Trying to understand morphisms between varieties












2












$begingroup$


Let $k_1, k_2, k_0 in mathbb{N}$.
If $k_1 = k_2 = k_0$ then the map
which sends $[x_0:x_1:x_2] in mathbb{P}^2$ to $[x_0^{k_0}:x_1^{k_1}:x_2^{k_2}] in mathbb{P}^2$ is well defined, but
it's not well defined if all of the $k_i$'s are not the same.



(My understnading of morphisms between projective varieties:
$varphi: V to W$ is a map between projective varieties $V subset mathbb{P}^n$ and $W subset mathbb{P}^m$ given by $varphi([x_0 : ldots : x_n]) = [varphi_0([x_0 : ldots : x_n]): ldots : varphi_m([x_0 : ldots : x_n])]$, where the $varphi_i$ are homogeneous polynomials of the same degree that don't vanish simultaneously at any point of $V$.)



I was just wondering when not all of the $k_i$'s are equal, does the map 'make sense' if I change the domain to affine space?
i.e. if I define a map from $mathbb{A}^3 backslash { mathbf{0} }$ to $mathbb{P}^2$ by $(x_0, x_1, x_2) rightarrow [x_0^{k_0}:x_1^{k_1}:x_2^{k_2} ]$, is this just a weird map that sends of $mathbb{A}^3 backslash { mathbf{0} }$ to $mathbb{P}^2$? or does this become a morphism in an appropriate category (something that generalizes affine varieties and projective varities maybe?) Any comments would be appreciated. Thank you.



ps for simplicity I'm only thinking the affine space and the projective space over $mathbb{C}$

    The map as you define from affine space outside zero is indeed a morphism. The map you define can also be interpreted as a morphism of weighted projective spaces.

You can consider the affine map $(x,y,z)mapsto (x^a,y^b,z^c)$ from $mathbb{A}^3-{0}$ to itself. (Observe that this map does not contain $0$ in its image). Hence you can compose it with the quotient map $(x,y,z)mapsto [x:y:z]$ (which is well-defined on non-zero points) to obtain the map you give.

Apolo y la Nueve Musas En la mitología griega, las musas (en griego antiguo μοῦσαι « mousai» ) son, según los escritores más antiguos, las divinidades inspiradoras de las Artes: cada una de ellas está relacionada con ramas artísticas y del conocimiento. Son hijas de Zeus y de Mnemósine, compañeras del séquito de Apolo, dios olímpico de la música y patrón de las bellas artes, quien tuvo romances con cada una de ellas, dejando descendientes. Bajaban a la tierra a susurrar ideas e inspirar a aquellos mortales que las invocaran. En la época más arcaica eran las ninfas inspiradoras de las fuentes, en las cuales eran adoradas. Finalmente, alrededor de los siglos VIII-VII a. C. [ 1 ] ​ prevaleció en todo el territorio de la Hélade la adoración de las nueve Musas, que son Calíope, Clío, Erato, Euterpe, Melpómene, Polimnia, Talía, Terpsícore y Urania.
