Tensor product of finitely generated algebras












0














I am trying to compute tensor product of finitely generated algebras over a field. I was able to compute few special tensor products. Is there a general technique which allows one to compute the tensor product for any two finitely generated algebras over a field. I'm looking for this because im interested in computing fibre product of schemes.

  • It depends on what you mean by "compute." It's not hard to write down a presentation of the tensor product, but that doesn't necessarily tell you much.

  • @Qiaochu If we take $A_1=frac{K[X_1,...,X_n]}{(f_1,...,f_l)}$ and $A_2=frac{K[Y_1,...,Y_m]}{(g_1,...,g_r)}$, then is it possible to express $A_1otimes _{K}A_2$ as a quotient of a polynomial ring in $m+n$ variables?

    @Qiaochu: yes, it's $K[x_1, dots x_n, y_1, dots y_m]/(f_1, dots f_{ell}, g_1, dots g_k)$.
