Documentation for the Hodge diamond cutter#

A tool to work with Hodge diamonds, comes with many varieties and constructions built into it.

Hodge diamonds encode the Hodge numbers of a variety, and provide interesting information about its structure. They provide a numerical incarnation of many operations one can perform in algebraic geometry, such as blowups, projective bundles, products. They are also computed for many more specific constructions such as certain moduli spaces of sheaves, or flag varieties, …

These Hodge numbers are defined as the dimensions of the sheaf cohomology of exterior powers of the cotangent bundle, i.e.

\[\mathrm{h}^{p,q}(X)=\dim\mathrm{H}^q(X,\Omega_X^p)\]

Here $p$ and $q$ range from $0$ to $n=\dim X$. These numbers satisfy additional symmetry properties:

  • Hodge symmetry: $\mathrm{h}^{p,q}(X)=\mathrm{h}^{q,p}(X)$

  • Serre duality: $\mathrm{h}^{p,q}(X)=\mathrm{h}^{n-p,n-q}(X)$

Because of these symmetries they are usually displayed as a diamond (it’s really just a square tilted 45 degrees), so that for a surface it would be:

                h^{2,2}
        h^{2,1}         h^{1,2}
h^{2,0}         h^{1,1}         h^{0,2}
        h^{1,0}         h^{0,1}
                h^{0,0}

One of their famous applications is the mirror symmetry prediction that every Calabi-Yau 3-fold has a mirror Calabi-Yau threefold, which should imply that their Hodge diamonds are transpositions. The first instance of this is the quintic 3-fold and its mirror, whose Hodge diamonds are:

              1
         0         0
    0         1         0
1       101       101       1
    0         1         0
         0         0
              1

and:

             1
        0         0
    0       101       0
1       1         1       1
    0       101       0
        0         0
             1

The following are some very basic examples of operations and constructions one can use within the Hodge diamond cutter. To get started we do:

sage: from diamond import *

after starting Sage.

Pretty print the Hodge diamond of a genus 2 curve:

sage: X = HodgeDiamond.from_matrix([[1, 2], [2, 1]])
sage: print(X)
      1
  2       2
      1

Compute the Euler characteristic of the product of X with itself:

sage: print((X*X).euler())
4

Pretty print the Hodge diamond of the Hilbert square of a K3 surface:

sage: S = HodgeDiamond.from_matrix([[1, 0, 1], [0, 20, 0], [1, 0, 1]])
sage: print(hilbn(S, 2))
                    1
               0         0
          1        21        1
      0        0         0        0
  1       21       232       21       1
      0        0         0        0
          1        21        1
               0         0
                    1

It also possible to generate LaTeX code:

sage: latex(K3().pprint())
\begin{tabular}{ccccc}
 &  & $1$ &  &  \\
 & $0$ &  & $0$ &  \\
$1$ &  & $20$ &  & $1$ \\
 & $0$ &  & $0$ &  \\
 &  & $1$ &  &  \\
\end{tabular}

There are many varieties built in, e.g. the previously defined K3 surface can be compared to the built-in one:

sage: print(S == K3())
True

in most cases though.

classmethod from_matrix(m, from_variety=False)[source]#

sage: from diamond import *
sage: S = HodgeDiamond.from_matrix([[1, 0, 1], [0, 20, 0], [1, 0, 1]])
sage: S == K3()

Traceback (most recent call last):
...
AssertionError: The matrix does not
                satisfy the conditions satisfied by the Hodge diamond of a
                smooth projective variety.

sage: x, y = (HodgeDiamond.x, HodgeDiamond.y)
sage: S = HodgeDiamond.from_polynomial(1 + x**2 + 20*x*y + y**2 + x**2 * y**2)
sage: S == K3()
True

The following fails as the lack of symmetry prevents a geometric origin:

sage: HodgeDiamond.from_polynomial(1 + x, from_variety=True)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
AssertionError: The matrix does not
                satisfy the conditions satisfied by the Hodge diamond of a

property polynomial#

The Hodge–Poincaré polynomial describing the Hodge diamond

Getter:

returns the Hodge–Poincaré polynomial

Setter:

sets the Hodge diamond using a Hodge–Poincaré polynomial

Type:

element of HodgeDiamond.R

EXAMPLES:

