Hypercovers with sieves

Consider a covering family $\{Y_i \to X\}$ and the induced sieve $R \subseteq X$, the subpresheaf of all maps to $X$ that factor through some $Y_i$. The family gives me an induced Cech nerve $C_\...

Type vs degree of a polarized abelian variety

Let $(A,L)$ be a polarized abelian variety. I know that the degree of the polarization is the Euler characteristic of $L$, so that $d = \chi(L) = \dim H^0(A,L)$ since $L$ is ample. I've read in a lot ...

Suppose that $\pi:X\to S$ is a flat morphism between Noetherian, integral schemes (of characteristic zero, if need be). Let $\mathcal{E}$ be a locally free sheaf on $X$, and $$\nabla:\mathcal{E} \to \...

Cohomology with coefficient in sheaf of morphisms of an algebraic group

Let $G$ be an affine algebraic group over ${\mathbb C}$. We denote the sheaf of morphisms from ${\mathbb A}^1$ to $G$ by $\bf G$. Then $H^1({\mathbb A}^1,\bf G)=0$ (Cech cohomlogy). Is this fact true? ...
