Factorization, Fibration and Torsion

چکیده
A simple definition of torsion theory is presented, as a factorization system with both classes satisfying the 3–for–2 property. Comparisons with the traditional notion are given, as well as connections with the notions of fibration and of weak factorization system, as used in abstract homotopy theory.

From torsion theories to closure operators and factorization systems
Torsion theories are here extended to categories equipped with an ideal of 'null morphisms', or equivalently a full subcategory of 'null objects'. Instances of this extension include closure operators viewed as generalised torsion theories in a 'category of pairs', and factorization systems viewed as torsion theories in a category of morphisms. The first point has essentially been treated in [15].
متن کاملTranscendental Brauer Elements via Descent on Elliptic Surfaces
Transcendental Brauer elements are notoriously difficult to compute. Work of Wittenberg, and later, Ieronymou, gives a method for computing 2-torsion transcendental classes on surfaces that have a genus 1 fibration with rational 2-torsion in the Jacobian fibration. We use ideas from a descent paper of Poonen and Schaefer to remove this assumption on the rational 2-torsion.
متن کاملInert Module Extensions, Multiplicatively Closed Subsets Conserving Cyclic Submodules and Factorization in Modules
Introduction Suppose that is a commutative ring with identity, is a unitary -module and is a multiplicatively closed subset of . Factorization theory in commutative rings, which has a long history, still gets the attention of many researchers. Although at first, the focus of this theory was factorization properties of elements in integral domains, in the late nineties the theory was gener...
متن کاملElliptic K3 Surfaces with Abelian and Dihedral Groups of Symplectic Automorphisms
We analyze K3 surfaces admitting an elliptic fibration E and a finite group G of symplectic automorphisms preserving this elliptic fibration. We construct the quotient elliptic fibration E/G comparing its properties to the ones of E. We show that if E admits an n-torsion section, its quotient by the group of automorphisms induced by this section admits again an n-torsion section. Considering au...
متن کاملSome Remarks on Brauer Groups of K3 Surfaces
We discuss the geometry of the genus one fibrations associated to an elliptic fibration on a K3 surface. We show that the two-torsion subgroup of the Brauer group of a general elliptic fibration is naturally isomorphic to the two-torsion of the Jacobian of a curve associated to the fibration. We remark that this is related to Recillas’ trigonal construction. Finally we discuss the two-torsion i...