The Hodge–Poincaré polynomial of a K3 surface:

sage: from diamond import *
sage: print(K3().polynomial)
x^2*y^2 + x^2 + 20*x*y + y^2 + 1

Modifying the Hodge diamond of the projective plane:

sage: X = Pn(2)
sage: X.polynomial = X.polynomial + X.x * X.y
sage: print(X)
          1
      0       0
  0       2       0
      0       0
          1
property matrix#

The matrix describing the Hodge diamond

Getter:

returns the matrix

Setter:

sets the Hodge diamond using a matrix

Type:

square matrix of integers

size()[source]#

Internal method to determine the (relevant) size of the Hodge diamond

__eq__(other)[source]#

Check whether two Hodge diamonds are equal

This compares the Hodge polynomials, not the possibly oversized matrices describing the Hodge diamond.

EXAMPLES:

A quartic surface is a K3 surface:

sage: from diamond import *
sage: K3() == hypersurface(4, 2)
True
__ne__(other)[source]#

Check whether two Hodge diamonds are not equal

EXAMPLES:

The projective line is not a genus 2 curve:

sage: from diamond import *
sage: Pn(1) != curve(2)
True

The point is not the Lefschetz class:

sage: point() != lefschetz()
True
__pow__(power)[source]#

Raise a Hodge diamond to a power

This corresponds to iterated multiplication.

INPUT:

  • power – exponent for the iterated multiplication

EXAMPLES:

The product of 2 K3 surfaces in two ways:

sage: from diamond import *
sage: K3()**2 == K3()*K3()
True
__call__(i, y=None)[source]#

The calling operator either does a Lefschetz twist, or an evaluation

If one parameter is present, then twist by a power of the Lefschetz Hodge diamond. If two parameters are present, then evaluate the Hodge-Poincaré polynomial

Negative values are allowed to untwist, up to the appropriate power.

INPUT:

  • i – integer denoting the power of the Lefschetz class, or value for the first variable

  • y – value of the second variable (default: None), if it is non-zero then i is reinterpreted as the value of the first variable

EXAMPLES:

The Lefschetz class is by definition the twist of the point:

sage: from diamond import *
sage: lefschetz() == point()(1)
True

We can reconstruct projective space as a sum of twists of the point:

sage: Pn(10) == sum(point()(i) for i in range(11))
True

If we supply two parameters we are evaluation the Hodge-Poincaré polynomial, e.g. to find the Euler characteristic:

sage: Pn(10)(1, 1) == 11
True
__getitem__(index)[source]#

Get (p, q)th entry of Hodge diamond or the ith row of the Hodge diamond

__str__()[source]#

Pretty print Hodge diamond

This gets called when you specifically print the object.

EXAMPLES:

The projective line:

sage: from diamond import *
sage: print(Pn(1))
      1
  0       0
      1
pprint(format='table', hide_zeroes=None, quarter=None)[source]#

Pretty print the Hodge diamond

INPUT:

  • format – output format (default: “table”), if table it pretty prints a Hodge diamond; all else defaults to the polynomial

  • hide_zeroes (default: False) – whether to hide the zeroes if “table” is used as format

  • quarter (default: False) – whether to only print the top-left quarter if “table” is used for the format

The parameters hide_zeroes and quarter can be set using a static variable, in which case providing them will override this value (if it is set).

EXAMPLES:

The projective line:

sage: from diamond import *
sage: Pn(1).pprint()
      1
  0       0
      1
sage: Pn(1).pprint(format="polynomial")
x*y + 1

Don’t print the zeroes:

sage: from diamond import *
sage: (Pn(2) * curve(3)).pprint(hide_zeroes=True)
      1
  3       3
      2
  3       3
      2
  3       3
      1

Only print the top-left quarter:

sage: from diamond import *
sage: (Pn(2) * curve(3)).pprint(quarter=True)
              1
          3
      0       2
  0       3

Only print the top-left quarter whilst hiding zeroes:

sage: from diamond import *
sage: (Pn(2) * curve(3)).pprint(hide_zeroes=True, quarter=True)
      1
  3
      2
  3
is_hodge_symmetric()[source]#

Check whether the Hodge diamond satisfies Hodge symmetry

This checks the equality

\[\mathrm{h}^{p,q}(X)=\mathrm{h}^{q,p}(X)\]

for $p,q=0,\ldots,\dim X$.

