Abstract: This paper initiates the study of a class of schemes that we call correspondence scrolls, which includes the rational normal scrolls and linearly embedded projective bundle of decomposable bundles, as well as degenerate K3 surfaces, Calabi-Yau 3-folds, and many other examples.


This paper introduces schemes called ``correspondence scrolls and gives a general study of them. For a closed subscheme \(Z\) in \(\Pi _{i=1}^n {\mathbb A}^{a_i+1}\), defined by a multigraded ideal \(I\subset A:={\Bbbk}[x_{i,j} : 1\le i \le n, 0 \le j \le a_i]\), and for \(\mathbf{b}=(b_1, \ldots , b_n) \in \mathbb{N}_+^n\), consider the homomorphism \({\Bbbk}[z_{i,\alpha }] \rightarrow A/I\) which sends a variable \(z_{i, \alpha }\) to the monomial \(x_i^\alpha\), of degree \(b_i\). Here \(x_i^ {\alpha }\) denotes \(x_{i,0}^{\alpha _0} \cdots x_{i, a_i}^{\alpha _{a_i}}\). The kernel of the above map defines a closed projective subscheme \(C(Z, {\mathbf b}) \subset { \mathbb P}^N\) (\(N= \sum \binom{a_i+b_i}{a_i}-1)\), called \textit{correspondence scroll}. This definition includes classical correspondences as well as interesting non-classical ones: rational normal scrolls, double structures which are degenerate \(K3\) surfaces, degenerate Calabi-Yau threefolds, etc. Many invariants or properties of correspondence scrolls are studied: dimension, degree, nonsingularity, Cohen-Macaulay and Gorenstein property and others. The paper is very well written and invites to further research.
