,...,Cp}
The inequality
αO ≤ min
�
iO(Ci),
{C1,...,Cp}
is straightforward (as each vertex of a cycle stable set must be contained in (at least) one directed
cycle and the corresponding entering arc must be backward), so we consider only the proof of the
reverse inequality.
Before we prove this theorem, we make some remarks. It is important to note that the cyclic
stability number, αO , depends on the ordering O chosen. To illustrate this, recall our digraph on five
vertices from last lecture. In Figure 2, we exhibit two different orderings where the cyclic stability
number is different.

Figure 1: In figure (a) above, the cyclic stability number equals 2, where as in (b), the cyclic stability
number equals 1.
Computing the stability number of a general graph is known to be N P -hard. One of the corollar-
ies of the Bessy-Thomass´e Theorem is that the cyclic stability number can be computed efficiently.

the right hand
This follows because we can can compute the quantity min
side of the theorem above, efficiently. We can do this by formulating a network flow problem that
computes the minimization. To do this, fix an enumeration of the ordering. Attach a cost of 0 to
every forward arc in the digraph under the given enumeration, and a cost of 1 to every backward arc.
Next, split each vertex v into a pair {vout, v
in) with flow capacity
bounded from below by 1. Then for every arc (u, v) in the original graph, draw an arc (uout, vin) in
the network flow graph. Finding a minimum cost flow in this network can be done efficiently, and
it amounts to finding a set of cycles {C1, . . . , Cp} that cover V , and minimize

A key step in the proof of the Bessy-Thomass´e Theorem is a lemma that provides a sufficient
condition for a subset S of vertices to be a cyclic stable set.
8-2
Lemma 2 Given a valid ordering O, fix an enumeration, {v1, . . . , vn}. Let S ⊆ V be a subset of
the vertices. If there are no forward paths between any two vertices of S, then S is a cyclic stable
set.
Suppose, to the contrary, that S has no forward arcs, but S | https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-997-topics-in-combinatorial-optimization-spring-2004/06d9723de3290adf809e3e61e4dadc8a_co_lec8.pdf |
is a cyclic stable
set.
Suppose, to the contrary, that S has no forward arcs, but S is not a cyclic stable. Let vi
Proof:
be the first element of the enumeration in S. If we rotate the enumeration so that vi becomes v1,
no forward paths are either created or destroyed in S, so we may assume, without loss of generality,
that v1 ∈ S. If S is a cyclic stable set with respect to O, then there exists some enumeration of O
for which the elements of S are the first k = |S| elements of the enumeration. Equivalently, there
exists a sequence of local steps, or swaps we can make according to the equivalence relations defining
an ordering, to move from the current enumeration to one of the correct form. If S is not a cyclic
stable set, as we assume, then this is not possible. Consider the enumeration which brings S “as
close as possible” to having all its elements at the beginning of the enumeration, as illustrated in
Figure 2. By this we mean that as many elements of S as possible are listed first in the enumeration,
and furthermore, the first element of S not part of the initial string of elements of S (which we call
S<) is as close to S< as possible. We denote by S< the elements of S that are at the beginning of