Almost all of the constructions provided with the library satisfy Hodge symmetry, because we (somewhat implicitly) work with things which are (or behave like) smooth projective varieties over a field of characteristic zero.

Over the complex numbers this can fail for non-Kähler manifolds, such as the Hopf surface.

In positive characteristic this can fail too, with an example given by classical and singular Enriques surfaces in characteristic 2, see [MR0491720] and Proposition 1.4.2 in [MR0986969]

  • [MR0491720] Bombieri–Mumford, Enriques’ classification of surfaces in char. p. III.

  • [MR0986969] Cossec–Dolgachev, Enriques surfaces I, Progress in Mathematics, 1989

EXAMPLES:

Constructions satisfy this property:

sage: from diamond import *
sage: Pn(5).is_hodge_symmetric()
True

The Hopf surface over the complex numbers:

sage: S = HodgeDiamond.from_matrix([[1, 0, 0], [1, 0, 1], [0, 0, 1]])
sage: print(S)
          1
      0       1
  0       0       0
      1       0
          1
sage: S.is_hodge_symmetric()
False

Classical and singular Enriques surfaces in characteristic 2 (which are smooth, despite their name) also have a Hodge diamond violating Hodge symmetry:

sage: enriques(two="classical").is_hodge_symmetric()
False
sage: enriques(two="singular").is_hodge_symmetric()
False
sage: enriques(two="supersingular").is_hodge_symmetric()
True
is_serre_symmetric()[source]#

Check whether the Hodge diamond satisfies Serre symmetry

This checks the equality

\[\mathrm{h}^{p,q}(X)=\mathrm{h}^{\dim X-p,\dim X-q}(X)\]

for $p,q=0,\ldots,\dim X$.

Because Serre duality holds for all smooth projective varieties, independent of the characteristic, and also for non-Kähler varieties there are no examples where this condition fails. It can of course fail for motivic pieces, for silly reasons.

EXAMPLES:

The Hilbert scheme of 4 points on a K3 surface satisfies the symmetry:

sage: from diamond import *
sage: hilbn(K3(), 4).is_serre_symmetric()
True

The Lefschetz diamond fails it for silly reasons:

sage: lefschetz().is_serre_symmetric()
False
betti()[source]#

Betti numbers of the Hodge diamond

This gives an integer vector.

EXAMPLES:

Betti numbers of a K3 surface:

sage: from diamond import *
sage: K3().betti()
[1, 0, 22, 0, 1]

The second Betti number of the Hilbert scheme of points on a K3 surface is 23, not 22:

sage: [hilbn(K3(), n).betti()[2] for n in range(2, 10)]
[23, 23, 23, 23, 23, 23, 23, 23]
middle()[source]#

Middle cohomology of the Hodge diamond

For smooth projective varieties the middle cohomology sits in degree equal to the dimension.

EXAMPLES:

There is an interesting link between K3 surfaces and cubic fourfolds which can be seen on the level of middle cohomology:

sage: from diamond import *
sage: (hypersurface(3, 4) - lefschetz()**2).middle()
[0, 1, 20, 1, 0]
sage: K3().middle()
[1, 20, 1]
row(i, truncate=False)[source]#

Get the ith row of the Hodge diamond

For smooth projective varieties these are the Hodge numbers of the Hodge structure on the cohomology in degree i.

Alternatively, you can use HodgeDiamond.__getitem__ with a single index i (but then you have to truncate yourself).

INPUT:

  • i – the row of the Hodge diamond

  • truncate (default: False) – whether you want to omit leading and trailing zeroes

EXAMPLES:

For a smooth projective variety the middle cohomology is the row sitting in the middle dimension:

sage: from diamond import *
sage: hypersurface(3, 4).middle() == hypersurface(3, 4).row(4)
True

If you don’t want to truncate, HodgeDiamond.__getitem__ gives the same functionality:

sage: from diamond import *
sage: hypersurface(3, 4).row(4) == hypersurface(3, 4)[4]
True

