On Factoriality of Cox Rings
نویسنده
چکیده
Generalized Cox’s construction associates with an algebraic variety a remarkable invariant – its total coordinate ring, or Cox ring. In this note we give a new proof of factoriality of the Cox ring when the divisor class group of the variety is finitely generated and free. The proof is based on a notion of graded factoriality. We show that if the divisor class group has torsion, then the Cox ring is again factorially graded, but factoriality may be lost.

Equivariant total ring of fractions and factoriality of rings generated by semiinvariants
Let F be an affine flat group scheme over a commutative ring R, and S an F -algebra (an R-algebra on which F acts). We define an equivariant analogue QF (S) of the total ring of fractions Q(S) of S. It is the largest F -algebra T such that S ⊂ T ⊂ Q(S), and S is an F -subalgebra of T . We study some basic properties. Utilizing this machinery, we give some new criteria for factoriality (UFD prop...

We prove the Q-factoriality of a nodal hypersurface in P of degree n with at most (n−1) 2 4 nodes and the Q-factoriality of a double cover of P 3 branched over a nodal surface of degree 2r with at most (2r−1)r 3 nodes.

We study Cox rings of K3-surfaces. A first result is that a K3surface has a finitely generated Cox ring if and only if its effective cone is rational polyhedral. Moreover, we investigate degrees of generators and relations for Cox rings of K3-surfaces of Picard number two, and explicitly compute the Cox rings of generic K3-surfaces with a non-symplectic involution that have Picard number 2 to 5...
متن کاملCox rings of K3 surfaces with Picard number two
We study presentations of Cox rings of K3 surfaces of Picard number two. In particular we consider the Cox rings of classical examples of K3 surfaces, such as quartic surfaces containing a line and doubly elliptic K3 surfaces.
متن کاملFactorial Nodal Threefolds in P 5
In this paper we study a 3-fold X ⊂ P that is a complete intersection of two hypersurfaces Fn and Gk of degree n and k respectively such that n ≥ k and the only singularities of X are ordinary double points. The 3-fold X is called factorial if every surface in X is cut by a hypersurface in P. The factoriality of the 3-fold X is equivalent to a global topological condition rkH4(X,Z) = 1, which f...
