Duality and a Canonical Sheaf in Periodic Riemann Functions
Abstract
Let be a Riemann function whose weight is a perfect matching. Then there is a family of sheaves of -vector spaces on a five-point topological that models in that and that for any . Hence a Riemann-Roch formula for is equivalent to an Euler characteristic computation of . If and are -periodic, then the sheaves become -modules of finite type for a natural sheaf of rings . We show that in this case there is a ``canonical -module'' and a pairing for , that is perfect when and is a certain type of line bundle or a certain type of skyscraper sheaf. In particular when is a line bundle, we realize the above formula for as a duality theorem akin to Serre duality. We show that canonical -module is a rather exceptional element in a family of tensor products of two modules , where and vary over -modules of the form . This article doesn't assume any background in sheaf theory; rather we describe all our sheaves as a ``diagrams of vector spaces,'' where each diagram is essentially a sheaf of vector spaces on a fixed topological space of five points.
