comment Betti numbers of Proper nonprojective varieties
anon, sorry to be silly - but since this isn't my area I just want to make sure. When you speaks of betti numbers in characteristic $p$, you referring to the algebraic de Rham complex?

comment Understanding Adjointness of Sheaves in Algebraic Geometry
ayanta, I'm asking for something a little different, I already worked out a proof for myself. You're of course right, the proof splits up as you say :)

comment Determing Hodges Maps by their Essential Algebraic Properties
John, I'm just trying to understand the question. When you say "Hodge map" are you explicitly referring to the hodge star operator? I'm a little confused, since you say the plural "Hodge maps" later (which makes sense in this context). I'm just being a little careful. Is this standard terminology?

comment Absorbing ramification and factoring finite flat maps
@Keerthi, Ray, Thanks! I'll look into it. Will, I don't understand, could you clarify please? The picture I have in mind is what you say - I'm taking finite flat maps and absorbing their ramification to become etale.

comment Absorbing ramification and factoring finite flat maps
Can someone tell me if the link to google books is visible to them? I could write up the theorem, but since mathoverflow doesn't really support commutative diagrams it won't look nearly as good as the version in Beauville's book.

comment Complement to an open affine subvariety in an irreducible projective one
This completes the proof (for the last statement, I'm using an exercises from Hartshorne; that if one removes a point of codimension $\ge 2$ from a normal affine scheme the result is not affine.)

comment Complement to an open affine subvariety in an irreducible projective one
agleearner, I can sketch the proof: (1: Thm, An arbitrary morphism from an affine scheme to a separated scheme is affine, see mathoverflow.net/questions/74806/… for a sketch of proof). Now, let $U \subset X$ an affine open set, $Y = X - U$ and $y$ a generic point of a component of $Y$. The map $\phi: Spec \mathcal{O}_{X,y} \rightarrow X$ is affine by thm. above, hence $\phi^{-1}(U) = Spec \mathcal{O}_{X,y} - \{y\}$ is affine. Since $X$ is normal, it follows that the dimension of this local ring is $1$.

comment Universal property of blowing down
@pranavak, thanks. It's interesting that the required condition remains "to be constant along the fibers" - something checked purely at the level of topological spaces. It's even incredibly more general than just blowing up. It applies to any of the morphisms (with connected fibers) coming from stein factorization.