element w sandwiched by elements of S.
the enumeration, by S> the remaining elements of S, and by W the elements after the last element
of S< and before the first element of S>, as illustrated in Figure 2. Since there are no forward
paths joining any two elements of S, for any w ∈ W there cannot be a forward path from S< to
w, and a forward path from w to an element of S>. Consider the first w ∈ W where there is no
forward path from S< to w (if there is such a vertex). Because w is assumed to be the first such
vertex, there can be no forward path from any vertex v coming before w in the enumeration. If
there were such a vertex v, then if there were a forward path from S< to v, we would also have a
forward path from S< to w. If there were no forward path from S< to v, it would contradict our
assumption that w is the first vertex in W that has no forward path from S<. In particular, then,
there are no arcs from any vertex before w in the enumeration, to w. However, there also can be
no arc from w to any vertex before | https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-997-topics-in-combinatorial-optimization-spring-2004/06d9723de3290adf809e3e61e4dadc8a_co_lec8.pdf |
, to w. However, there also can be
no arc from w to any vertex before it in the enumeration. This follows because O was assumed to
be a valid ordering. If there were such an arc, say (w, v) for v earlier in the enumeration, because
we assume there are no forward arcs from any vertex coming before w, to w, and that w is the first
such vertex, then any cycle C containing the arc (w, v) must have iO(C) ≥ 2, a contradiction to the
validity of the ordering O. Therefore there are no arcs between w and any vertex previous to w in
the enumeration. But then using the equivalence relations, we can swap w with each element before
it, including then each element of S<. But this contradicts our assumption that the first element of
8-3
S \ S< was as close as possible to S<. Therefore there are no elements in W that have no forward
paths from S. In particular, this implies that there are no forward paths from any w ∈ W to S>.
Then, let vj ∈ S be the first vertex in S>. By assumption, unless W is empty, vj−1 ∈ W , and there
is no forward path from vj−1 to S>, and in particular, (vj−1, vj ) /∈ A. But then, since O is a valid
ordering, (vj , vj−1) /∈ A. In this case, we can swap the two vertices, contradicting our assumption
that our enumeration put S “as close as possible” to having its elements at the beginning of the
�
enumeration. Therefore W must be empty, and S is indeed a cyclic stable set.
We now move to the proof of the B | https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-997-topics-in-combinatorial-optimization-spring-2004/06d9723de3290adf809e3e61e4dadc8a_co_lec8.pdf |
enumeration. Therefore W must be empty, and S is indeed a cyclic stable set.
We now move to the proof of the Bessy-Thomass´e Theorem.
Proof:
The Main Idea: We want to show that the size of the maximum cyclic stable set equals the minimum
total index of a family of cycles covering V . Essentially the proof relies on mapping our digraph D
to a poset T . At this point, we appeal to Dilworth’s Theorem (lecture 6). Recall that the strong
version of Dilworth’s Theorem tells us that the size of the largest antichain in the poset equals
the minimum number of chains needed to partition the elements of the poset. We show that our
maximum size cyclic stable set S in D, corresponds naturally to an antichain in the poset T . Thus
the size of the largest antichain in T is at least the size of S, i.e., αO. Then we use Lemma 2 to
show that any antichain in T corresponds to a cyclic stable set in D. Thus we have that the size of
the largest antichain in T is exactly αO .
Dilworth’s Theorem now links the number of chains partitioning T to αO . The final part of the
proof recovers a covering family of cycles from the chains in T .
The Proof: For the given ordering O, let S = {v1, . . . , vk } denote the maximum size cyclic sta-
ble set, with corresponding enumeration of V = {v1, . . . , vk , . . . , vn}. We note that since S is, in
particular, a stable set, we can permute its elements as we wish within the given ordering.

the given ordering.
(cid:1)
We form an acyclic digraph D(cid:1) = (V (cid:1), A(cid:1)) from D as follows. Let V (cid:1) = {v1, . . . , vn, v1, . . . , vk
(cid:1)
}
(we duplicate the elements of S) so that |V (cid:1)| = n + k. Next, if (v, w) ∈ A is a forward arc, then
(v, w) ∈ A(cid:1). If (w, vi ) ∈ A is a backward arc into a vertex of S (i.e., if vi ∈ S) then (w, vi ) ∈ A(cid:1) .
Note that by our choice of enumeration, any arcs into vi, i ≤ k, must be backward. Therefore the
digraph D(cid:1) is acyclic. It is illustrated in Figure 2.

Figure 3: This figure illustrates the directed acyclic graph D� we obtain from splitting the vertices in S and
drawing arcs as explained above.
In order to use Dilworth’s Theorem, we need to have a poset T . We obtain a poset T from
the acyclic digraph D(cid:1) by considering the transitive closure of D(cid:1) . Since the sets {v1, . . . , vk } and

, . . . , vk } and
8-4
(cid:1)
(cid:1)
{v1, . . . , vk
} have no incoming and outgoing arcs, respectively, they are both antichains in T . This
is also evident from Figure 2. We show that they are in fact maximum size antichains. Consider any
antichain I. As the ordering is valid, for any vertex, there exists a directed cycle of index 1 going
through it. This translates into a chain in the poset going from vi to vi for any 1 ≤ i ≤ k. This
means that an antichain I cannot contain both vi and vi. Let ID be the elements of the original
digraph D corresponding to I.