For the moduli space of vector bundles on a curve, the cohomology in degree 3 is the same as the cohomology of the curve in degree 1:

sage: from diamond import *
sage: moduli_vector_bundles(3, 1, 9).row(3, truncate=True)
[9, 9]
signature()[source]#

The signature of the Hodge diamond

This is the index of the intersection form on middle cohomology taken with real coefficients. By the Hodge index theorem it is given by the formula in Theorem 6.33 of Voisin’s first book on Hodge theory.

\[\sigma=\sum_{p,q=0}^{\dim X}(-1)^p\mathrm{h}^{p,q}\]

This of course only makes sense if the diamond comes from a compact Kähler manifold.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from diamond import * sage: K3().signature() -16

euler()[source]#

The topological Euler characteristic of the Hodge diamond

This is the alternating sum of the Betti numbers, so that

\[\chi_{\mathrm{top}}=\sum_{p,q=0}^{\dim X}(-1)^{p+q}\mathrm{h}^{p,q}\]

EXAMPLES:

The Euler characteristic of projective space grows linearly:

sage: from diamond import *
sage: [Pn(n).euler() for n in range(10)]
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

For Hilbert schemes of points of K3 surfaces these are the coefficients of the series expansion of the Dedekind eta-function, see A006922 in the OEIS:

sage: [hilbn(K3(), n).euler() for n in range(10)]
[1, 24, 324, 3200, 25650, 176256, 1073720, 5930496, 30178575, 143184000]
holomorphic_euler()[source]#

Holomorphic Euler characteristic

This is the Euler characteristic of the structure sheaf, so

\[\chi(X)=\sum_{i=0}^{\dim X}(-1)^i\mathrm{h}^{0,i}(X)\]

EXAMPLES:

For projective space it is 1:

sage: from diamond import *
sage: all(Pn(n).holomorphic_euler() == 1 for n in range(10))
True

For a hyperkähler variety of dimension $2n$ this number is $n+1$:

sage: all(K3n(n).holomorphic_euler() == n+1 for n in range(5))
True
hirzebruch()[source]#

Hirzebruch’s chi_y genus

For a smooth projective variety $X$ Hirzebruch’s $\chi_y$-genus is defined as

\[\chi_y(X)=\sum_{p,q=0}^{\dim X}(-1)^{p+q}\mathrm{h}^{p,q}(X)y^p\]

which shows it is the specialisation of the Hodge-Poincaré polynomial for $x=-1$. A further specialisation to $y=-1$ gives the Euler characteristic.

EXAMPLES:

For a K3 surface we have:

sage: from diamond import *
sage: K3().hirzebruch()
2*y^2 - 20*y + 2
sage: K3().hirzebruch().subs(y=-1) == K3().euler()
True

For the Hilbert square of a K3 surface we get:

sage: hilbn(K3(), 2).hirzebruch()
3*y^4 - 42*y^3 + 234*y^2 - 42*y + 3
sage: hilbn(K3(), 2).hirzebruch().subs(y=-1) == hilbn(K3(), 2).euler()
True
homological_unit()[source]#

Dimensions of $\mathrm{H}^\bullet(X,\mathcal{O}_X)$

A notion introduced by Abuaf.

hochschild()[source]#

Dimensions of the Hochschild homology

Columns of the Hodge diamond are Hochschild homology, by the Hochschild- Kostant-Rosenberg theorem.

hh()[source]#

Shorthand for HodgeDiamond.hochschild()

arises_from_variety()[source]#

Check whether the Hodge diamond can arise from a smooth projective variety

The constraints are:

  • satisfy Hodge symmetry

  • satisfy Serre symmetry

  • there is no Lefschetz twist

is_zero()[source]#

Check whether the Hodge diamond is identically zero

lefschetz_power()[source]#

Return the twist by the Lefschetz motive that is present

In other words, we see how divisible the Hodge–Poincaré polynomial is with respect to the monomial $x^iy^i$

dimension()[source]#

Dimension of the Hodge diamond

This takes twists by the Lefschetz class into account: we untwist by the maximal power and only then determine how big the diamond is.

EXAMPLES:

A point is 0-dimensional:

sage: from diamond import *
sage: point().dimension()
0

The Lefschetz diamond is also 0-dimensional:

sage: print(lefschetz())
      0
  0       0
      1
sage: lefschetz().dimension()
0
level()[source]#

Compute the level (or complexity) of the Hodge diamond

This is a measure of the width of the non-zero part of the Hodge diamond.

