Formally, a rational map: between two varieties is an equivalence class of pairs (,) in which is a morphism of varieties from a non-empty open set to , and two such pairs (,) and (′ ′, ′) are considered equivalent if and ′ ′ coincide on the intersection ′ (this is, in particular, vacuously true if the intersection is empty, but since is assumed irreducible, this is impossible).
A birational map from X to Y is a rational map f : X ⇢ Y such that there is a rational map Y ⇢ X inverse to f.A birational map induces an isomorphism from a nonempty open subset of X to a nonempty open subset of Y, and vice versa: an isomorphism between nonempty open subsets of X, Y by definition gives a birational map f : X ⇢ Y.
If X is a smooth complete curve (for example, P 1) and if f is a rational map from X to a projective space P m, then f is a regular map X → P m. [5] In particular, when X is a smooth complete curve, any rational function on X may be viewed as a morphism X → P 1 and, conversely, such a morphism as a rational function on X.
For example, consider an address book entry that represents a single person along with zero or more phone numbers and zero or more addresses. This could be modeled in an object-oriented implementation by a "Person object " with an attribute/field to hold each data item that the entry comprises: the person's name, a list of phone numbers, and a ...
There has been extensive research on the Fatou set and Julia set of iterated rational functions, known as rational maps. For example, it is known that the Fatou set of a rational map has either 0, 1, 2 or infinitely many components. [3] Each component of the Fatou set of a rational map can be classified into one of four different classes. [4]
Quotient surfaces, surfaces that are constructed as the orbit space of some other surface by the action of a finite group; examples include Kummer, Godeaux, Hopf, and Inoue surfaces; Zariski surfaces, surfaces in finite characteristic that admit a purely inseparable dominant rational map from the projective plane
Lüroth's problem concerns subextensions L of K(X), the rational functions in the single indeterminate X. Any such field is either equal to K or is also rational, i.e. L = K(F) for some rational function F. In geometrical terms this states that a non-constant rational map from the projective line to a curve C can only occur when C also has genus 0.
An example is given by the map from the affine plane A 2 to the conical singularity x 2 + y 2 = z 2 taking (X,Y) to (2XY, X 2 − Y 2, X 2 + Y 2). The XY -plane is already nonsingular so should not be changed by resolution, and any resolution of the conical singularity factorizes through the minimal resolution given by blowing up the singular ...
