Cohomology of twists on projective space
ID: cohomology-of-twists-on-projective-space
For , a twisting sheaf on projective space has when , and top cohomology with basis the Laurent monomials of total degree whose exponents are all negative. All intermediate sheaf cohomology vanishes. Their dimensions are and respectively, with the top group nonzero only for . Decompose the standard Čech cochain complex by exponent vector: no negative exponents gives a simplex with cohomology in degree zero; a nonempty proper negative-support set admits a contracting homotopy inserting a vertex outside that set; all negative exponents give only the top term. For , every twist is trivial on and has .
