Let $\varphi :C\setminus S\to {\mathbb{P}}^n$ be the given algebraic morphism of algebraic varieties. Its value at the generic point supplies homogeneous coordinates $[h_0:\cdots :h_n]$ with $h_i\in k(C)$, not all zero. Thus it defines a rational map of projective varieties on $C$.

Fix a missing point $p\in S$. The local ring of a smooth algebraic curve at $p$ is a discrete valuation ring $A={\mathcal{O}}_{C,p}$, with uniformizer $t$ and valuation $v_p$. PutZero coordinates remain zero. Every $a_i$ is in $A$, and some $a_j$ is a unit because its valuation is zero. Choose a neighborhood $U$ of $p$ on which all $a_i$ are regular and $a_j$ remains nonvanishing; this is possible because membership in the local ring means regularity on a neighborhood. The affine target-chart coordinatesare regular on $U$, so they define a morphism of algebraic varieties $U\to {\mathbb{P}}^n$. At $p$ its homogeneous value is $[a_0(p):\cdots :a_n(p)]$, well-defined because $a_j(p)\ne 0$.

Multiplication of all homogeneous coordinates by the same nonzero rational function does not change their projective point. Thus this local morphism agrees with the original one on the common dense open where their coordinates were chosen. They agree throughout the overlap: the target's diagonal is closed, being defined in homogeneous coordinate pairs by $T_i{U}_j-T_j{U}_i=0$ for all $i,j$. Thus the equalizer is closed and contains that dense open. Apply this construction at each point of the finite set $S$ and glue with the original morphism. The same closed-diagonal argument proves uniqueness. ThereforeThis gives the extension of a rational map from a smooth projective curve by explicit local coordinates. The mechanism is the one-dimensional smooth local ring: it permits removal of the smallest common pole order while leaving at least one unit coordinate.

The formula $[X:Y:Z]\mapsto [X:Z]$ is initially undefined at the unique point $P_{\infty }=[0:1:0]$ of $X$ at infinity. Since $X$ is a smooth projective curve, the extension of a rational map from a smooth projective curve extends it uniquely to a morphismOn the affine chart it is the rational function $x$, and the equation $y^3=x^4+1$ shows that $\phi$ has degree three.

For each of the four roots $\alpha$ of $x^4+1$, let $P_{\alpha }=(\alpha ,0)$. Since the root is simple, $t=y$ is a uniformizer at $P_{\alpha }$, and the equation givesThus the ramification index of a holomorphic map at every $P_{\alpha }$ is three.

At $P_{\infty }$, use the chart $Y=1$ and put $u=X/Y$, $v=Z/Y$. The equation becomesThe implicit function theorem makes $u$ a uniformizer and gives $v=u^4$ times a local unit. Henceso $P_{\infty }$ also has ramification index three. These are all the ramification points of a holomorphic map because the resulting ramification degree is $5(3-1)=10$. Indeed, the Riemann-Hurwitz formula givesTherefore $g_X=3$, in agreement with the genus of a smooth plane curve, and the Euler characteristic of the underlying compact orientable surface is

For an algebraically closed field $k$, the strong Hilbert Nullstellensatz says that every ideal $J\subseteq k[x_1,\dots ,x_n]$ satisfiesIts weak form says that $V(J)=\varnothing$ exactly when $J=(1)$. Now let $S=\mathbb{C}[x_0,\dots ,x_n]$ and let $I\subseteq S$ be a homogeneous ideal. The affine zero set of $I$ is the affine cone over $V_{+}(I)$ together with the origin. Hence, when the projective zero set is empty, eitheror the affine zero set is exactly the origin. In the latter case the Hilbert Nullstellensatz givesthe irrelevant ideal of projective space. Equivalently, some power $(x_0,\dots ,x_n{)}^N$ is contained in $I$. These are precisely the alternatives in the Projective Nullstellensatz.

Let $V\subseteq {\mathbb{P}}^3$ be a smooth quadric surface. After a projective linear transformation, the Segre embedding identifiesChoose distinct points $p,q\in {\mathbb{P}}^1$. The two fibresare the promised disjoint curves on a smooth quadric surface: each is a smooth projective line, and $C_p\cap C_q=\varnothing$. By the Bézout theorem, any two nonempty curves in the projective plane intersect. An isomorphism of algebraic varieties preserves intersections and takes projective curves to projective curves, so these disjoint curves prove

Next let $W$ be a smooth projective curve and let $f:W⇢Y\subseteq {\mathbb{P}}^N$ be a rational map to a projective variety. At a point $P$ outside its initial domain, writeusing elements of the function field $\mathbb{C}(W)$. The local ring of a smooth algebraic curve at $P$ is a discrete valuation ring. If $m={\min }_i{v}_P(f_i)$, multiplying every coordinate by a function of valuation $-m$ makes all coordinates regular at $P$ and at least one a unit there. They therefore define a morphism near $P$. Repeating this at the finitely many missing points proves the extension of a rational map from a smooth projective curve.

Smoothness is essential. Let $\nu :{\mathbb{P}}^1\to C$ be the normalization of a nodal curve for a rational nodal cubic $C$. The inverse is a rational map $C⇢{\mathbb{P}}^1$ on the smooth locus. If it extended to a morphism $g:C\to {\mathbb{P}}^1$, then $g\circ \nu$ would agree with the identity on a dense Zariski-open subset of ${\mathbb{P}}^1$ and hence everywhere. But the two distinct points $a,b\in {\mathbb{P}}^1$ above the node would satisfya contradiction. This is the failure of rational-map extension on a singular curve.

Finally take the Fermat cubic curveand define the projective hypersurfaceBecause $F$ and $xyz$ have no common irreducible factor, the bihomogeneous polynomial $sF+txyz$ is irreducible, so $Z$ is an algebraic variety. Letbe the second coordinate projection. Every homogeneous cubic in three variables has a projective zero over $\mathbb{C}$, so every fibre is nonempty and $\pi$ is a surjective morphism. Over $p=[1:0]$ the fibre is the Fermat cubic curve, which is smooth and has genusOver $q=[0:1]$ the fibre isthe union of exactly three distinct projective lines, hence exactly three irreducible components. This is the cubic pencil with a triangular member required by the question.
