In mathematics, especially algebraic geometry, the decomposition theorem of Beilinson, Bernstein, Deligne and Gabber or BBDG decomposition theorem is a set of results concerning the cohomology of algebraic varieties. It was originally conjectured by Gelfand and MacPherson.[1]
Decomposition for smooth proper maps[edit]The first case of the decomposition theorem arises via the hard Lefschetz theorem which gives isomorphisms, for a smooth proper map f : X → Y {\displaystyle f:X\to Y} of relative dimension d between two projective varieties[2]
Here η {\displaystyle \eta } is the fundamental class of a hyperplane section, f ∗ {\displaystyle f_{*}} is the direct image (pushforward) and R n f ∗ {\displaystyle R^{n}f_{*}} is the n-th derived functor of the direct image. This derived functor measures the n-th cohomologies of f − 1 ( U ) {\displaystyle f^{-1}(U)} , for U ⊂ Y {\displaystyle U\subset Y} . In fact, the particular case when Y is a point, amounts to the isomorphism
This hard Lefschetz isomorphism induces canonical isomorphisms
Moreover, the sheaves R d + i f ∗ Q {\displaystyle R^{d+i}f_{*}\mathbb {Q} } appearing in this decomposition are local systems, i.e., locally free sheaves of Q-vector spaces, which are moreover semisimple, i.e., a direct sum of local systems without nontrivial local subsystems.
Decomposition for proper maps[edit]The decomposition theorem generalizes this fact to the case of a proper, but not necessarily smooth map f : X → Y {\displaystyle f:X\to Y} between varieties. In a nutshell, the results above remain true when the notion of local systems is replaced by perverse sheaves.
The hard Lefschetz theorem above takes the following form:[3][4] there is an isomorphism in the derived category of sheaves on Y:
where R f ∗ {\displaystyle Rf_{*}} is the total derived functor of f ∗ {\displaystyle f_{*}} and p H i {\displaystyle {}^{p}H^{i}} is the i-th truncation with respect to the perverse t-structure.
Moreover, there is an isomorphism
where the summands are semi-simple perverse-sheaves, meaning they are direct sums of push-forwards of intersection cohomology sheaves.[5]
If X is not smooth, then the above results remain true when Q [ dim X ] {\displaystyle \mathbb {Q} [\dim X]} is replaced by the intersection cohomology complex I C {\displaystyle IC} .[3]
The decomposition theorem was first proved by Beilinson, Bernstein, Deligne and Gabber.[6] Their proof is based on the usage of weights on l-adic sheaves in positive characteristic. A different proof using mixed Hodge modules was given by Saito. A more geometric proof, based on the notion of semismall maps was given by de Cataldo and Migliorini.[7]
For semismall maps, the decomposition theorem also applies to Chow motives.[8]
Applications of the theorem[edit] Cohomology of a Rational Lefschetz Pencil[edit]Consider a rational morphism f : X → P 1 {\displaystyle f:X\rightarrow \mathbb {P} ^{1}} from a smooth quasi-projective variety given by [ f 1 ( x ) : f 2 ( x ) ] {\displaystyle [f_{1}(x):f_{2}(x)]} . If we set the vanishing locus of f 1 , f 2 {\displaystyle f_{1},f_{2}} as Y {\displaystyle Y} then there is an induced morphism X ~ = B l Y ( X ) → P 1 {\displaystyle {\tilde {X}}=Bl_{Y}(X)\to \mathbb {P} ^{1}} . We can compute the cohomology of X {\displaystyle X} from the intersection cohomology of B l Y ( X ) {\displaystyle Bl_{Y}(X)} and subtracting off the cohomology from the blowup along Y {\displaystyle Y} . This can be done using the perverse spectral sequence
Let f : X → Y {\displaystyle f:X\to Y} be a proper morphism between complex algebraic varieties such that X {\displaystyle X} is smooth. Also, let y 0 {\displaystyle y_{0}} be a regular value of f {\displaystyle f} that is in an open ball B centered at y {\displaystyle y} . Then the restriction map
is surjective, where π 1 , loc {\displaystyle \pi _{1,{\textrm {loc}}}} is the fundamental group of the intersection of B {\displaystyle B} with the set of regular values of f.[9]
