[parent] algebraic equivalence of divisors (Definition)

Let $X$ be a surface (a two-dimensional algebraic variety).

Definition 1  
  1. An algebraic family of effective divisors on $X$ parametrized by a non-singular curve $T$ is defined to be an effective Cartier divisor $\mathcal{D}$ on $X\times T$ which is flat over $T$ .
  2. If $\mathcal{F}$ is an algebraic family of effective divisors on $X$ , parametrized by a non-singular curve $T$ , and $P,Q\in T$ are any two closed points on $T$ , then we say that the corresponding divisors in $\mathcal{F}$ , $D_P,D_Q$ , are prealgebraically equivalent.
  3. Two (Weil) divisors $D,D'$ on $X$ are algebraically equivalent if there is a finite sequence $D=D_0, D_1, \ldots, D_n=D'$ with $D_i$ and $D_{i+1}$ prealgebraically equivalent for all $0\leq i < n$ .
