When is the intersection of an isolated normal singularity with a generic linear subspace through that singularity normal? E.g., affine cone over a general embedding of an Abelian surface. |

Connectedness of hyperplane sections (reference request) The Fulton-Hansen theory is more general, but this particular case is the Lemma of Enriques-Severi-Zariski, which is older. |

Vector bundles on Stein Manifolds These types of results are sometimes also called "Grauert's Oka principle". So perhaps there are earlier partial results of Oka (e.g., when $k$ equals $1$). |

There are many varieties with ample canonical bundle What makes you believe that there is an irreducible component of your moduli space of positive dimension? If you are asking whether or not that is true, I suggest editing your question a bit. |

Global sections of twisting ideal sheaf of a smooth closed point on a projective space You have incorrectly computed $h^0(\mathbb{P}^2,\mathcal{O}(1)/\mathcal{I}_x^3\mathcal{O}(1))$. The dimension should be $6$, not $3$. |

are moduli stacks deligne-mumford stacks in general Correction: As userN points out, I missed the OP's hypothesis that the stack is defined over $\text{Spec}(\mathbb{C})$. For stacks over $\text{Spec}(\mathbb{C})$, I agree with Ravi: every algebraic stack with finite diagonal is Deligne-Mumford. This follows from Artin's theorems. |

Are all Equivariant Bundles of a Total Flag Manifold Constructable from Line Bundles? @Ago: An iterated extension is a $G$-equivariant vector bundle (or, equivalently, locally free sheaf) together with a $G$-invariant filtation by $G$-equivariant vector subbundles (locally free subsheaves with locally free quotient) whose associated subquotients are each $G$-equivariant line bundles (invertible sheaves). I am confused by your notation for $U(1) \times \dots \times U(1)$. The representation of this group is the same as the adjoint representation of this group on $\mathfrak{sl}_{3}/\mathfrak{b}$, where $\mathfrak{b}$ is upper triangular $3\times 3$ matrices with trace zero. |

Zariski’s main theorem in the form of Grothendieck, universal properties Laumon and Moret-Bailly, Chapitre 16, particularly Corollaire 16.6.2. Although I agree with Angelo in spirit, it is certainly helpful to readers of an article to have a secondary source that they can refer to as necessary. |

Defining Equations of a Flag Variety Another keyword, in addition to "standard monomials", is "straightening law". |

Defining Equations of a Flag Variety I wholeheartedly agree with @Barbara. If you get stuck, you might check Griffiths and Harris, p. 211. They do the case of the Grassmannian, but the "diagonal" morphism of a flag variety into the product of Grassmannians is a closed immersion, and defining equations of that closed immersion are easier to compute. |

canonical model of a reducible curve @IMeasy: As Angelo points out, usually you need to take a sufficiently positive tensor power of the dualizing sheaf before the global sections define a closed immersion into projective space; I believe the third power always works. Mumford proved that for the closed immersion associated to the fifth power, the corresponding point of the Hilbert scheme is stable in the sense of Geometric Invariant Theory (you did not ask, but I thought I would mention it). |

canonical model of a reducible curve I am confused by this question. There is, indeed, a precise definition of the term "canonical model", and it is (usually) defined using the dualizing sheaf. Are you asking for a statement of that definition? Or are you asking for alternative definitions (perhaps more "natural" than the definition you already know)? Also, what do you mean by "twisted"? It is indeed true that the restriction of the dualizing sheaf of the total curve to a component is different from the dualizing sheaf of that component. Is that what you are referring to? |

hyperelliptic stable genus four curve My suggestion is to do a case-by-case analysis. Using the theory of admissible covers, you can explicitly list all the dual graphs that can arise from a limit of a hyperelliptic curve. I went through a couple of these and proved that every "smoothable" $\mathfrak{g}^1_3$ is a limit of a "hyperelliptic" $\mathfrak{g}^1_3$. |

hyperelliptic stable genus four curve This argument is not correct. Although all smooth genus $4$ curves have "at least two" $\mathfrak{g}^1_3$s, or more precisely, a length $2$ subscheme of $\text{Pic}^3_X$ inside $W^1_3(X)$, nonetheless, every smooth hyperelliptic curve has infinitely many $\mathfrak{g}^1_3$s. More precisely, for a smooth, hyperelliptic curve $X$, $W^1_3(X)$ is a copy of $X$ (embedded by the Abel map, and then translated). All of these $\mathfrak{g}^1_3$s come from the hyperelliptic $\mathfrak{g}^1_2$ by adding a base point. |

A question about $R$-points of an complex reductive group. @Strasser: No, the argument above does not apply to the full center. My first answer (which was only up for a few minutes) was a counterexample for the full center $Z$ in $\textb{SL}_2$. |

lifts of maps to $\mathcal{M}_{1,1}$ Neither the Siegel upper half space nor the open subset of $\mathbb{P}(2,3)$ that you mention is the stack of elliptic curves. The stack of elliptic curves is, generically, a $\mathbb{Z}_2$-gerbe. |

de Rham complex of closed immersion between smooth schemes There is more than one mistake. Since you have imposed no hypotheses on $P$ and $Q$, why should there exist etale morphisms as specified? |

relative resolution of singularity Perhaps you should look at "semistable reduction" of Kempf, Knudsen, Mumford and Saint-Donat. I believe this is the best you can hope for without some additional hypotheses. |

Tricks to produce examples of hypersurfaces with index greater than $1$ @Pannekoek: Consider, for instance, a plane conic $X$ with affine equation $au^2 + bv^2 = 1$ for $a,b\in K$ such that $X$ has no degree $1$ zero-cycle (easy to determine using Legendre's theorem). Consider the morphism $f:X\to \mathbb{A}^3_K$ given by $f(u,v) = (au^2-1,v,uv)$. This maps the degree $2$ zero-cycle $Z(au^2-1,v)$ to a $K$-point $(0,0,0)$. On the open complements, this map is an isomorphism. |