EXAMPLES:

The simplest case is projective space, with level zero:

sage: from diamond import *
sage: all(Pn(n).level() == 0 for n in range(10))
True

For intersections of 2 quadrics it alternates between zero and one:

sage: all(complete_intersection([2,2], 2*n).level() == 0 for n in range(5))
True
sage: all(complete_intersection([2,2], 2*n+1).level() == 1 for n in range(5))
True

A Calabi-Yau variety (e.g. a hypersurface of degree $n+1$ in $\mathbb{P}^n$) has maximal level:

sage: all(hypersurface(n+2, n).level() == n for n in range(10))
True
blowup(other, codim=None)[source]#

Compute Hodge diamond of blowup

No consistency checks are performed, this just naively applies the blowup formula from Hodge theory.

INPUT:

  • other – Hodge diamond of the center of the blowup

  • codim – codimension of the center (optional), in case it is not the Hodge diamond of an honest variety

EXAMPLES:

A cubic surface is the blowup of $\mathbb{P}^2$ in 6 points:

sage: from diamond import *
sage: Pn(2).blowup(6*point()) == hypersurface(3, 2)
True
bundle(rank)[source]#

Compute the Hodge diamond of a projective bundle

This applies the bundle formula from Hodge theory without any consistency checks.

INPUT:

  • rank: rank of the vector bundle on self

EXAMPLES:

A projective bundle on a point is a projective space:

sage: from diamond import *
sage: point().bundle(3) == Pn(2)
True

A quadric surface is a $\mathbb{P}^1$-bundle on $\mathbb{P}^1$:

sage: Pn(1).bundle(2) == hypersurface(2, 2)
True
mirror()[source]#

Compute the mirror Hodge diamond

EXAMPLES:

The mirror to a quintic 3-fold is the following:

sage: from diamond import *
sage: print(hypersurface(5, 3).mirror())
                 1
            0         0
        0       101       0
    1       1         1       1
        0       101       0
            0         0
                 1

Hochschild homology of the Ganter–Kapranov symmetric power of a smooth and proper dg category

This is possibly only a heuristic (I didn’t check for proofs in the literature) based on the decomposition of Hochschild homology for a quotient stack, as discussed in the paper of Polishchuk–Van den Bergh.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from diamond import *
sage: k = K3().hh()
sage: k.symmetric_power(2)

The affine line:

EXAMPLES:

The zero-dimensional case is a point:

sage: from diamond import *
sage: Pn(0) == point()
True

In general projective space is the sum of powers of the Lefschetz class:

sage: all(Pn(n) == sum([lefschetz()**i for i in range(n + 1)]) for n in range(1, 10))

diamond.hypersurface(degree, dimension)[source]#

Shorthand for a complete intersection of the given dimension where $k=1$

Hodge diamond for a weighted hypersurface of degree d in P(w_0,...,w_n)

This implements Theorem 7.2 of Fletcher’s notes, Working with weighted complete intersections.

INPUT:

  • degree – degree of the hypersurface

  • weights – the weights of the weighted projective space, if it is an integer we interpret it as the dimension of P^n

EXAMPLES:

The Fano 3-fold 1.1 is a weighted hypersurface:

sage: fano_threefold(1, 1) == weighted_hypersurface(6, [1,1,1,1,3])
True

If the variety is only quasismooth, not smooth, then we have to interpret the Hodge numbers accordingly. For instance, number 2 on Reid’s list of 95 K3s has middle Hodge number 19, because the surface is has one node.

Hodge diamond for the moduli space of vector bundles of given rank and fixed determinant of given degree on a curve of a given genus.

For the proof, see Corollary 5.1 of [MR1817504].

  • [MR1817504] del Baño, On the Chow motive of some moduli spaces. J. Reine Angew. Math. 532 (2001), 105–132.

If the Hodge diamond for the moduli space with non-fixed determinant of degree d is required, this can be obtained by:

INPUT:

diamond.seshadris_desingularisation(genus)[source]#

Hodge diamond for Seshadri’s desingularisation of the moduli space of rank 2 bundles with trivial determinant on a curve of a given genus $g$.