By renumbering the elements of S (recall that we can permute the elements of S within the
given ordering) we can assume that v1, . . . , v ∈ I, and vl+1, . . . , v ∈ I. Now rotate the enumeration
to obtain {v˜1, . . . , v˜n} so that v˜1 = vl+1. Since I is an antichain, and since the digraph vertices
(cid:1)
{v1, . . . , vl} corresponding to the poset elements {v1, . . . , vl
} at the “top” of the poset T have been
rotated to be the last elements of the enumeration, there are no forward paths between any two
elements of ID . Therefore, by Lemma 2, ID | https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-997-topics-in-combinatorial-optimization-spring-2004/06d9723de3290adf809e3e61e4dadc8a_co_lec8.pdf |
are no forward paths between any two
elements of ID . Therefore, by Lemma 2, ID is a cyclic stable set. Therefore ID , and consequently
I, can have size at most equal to the size of S, that is, αO . We have thus shown that the size of the
largest antichain in T is equal to the cyclic stability number αO of D.
Now consider the minimal partitioning set of chains in the poset T , call these P1, . . . , Pk (where
k = |S| = αO ). Each chain Pi is a chain from vi to vσ(i), for some permutation σ of {1, . . . , k}. By
a slight abuse of notation, we also use Pi to refer to the directed path in D from vi to vσ(i) (or cycle
if σ(i) = i). We note that by construction of T , there is exactly one backward arc in each path Pi,
namely, the last arc to vσ(i). These paths cover the vertex set V . Now, the cycles in the permutation
σ correspond to cycles in D. For example, if (12) is a cycle in σ, i.e., if σ(1) = 2 and σ(2) = 1,
then joining the paths P1 and P2 we have a cycle from v1 to v1. We note that these cycles may in
fact intersect. Since the cycles merely need to cover the vertex set V , distinct cycles can intersect.
We need to take care that the same cycle does not intersect itself. If σ happens to be the identity
permutation, σ(i) = i, then each path is a cycle and cannot intersect itself, and hence the proof is
complete. If this is not the case, then a cycle in D obtained by | https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-997-topics-in-combinatorial-optimization-spring-2004/06d9723de3290adf809e3e61e4dadc8a_co_lec8.pdf |
proof is
complete. If this is not the case, then a cycle in D obtained by joining together the paths Pi that
correspond to a cycle of σ may in fact intersect itself. Suppose that i and j are in the same cycle
of σ and the paths Pi and Pj intersect, in say v. We can then replace the paths Pi and Pj by two
other paths P (cid:1) and Pj
(cid:1) (obtained by switching from one to the other at v) which together cover the
same vertices and which corresponds to a new permutation σ(cid:1) with σ(cid:1)(i) = σ(j) and σ(cid:1)(j) = σ(i).
Now the number of cycles in the permutation has increased by one, and we can repeat this process
until no cycle in D (corresponding to each cycle of teh permutation σ) intersects itself.
i
Since the cycle splitting procedure does not change the total index of the cycles, we know that
the total index equals the minimal number of chains required to partition T . But by above, this is
exactly the size of the maximum cyclic stable set, and therefore

3 Cyclic Stable Set Polytope
In this section, we follow some recent (unpublished) work of A. Seb¨o, and define the cyclic stable
set polytope of a strongly connected graph D, with a given valid ordering O. Define the polytope
P as follows.

.
We show in this section that the polytope P is totally dual integral (TDI) (see lecture 5 for more
on TDI system of inequalities).
Given a cyclic stable set S (cyclic stable with respect to the given ordering), let xS denote its
incidence vector, i.e., xv = 1 if v ∈ S, and 0 otherwise. Then in fact xS ∈ P. Indeed, consider any
S
8-5
directed cycle C. Since S is cyclic stable, C always enters S via a backward arc, and therefore the
number of backward arcs of C is at least the cardinality of its intersection with S:
(# backward arcs in C) = iO(C) ≥ |C ∩ S|,
or, equivalently, xS (C) ≤ iO(C).
Since we have shown that the incidence vector of every cyclic stable set belongs to P, we have:

has an integral solution whenever its value is finite. We note that we have just proved this statement
for the special case wv = 1. We note also that if we have wv ≤ 0, we can replace this wv by 0
without affecting the feasible region of the dual linear program. Therefore, we can assume that we
have wv ∈ Z+.
We now construct a strongly connected digraph D(cid:1) = (V (cid:1), A(cid:1)), with valid ordering O(cid:1) as follows.
Let V (cid:1) consist of wv copies of each xv , {xv,1, . . . , xv,wv } (recall that wv is a positive integer). If
(v, u) ∈ A, then (xv,i, xu,j ) ∈ A(cid:1) for every i ≤ wv and j ≤ wu. From our reasoning above, we
know that the linear program associated to the digraph D(cid | https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-997-topics-in-combinatorial-optimization-spring-2004/06d9723de3290adf809e3e61e4dadc8a_co_lec8.pdf |
≤ wu. From our reasoning above, we
know that the linear program associated to the digraph D(cid:1) (now we have wv = 1 for every v ∈ V (cid:1))
produces an integral solution that corresponds to a maximum size cyclic stable set in D(cid:1). Note that
if xv,i is in the stable set S(cid:1) for D(cid:1), then we can also take xv,j to be in S(cid:1) for any j ≤ wv . Therefore
any maximum size cyclic stable set S(cid:1) in D(cid:1) naturally corresponds to a cyclic stable set S in D.
Moreover, |S(cid:1)| = w xS . Conversely, if S is a cyclic stable set in D, then the set S(cid:1) of all copies of
the vertices in S, is a cyclic stable set in D(cid:1), with |S(cid:1)| = w xS . Therefore given any vector w with
wv ∈ Z+, the linear program with objective function w x has an integral optimal solution. Therefore
P is totally dual integral, as we wished to show.

This section of notes discusses some of the fundamental processes involved in electric machinery.
In the section on energy conversion processes we examine the two major ways of estimating elec-
tromagnetic forces: those involving thermodynamic arguments (conservation of energy) and field
methods (Maxwell’s Stress Tensor). But first it is appropriate to introduce the topic by describing
a notional rotating electric machine.
Electric machinery comes in many different types and a strikingly broad range of sizes, from
those little machines that cause cell ’phones and pagers to vibrate (yes, those are rotating electric
machines) to turbine generators with ratings upwards of a Gigawatt. Most of the machines with
which we are familiar are rotating, but linear electric motors are widely used, from shuttle drives in
weaving machines to equipment handling and amusement park rides. Currently under development
are large linear induction machines to be used to launch aircraft. It is our purpose in this subject
to develop an analytical basis for understanding how all of these different machines work. We start,
however, with a picture of perhaps the most common of electric machines.
2 Electric Machine Description:
Figure 1 is a cartoon drawing of a conventional induction motor. This is a very common type
of electric machine and will serve as a reference point. Most other electric machines operate in
1
a fashion which is the same as the induction machine or which differ in ways which are easy to
reference to the induction machine.
Most (but not all!) machines we will be studying have essentially this morphology. The rotor
of the machine is mounted on a shaft which is supported on some sort of bearing(s). Usually, but
not always, the rotor is inside. I have drawn a rotor which is round, but this does not need to be
the case. I have also indicated rotor conductors, but sometimes the rotor has permanent magnets
either fastened to it or inside, and sometimes (as in Variable Reluctance Machines) | https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-685-electric-machines-fall-2013/06deccf046b565a8295e5ada36b252df_MIT6_685F13_chapter1.pdf |
indicated rotor conductors, but sometimes the rotor has permanent magnets
either fastened to it or inside, and sometimes (as in Variable Reluctance Machines) it is just an
oddly shaped piece of steel. The stator is, in this drawing, on the outside and has windings. With
most of the machines we will be dealing with, the stator winding is the armature, or electrical
power input element. (In DC and Universal motors this is reversed, with the armature contained
on the rotor: we will deal with these later).
In most electrical machines the rotor and the stator are made of highly magnetically permeable
materials: steel or magnetic iron. In many common machines such as induction motors the rotor
and stator are both made up of thin sheets of silicon steel. Punched into those sheets are slots
which contain the rotor and stator conductors.
Figure 2 is a picture of part of an induction machine distorted so that the air-gap is straightened
out (as if the machine had infinite radius). This is actually a convenient way of drawing the machine
and, we will find, leads to useful methods of analysis.

