A general homological Kleiman–Bertini theorem

Susan J. Sierra

Vol. 3 (2009), No. 5, 597–609
Abstract

Let G be a smooth algebraic group acting on a variety X. Let and be coherent sheaves on X. We show that if all the higher Tor sheaves of against G-orbits vanish, then for generic g G, the sheaf TorjX(g,) vanishes for all j 1. This generalizes a result of Miller and Speyer for transitive group actions and a result of Speiser, itself generalizing the classical Kleiman–Bertini theorem, on generic transversality, under a general group action, of smooth subvarieties over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0.