This follows from the “beautiful formula” or X-F(X)-relation due to Galkin–Shinder, Theorem 5.1 of [1405.5154v2].

  • [1405.5154v2] Galkin–Shinder, The Fano variety of lines and rationality problem for a cubic hypersurface

Moduli spaces attached to quivers#

diamond.quiver_moduli(Q, d, **kwargs)[source]#

Hodge diamond for the moduli space of semistable quiver representations for a quiver Q, dimension vector d, and slope-stability condition mu.

Taken from Corollary 6.9 of [MR1974891]

  • [MR1974891] Reineke, The Harder-Narasimhan system in quantum groups and cohomology of quiver moduli.

INPUT:

  • Q – adjacency matrix of an acyclic quiver

  • d – dimension vector

  • mu – stability condition, these can be produced using slope(), if left unspecified then the canonical stability condition is used

The canonical stability condition for dimension vector d is given by the antisymmetrised Euler form pairing with d.

EXAMPLES:

Let’s consider moduli spaces for the Kronecker quiver:

sage: from diamond import *
sage: def kronecker(d): return matrix([[0, d], [0, 0]])

For the 2-Kronecker quiver and dimension vector (1,1) a representation is given by 2 scalars, and the stability condition (1,-1) encodes that they are not both zero. This way we obtain the projective line:

sage: quiver_moduli(kronecker(2), (1, 1), mu=slope((1, -1))) == Pn(1)
True

There is only one relevant stability chamber here, which contains the canonical stability condition. Thus we get the same result not specifying the stability function:

sage: quiver_moduli(kronecker(2), (1, 1)) == Pn(1)
True

Similar to the first example, the $d$-Kronecker quiver gives rise to projective spaces:

sage: all(quiver_moduli(kronecker(d), (1, 1)) == Pn(d - 1) for d in range(3, 10))
True

We can also realise Grassmannians using the $d$-Kronecker quiver, for dimension vector $(1,k)$ and stability condition $(k,1)$ (or the canonical stability condition) we get the Grassmannian $\operatorname{Gr}(k,d)$:

sage: quiver_moduli(kronecker(4), (1, 2), mu=slope((2, 1))) == grassmannian(2, 4)
True
sage: quiver_moduli(kronecker(7), (1, 3)) == grassmannian(3, 7)
True

Any stability function in the same chamber gives the same variety:

sage: quiver_moduli(kronecker(7), (1, 3)) == quiver_moduli(kronecker(7), (1, 3), mu=slope((1, -1)))
True

The following is an example of wall-crossing, and thus different varieties:

sage: M = matrix([[0, 1, 1], [0, 0, 2], [0, 0, 0]])
sage: quiver_moduli(M, (1, 1, 1)) == Pn(2).blowup(point())
True
sage: quiver_moduli(M, (1, 1, 1), mu=slope((1, 0, 0))) == Pn(2)
True

The flag variety $\operatorname{Fl}(n,r_1,\ldots,r_s)$ is also a quiver moduli space, for $\mathrm{A}_s$ quiver prefixed with an $n$-Kronecker quiver, dimension vector $(1,r_1,\ldots,r_s)$ with $r_1>\ldots>r_s$ and stability condition the indicator function at the first vertex:

sage: def flags(n, s): return matrix(ZZ, s+1, s+1, lambda i,j: 0 if i != j-1 else (n if i == 0 else 1))
sage: quiver_moduli(flags(4, 1), (1, 1)) == Pn(3)
True
sage: quiver_moduli(flags(3, 2), (1, 2, 1)) == fano_threefold(2, 32)
True
sage: quiver_moduli(flags(5, 3), (1, 4, 3, 1)) == partial_flag_variety("A4", [2])
True

Hodge diamond for the moduli space of $n$-pointed stable curves of genus 0

Taken from (0.12) in [MR1363064]. Keel’s original paper has a recursion on page 550, but that seems to not work.

EXAMPLES:

The first few cases are a point, the projective line, and the blowup of $\mathbb{P}^2$ in 4 points:

sage: from diamond import *
sage: Mzeronbar(3) == point()
True
sage: Mzeronbar(4) == Pn(1)
True
sage: Mzeronbar(5) == Pn(2).blowup(4*point())
True