What is important to note for now is that the machine has an air gap g which is relatively
small (that is, the gap dimension is much less than the machine radius r). The air-gap also has a
physical length l. The electric machine works by producing a shear stress in the air-gap (with of
course side effects such as production of “back voltage”). It is possible to define the average air-
gap shear stress, which we will refer to as τ . Total developed torque is force over the surface area
times moment (which is rotor radius):
T = 2πr2ℓ < τ >
Power transferred by this device is just torque times speed, which is the same as force times
2
surface velocity, since surface velocity is u = rΩ:
Pm = ΩT = 2πrℓ < τ > u
If we note that active rotor volume is , the ratio of torque to volume is just:
T
Vr
= 2 < τ >
Now, determining what can be done in a volume of machine involves two things. First, | https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-685-electric-machines-fall-2013/06deccf046b565a8295e5ada36b252df_MIT6_685F13_chapter1.pdf |
is just:
T
Vr
= 2 < τ >
Now, determining what can be done in a volume of machine involves two things. First, it is
clear that the volume we have calculated here is not the whole machine volume, since it does not
include the stator. The actual estimate of total machine volume from the rotor volume is actually
quite complex and detailed and we will leave that one for later. Second, we need to estimate the
value of the useful average shear stress. Suppose both the radial flux density Br and the stator
surface current density Kz are sinusoidal flux waves of the form:
Br = √2B0 cos (pθ
Kz = √2K0 cos (pθ
ωt)
ωt)

−
Note that this assumes these two quantities are exactly in phase, or oriented to ideally produce
torque, so we are going to get an “optimistic” bound here. Then the average value of surface
traction is:
< τ >=
BrKzdθ = B0K0
2π
1
2π 0
Z
The magnetic flux density that can be developed is limited by the characteristics of the magnetic
materials (iron) used. Current densities are a function of technology and are typically limited by
how much effort can be put into cooling and the temperature limits of insulating materials.
In
practice, the range of shear stress encountered in electric machinery technology is not terribly
broad: ranging from a few kPa in smaller machines to about 100 kPa in very large, well cooled
machines.
It is usually said that electric machines are torque producing devices, meaning tht they are
defined by this shear stress mechanism and by physical dimensions. Since power is torque times
rotational speed, high power density machines necessarily will have high shaft speeds. Of course
there are limits on rotational speed as well, arising from centrifugal forces which limit tip velocity.
Our first step in understanding how electric machinery works is to understand the mechanisms
which produce forces of electromagnetic origin.
3 Energy Conversion Process:
In a motor the energy conversion process can be thought of in simple terms. In “steady state”,
electric power input to the machine is just the sum of electric power inputs to the different phase
terminals:
Mechanical power is torque times speed:

And the sum of the losses is the difference:

It will sometimes be convenient to employ the fact that, in most machines, dissipation is small
enough to approximate mechanical power with electrical power. In fact, there are many situations in
which the loss mechanism is known well enough that it can be idealized away. The “thermodynamic”
arguments for force density take advantage of this and employ a “conservative” or lossless energy
conversion system.

Figure 4: Conservative Magnetic Field System
To start, consider some electromechanical system which has two sets of “terminals”, electrical
and mechanical, as shown in Figure 4. If the system stores energy in magnetic fields, the energy
stored depends on the state of the system, defined by (in this case) two of the identifiable variables:
flux (λ), current (i) and mechanical position (x). In fact, with only a little reflection, you should
be able to convince yourself that this state is a single-valued function of two variables and that the
energy stored is independent of how the system was brought to this state.
Now, all electromechanical converters have loss mechanisms and so are not themselves conser-
vative. However, the magnetic field system that produces force is, in principle, conservative in the
4
sense that its state and stored energy can be described by only two variables. The “history” of the
system is not important.
It is possible to chose the variables in such a way that electrical power into this conservative
system is:
P e
= vi = i
dλ
dt
Similarly, mechanical power out of the system is:
P m = f e dx
dt
The difference between these two is the rate of change of energy stored in the system | https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-685-electric-machines-fall-2013/06deccf046b565a8295e5ada36b252df_MIT6_685F13_chapter1.pdf |
is:
P m = f e dx
dt
The difference between these two is the rate of change of energy stored in the system:
dWm = P e

