When is a coherent sheaf on an algebraizable space algebraizable?

Let $\mathcal{X}$ denote an algebraizable rigid analytic space over $\text{Spm}(\mathbb{Q}_p)$, i.e. there exists a finite type $\mathbb{Q}_p$-scheme $X$ such that $\mathcal{X}$ is its rigid ...

GAGA, positive line bundles, Kodaira embedding, and homogeneous coordinate rings

Let $M$ be a compact K"ahler manifold and let $L$ be a positive line bundle over $M$. We know from the Kodaira embedding theorem that from $L^{\otimes k}$ for some $k$ we can construct an ...

Comparing algebraic and analytic spaces through the universal property of classifying topoi

$\newcommand\kAlg{k\mathrm{Alg}}\DeclareMathOperator\Zar{Zar}\newcommand\Mnf{\mathrm{Mnf}}$I apologize beforehand if my question is naïve. I must admit that I do not know much about analytic/smooth ...

The notion of border for (complex and non-archimedean) analytic spaces and schemes

Is a manifold with corner an analytic space (just show that $\left[0, +\infty \right)^{n}$ is an analytic space, which seems obvious but maybe I'm wrong...) EDIT: as noted in the comments some complex ...

Topologically contractible algebraic varieties

From a post to The Jouanolou trick: Are all topologically trivial (contractible) complex algebraic varieties necessarily affine? Are there examples of those not birationally equivalent to an affine ...

Decomposability and analytification of coherent sheaves

Let $X$ be an affine (algebraic) complex variety and $f:Y \to X$ be a finite morphism. Given any coherent sheaf $\mathcal{F}$ on $X$, we denote by $\mathcal{F}^{an}$ the analytification of $\mathcal{F}...

GAGA for vector bundles over Riemann surfaces

Serre’s GAGA theorem gives an equivalence of categories between algebraic and analytic coherent sheaves over a complex projective variety. The proof relies on the finiteness of the cohomologies of ...

Rellich Embedding Theorem for the $2$-Sphere

I'm trying to understand the Rellich-Embedding Theorem in the non-flat case by looking at the $2$-sphere. To be precise, for $S$ the spinor bundle of $S^2$; $L^2(S^2)$ the space of square integrable ...

Does the structure morphism matter in GAGA?

Let $X$ be an integral Noetherian separated scheme. Can there exist two morphisms of finite type $X\rightarrow \mathrm{Spec}\,\mathbb{C}$ such that the corresponding complex-analytic spaces are not ...

Algebrizing analytic quotients of algebraic spaces

Suppose that $Y$ is an algebraic space over $\mathbb{C}$ which is "nice" (say, separated and of finite type). Let $R\subset Y\times Y$ be a closed algebraic subspace which forms a categorical ...

Algebraic de Rham cohomology vs. analytic de Rham cohomology

Let $X$ be a nice variety over $\mathbb{C}$, where nice probably means smooth and proper. I want to know: How can we show that the hypercohomology of the algebraic de Rham complex agrees with the ...

Does the cohomology comparison part of GAGA hold over the reals?

If $k=\mathbb{C}$, $X$ is a projective (or even proper) scheme over $k$ and $F$ a coherent sheaf on $X$, then there is an isomorphism $$ H^p(X,F)\rightarrow H^p(X^{an}, F^{an}) $$ (and there is also ...

What is the intuition behind the proof of the algebraic version of Cartan's theorem A?

I am trying to understand the idea behind the proof of GAGA. A crucial step is the following: Theorem: Let $X=\mathbb{P}^r_{\mathbb{C}}$ (either as a variety or as an analytic space), and let $\...
