Suppose that $X$ is a quasi-projective variety over a field $k$ and that we further know that for every coherent sheaf $\mathcal{F}$, $H^i(X,\mathcal{F})$ is finitely generated over $\Gamma(O_X)$. Is there an example where the induced morphism $X \to$ Spec $\Gamma(O_X)$ is not proper?

As the contributer a-fortiori notes in the comments to this question http://mathoverflow.net/questions/89473/is-hix-f-finitely-generated-over-gammao-x-if-f-is-coherent, there is no such example if all the groups $H^i(X,\mathcal{F})$ are known to be finitely generated over $k$. Not being strong in algebraic geometry, I can't off-hand tell whether his argument can be generalized.

I would suggest to consider the relative compactification $\bar X$ of $X$ over $Spec \Gamma(O_X)$. If $\bar X \ne X$ then most probably it would be easy to produce a coherent sheaf with non finitely generated cohomology group. – Sasha Mar 3 2012 at 4:25