−
P m
It is then possible to compute the change in energy required to take the system from one state to
another by:

Wm(b) =

where the two states of the system are described by a = (λa, xa) and b = (λb, xb)

If the energy stored in the system is described by two state variables, λ and x, the total
differential of stored energy is:
and it is also:

∂Wm
∂λ

∂x
dx
dWm = idλ
f edx
−
So that we can make a direct equivalence between the derivatives and:
f e

−
In the case of rotary, as opposed to linear, motion, torque T e takes the place of force f e and
angular displacement θ takes the place of linear displacement x. Note that the product of torque
and angle has the same units as the product of force and distance (both have units of work, which
in the International System of units is Newton-meters or Joules.
In many cases we might consider a system which is electricaly linear, in which case inductance
is a function only of the mechanical position x.
In this case, assuming that the energy integral is carried out from λ = 0 (so that the part of the
integral carried out over x is zero),
λ(x) = L(x)i

Note that this is numerically equivalent to

This is true only in the case of a linear system. Note that substituting L(x)i = λ too early in the
derivation produces erroneous results: in the case of a linear system it produces a sign error, but
in | https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-685-electric-machines-fall-2013/06deccf046b565a8295e5ada36b252df_MIT6_685F13_chapter1.pdf |
L(x)i = λ too early in the
derivation produces erroneous results: in the case of a linear system it produces a sign error, but
in the case of a nonlinear system it is just wrong.
3.1.1 Example: simple solenoid
Consider the magnetic actuator shown in cartoon form in Figure 5. The actuator consists of
a circular rod of ferromagnetic material (very highly permeable) that can move axially (the x-
direction) inside of a stationary piece, also made of highly permeable material. A coil of N turns
carries a current I. The rod has a radius R and spacing from the flat end of the stator is the
variable dimension x. At the other end there is a radial clearance between the rod and the stator
g. Assume g
R. If the axial length of the radial gaps is ℓ = R/2, the area of the radial gaps is
the same as the area of the gap between the rod and the stator at the variable gap.

The force is ‘negative’ in the sense that it tends to reduce x, or to close the gap.
3.1.2 Multiply Excited Systems
There may be (and in most electric machine applications there will be) more than one source of
electrical excitation (more than one coil). In such systems we may write the conservation of energy
expression as:
dWm =
ikdλk
k
X
f edx
−
which simply suggests that electrical input to the magnetic field energy storage is the sum (in this
case over the index k) of inputs from each of the coils. To find the total energy stored in the
system it is necessary to integrate over all of the coils (which may and in general will have mutual
inductance).
Of course, if the system is conservative, Wm(λ1, λ2, . . . , x) is uniquely specified and so the actual
path taken in carrying out this integral will not affect the value of the resulting energy.
Wm =

3.1.3 Coenergy
We often will describe systems in terms of inductance rather than its reciprocal, so that current,
rather than flux, appears to be the relevant variable.
It is convenient to derive a new energy
variable, which we will call co-energy, by:
W

Consider a simple electric machine as pictured in Figure 6 in which there is a single winding
on a rotor (call it the field winding and a polyphase armature with three identical coils spaced at
uniform locations about the periphery. We can describe the flux linkages as:
λa = Laia + Labib + Labic + M cos(pθ)if

It is assumed that the flux linkages are sinusoidal functions of rotor position. As it turns out,
many electrical machines work best (by many criteria such as smoothness of torque production)
8
if this is the case, so that techniques have been developed to make those flux linkages very nearly
sinusoidal. We will see some of these techniques in later chapters of these notes. For the moment,
we will simply assume these dependencies. In addition, we assume that the rotor is magnetically
’round’, which means the stator self inductances and the stator phase to phase mutual inductances
are not functions of rotor position. Note that if the phase windings are identical (except for their
If there are three uniformly spaced
angular position), they will have identical self inductances.
windings the phase-phase mutual inductances will all be the same.
Now, this system can be simply described in terms of coenergy. With multiple excitation it
is important to exercise some care in taking the coenergy integral (to ensure that it is taken over

