– The normal cone of Y in X is defined by<br />
C Y |X := Specm Y<br />
(<br />
⊕k≥0 I k /I k+1) N Y |X<br />
Y<br />
An easiest definition of the tangent bundle to an algebraic variety X is that it is the normal cone to<br />
the diagonal X ↩→ ∆<br />
X ×X. These are functorial objects since f : X −→ Y , f ×f : X ×X −→ Y ×Y ,<br />
so T f : T X −→ T Y . And it coincides with d x f : T x X −→ T f(x) Y , for every x ∈ X.<br />
– We say that x ∈ X is a smooth point if C x (X) = T x X, and X is smooth (non-singular) if all<br />
points are.<br />
(II) The cotangent sheaf to X is defined as the conormal sheaf to the diagonal in X ×X. Its local sections<br />
are local forms on T X and such a form d gives a map<br />
M x /M 2 x<br />
where Ω ′ X = { differential on O X}.<br />
∼<br />
−→ Ω ′ X(x) := Ω ′ X,x/(Ω ′ X,x ⊗ M x )<br />
(III) Blowing up a subscheme: Let I ↩→ O X be an ideal sheaf defining a subscheme Y ↩→ X, A =<br />
⊕ k>0 I k . Then σ : ˜X = proj(A) −→ X is called the blow up of X along Y , where proj(A) =<br />
Specm(homogeneous decomposition of A). By functoriality, σ −1 (Y ) is the projection of the algebra<br />
A ⊗ OX O Y = ⊕ k≥0 I k /I k+1 , i.e., σ −1 (Y ) −→ Y is the projectivization of the normal cone C Y |N , i.e.,<br />
0 = ⊗O X .<br />
Definition 4.1.10. A sheaf is torsion free is ⊗O X = 0, i.e., it is supported on a subvariety.<br />
Fact 4.1.2.<br />
• Any torsion free O X -module F admits a resolution, i.e., a birational morphism σ : Y −→ X such that<br />
σ ∗ F is locally free.<br />
• (Hironaka) Any variety X (any rational map X −→ Y ) admits a resolution of singularities by repeatedly<br />
blow ups along smooth centres (i.e., smooth subvariety)<br />
