Let be a two-dimensional standard-graded normal domain over an algebraically closed field . Let
be the corresponding smooth projective curve and let
-
be an -primary homogeneous ideal with generators of degrees . Then we get on the short exact sequence
-
Here is a vector bundle, called the syzygy bundle, of rank and of degree
-
An element
-
defines a cohomology class
-
With this notation we have
-
(homogeneous of some degree )
such that
for all . This cohomology class lives in
-
For the plus closure we have a similar correspondence:
-
if and only if there exists a curve
such that the pull-back of the cohomology class vanishes.