is important to exercise some care in taking the coenergy integral (to ensure that it is taken over
a valid path in the multi-dimensional space). In our case there are actually five dimensions, but
only four are important since we can position the rotor with all currents at zero so there is no
contribution to coenergy from setting rotor position. Suppose the rotor is at some angle θ and that
the four currents have values ia0, ib0, ic0 and if 0. One of many correct path integrals to take would

up actual operation of such machines later.
4 Field Descriptions: Continuous Media
While a basic understanding of electromechanical devices is possible using the lumped parameter
approach and the principle of virtual work as described in the previous section, many phenomena in
electric machines require a more detailed understanding which is afforded by a continuum approach.
In this section we consider a fields-based approach to energy flow using Poynting’s Theorem and
then a fields based description of forces using the Maxwell Stress Tensor. These techniques will
both be useful in further analysis of what happens in electric machines.

In the last step we used the fact that in a scalar triple product the order of the scalar (dot)

This is the Lorentz Force Law, which describes the interaction of current with magnetic field
to produce force. It is not, however, the complete story of force production in electromechanical
systems. As we learned earlier, changes in geometry which affect magnetic stored energy can also
produce force. Fortunately, a complete description of electromechanical force is possible using only
magnetic fields and that is the topic of our next section.
4.2 Field Description of Forces: Maxwell Stress Tensor
Forces of electromagnetic origin, because they are transferred by electric and magnetic fields, are
the result of those fields and may be calculated once the fields are known. In fact, if a surface can
be established that fully encases a material body, the force on that body can be shown to be the
integral of force density, or traction over that surface.
The traction τ derived by taking the cross product of surface current density and flux density
on the air-gap surface of a machine (above) actually makes sense in view of the empirically derived
Lorentz Force Law: Given a (vector) current density and a (vector) flux density. This is actually
enough to describe the forces we see in many machines, but since electric machines have permeable
magnetic material and since magnetic fields produce forces on permeable material even in the
absence of macroscopic currents it is necessary to observe how force appears on such material. A
suitable empirical expression for force density is:
where H is the magnetic field intensity and µ is the permeability.

The interpretation of all of this is less difficult than the notation suggests. This field description
of forces gives us a simple picture of surface traction, the force per unit area on a surface. If we
just integrate this traction over the area of some body we get the whole force on the body.
Note one more thing about this notation. Sometimes when subscripts are repeated as they are
here the summation symbol is omitted. Thus we would write τi =
k Tiknk = Tiknk.
4.3 Example: Linear Induction Machine
P
Figure 7 shows a highly simplified picture of a single sided linear induction motor. This is not how
most linear induction machines are actually built, but it is possible to show through symmetry
arguments that the analysis we can carry out here is actually valid for other machines of this class.
This machine consists of a stator (the upper surface) which is represented as a surface current on
the surface of a highly permeable region. The moving element consists of a thin layer of conducting
material on the surface of a highly permeable region. The moving element (or ’shuttle’) has a
velocity u with respect to the stator and that motion is in the x direction. The stator surface
current density is assumed to be:

Note that we are ignoring some important effects, such as those arising from finite length of the
stator and of the shuttle. Such effects can be quite important, but we will leave those until later,
as they are what make linear motors interesting.

shows what we already suspected: the electromagnetic power flow from the stator is the
force density on the shuttle times the wave velocity. The electromagnetic ower flow into the shuttle
is the same force density times the ’slip’ velocity. The difference between these two is the power
converted to mechanical form and it is the force density times the shuttle velocity.
4.4 Rotating Machines
The use of this formulation in rotating machines is a bit tricky because, at lest formally, directional
vectors must have constant identity if an integral of forces is to become a total force. In cylindrical
coordinates, of course, the directional vectors are not of constant identity. However, with care and
understanding of the direction of traction and how it is integrated we can make use of the MST
approach in rotating electric machines.
Now, if we go back to the case of a circular cylinder and are interested in torque, it is pretty
clear that we can compute the circumferential force by noting that the normal vector to the cylinder
is just the radial unit vector, and then the circumferential traction must simply be:
τθ = µ0HrHθ
Assuming that there are no fluxes inside the surface of the rotor, simply integrating this over
the surface gives azimuthal force. In principal this is the same as surrounding the surface of the
rotor by a continuum of infinitely small boxes, one surface just outside the rotor and with a normal
facing outward, the other surface just inside with normal facing inward. (Of course the MST is
zero on this inner surface). Then multiplying by radius (moment arm) gives torque. The last step
is to note that, if the rotor is made of highly permeable material, the azimuthal magnetic field just
outside the rotor is equal to surface current density.

5 Generalization to Continuous Media
Now, consider a system with not just a multiplicity of circuits but a continuum of current-carrying
paths. In that case we could identify the co-energy as:
W

m =

·
area
Z
where that area is chosen to cut all of the current carrying conductors. This area can be picked to
be perpedicular to each of the current filaments since the divergence of current is zero. The flux λ | https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-685-electric-machines-fall-2013/06deccf046b565a8295e5ada36b252df_MIT6_685F13_chapter1.pdf |
can be picked to
be perpedicular to each of the current filaments since the divergence of current is zero. The flux λ
is calculated over a path that coincides with each current filament (such paths exist since current
has zero divergence). Then the flux is:
Z
Now, if we use the vector potential A for which the magnetic flux density is:
~
λ(~a) =

the flux linked by any one of the current filaments is:

Permanent magnets are becoming an even more important element in electric machine systems.
Often systems with permanent magnets are approached in a relatively ad-hoc way, made equivalent
to a current that produces the same MMF as the magnet itself.
The constitutive relationship for a permanent magnet relates the magnetic flux density B to
~
magnetic field H and the property of the magnet itself, the magnetization M .

2 General results of representation theory
2.1 Subrepresentations in semisimple representations
Let A be an algebra.
Definition 2.1. A semisimple (or completely reducible) representation of A is a direct sum of
irreducible representations.
Example. Let V be an irreducible representation of A of dimension n. Then Y = End(V ),
with action of A by left multiplication, is a semisimple representation of A, isomorphic to nV (the
direct sum of n copies of V ). Indeed, any basis v1, ..., vn of V gives rise to an isomorphism of
representations End(V )
nV , given by x
(xv1, ..., xvn).
⊃
⊃
Remark. Note that by Schur’s lemma, any semisimple representation V of A is canonically
X, where X runs over all irreducible representations of A. Indeed,
Hom(X, V ),
x
identified with
we have a natural map f :
and it is easy to verify that this map is an isomorphism.

i=1 ni. The base of induction (n = 1) is clear. To perform
Proof. The proof is
the induction step, let us assume that W is nonzero, and fix an irreducible subrepresentation
W . Such P exists (Problem 1.20). 2 Now, by Schur’s lemma, P is isomorphic to Vi for some i,

Now note that the group Gi = GLni (k) of invertible ni-by-ni matrices over k acts on niVi
(v1, ..., vni )gi (and by the identity on njVj , j = i), and therefore acts on the
by (v1, ..., vni )
set of subrepresentations of V , preserving the property we need to establish: namely, under the
action of gi, the matrix Xi goes to Xigi, while Xj , j = i don’t change. | https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-712-introduction-to-representation-theory-fall-2010/0721b66f53c3c196ce86d6d867514442_MIT18_712F10_ch2.pdf |
the matrix Xi goes to Xigi, while Xj , j = i don’t change. Take gi
Gi such that
(q1, ..., qni )gi = (1, 0, ..., 0). Then W gi contains the first summand Vi of niVi (namely, it is P gi),
hence W gi = Vi
nmVm is the kernel of the projection
−
of W gi to the first summand Vi along the other summands. Thus the required statement follows
from the induction assumption.
W �, where W � →

Remark 2.3. In Proposition 2.2, it is not important that k is algebraically closed, nor it matters
that V is finite dimensional. If these assumptions are dropped, the only change needed is that the
entries of the matrix Xi are no longer in k but in Di = EndA(Vi), which is, as we know, a division
algebra. The proof of this generalized version of Proposition 2.2 is the same as before (check it!).
2Another proof of the existence of P , which does not use the finite dimensionality of V , is by induction in n.
Namely, if W itself is not irreducible, let K be the kernel of the projection of W to the first summand V1. Then
K is a subrepresentation of (n1 − 1)V1 � ... � nmVm, which is nonzero since W is not irreducible, so K contains an
irreducible subrepresentation by the induction assumption.
