comment Shafarevich’s theorem for elliptic curves defined over function field of algebraic curve over algebraically closed field
Hmm 2) should be obvious because the automorphism groups are bounded...

comment Shafarevich’s theorem for elliptic curves defined over function field of algebraic curve over algebraically closed field
@nosr: nice answer! Why post it as comment? There are however two points I didn't understand: 1) why is the degree of $U'\to U$ universally bounded? 2) your proof shows that given $p:E\to U$ we can associate to it a pair $(f:U' \to U, g:U'\to X_1(1728))$ and that there are finitely many such pairs, but I fail to see why there can't be infinitely many $p:E\to U$ to which the same pair $(f, g)$ is assigned - i.e. there could be many ways of descending $g*(\mathcal{E})$ along $f$, where $\mathcal{E}\to X_1(1728)$ is the universal curve.

There is no reason for $f$ to be flat outside $U$. For example $S=\mathbb{A}^1=U$, $X = \mathbb{A}^1 \sqcup pt$.

comment Relatively numerically trivial divisor
Related II: maybe we could ask first: "Suppose $f:X\to Y$ is a projective morphism (no assumptions on $Rf_* O_X$), $E$ is an invertible sheaf on $X$ which is trivial on every fiber. Does it follow that $E = f^* F$ for an invertible sheaf $F$ on $Y$?"

comment Relatively numerically trivial divisor
Related: is it true that the set of $y$ in $Y$ s.t. $E$ is trivial on $X_y$ is closed in $Y$? Probably not (as you said, the usual results i.e. "Seesaw theorem" require flatness) and maybe a counterexample to this would give a counterexample to your question?

comment Existence of non-split vector bundles on smooth projective varieties
@Mahdi: yes. One idea of construction would be to embed $X$ into $\mathbb{P}^N$ and restrict $\Omega^1_{\mathbb{P}^N}$ to $X$ (or pull it back along a finite flat map $f:X\to \mathbb{P}^n$), but I don't know if it can work...

comment Smooth function algebra on cartesian product and beyond
Assume $M$, $N$ compact. Isn't then $C^\infty(M\times N, \mathbb{R})$ the completion of $C^\infty(M, \mathbb{R}) \otimes C^\infty(N, \mathbb{R})$ with respect to the supremum norm?

Hi Marc. Maybe it would be helpful if you mentioned why the proof known in characteristic zero doesn't work in positive characteristic.

comment Can one determine the local structure of a moduli space of bundles just by knowing the Ext-groups?
Being smooth and unobstructed are the same. Why is $\dim(M_2) = 0$? With $\dim (M_2) \leq 1$, $M_2$ is either a smooth curve or equal to $Spec(k[x]/(x^n))$ for some $n>1$ around $E$. I think finding $n$ might be difficult.

comment Coherent Sheaves and Holomorphic Vector Bundles
Locally free sheaves don't form an abelian category, and the abelian category "generated" by them is the category of coherent sheaves.

comment Coherent Sheaves and Holomorphic Vector Bundles
Think of a complex submanifold $N\subset M$ and the trivial bundle $O_N$ on $N$, thought of as a sheaf on $M$. This is a coherent sheaf on $M$, but of course does not come from a vector bundle. Another example: the ideal sheaf of $N$ (sections of the trivial bundle $O_M$ on $M$ which vanish along $N$) will not be a vector bundle if $N$ has codimension $>1$, but will still be coherent.

comment Coherent Sheaves and Holomorphic Vector Bundles
Dear John, coherent sheaves are locally cokernels of holomorphic maps between two holomorphic vector bundles. That is, $F$ is coherent if and only if locally on $X$, $F$ is the cokernel of a map $O_X^a \to O_X^b$ between two (trivial) vector bundles of finite ranks $a$, $b$. Hope this helps.

comment cohomology of restrictions of vector bundles to deformations
In particular this would show that the boundary maps are zero if $H^1(X, O_X)=0$ e.g. $X$ is simply connected. I'm really not sure if my guess is correct, let me know if you can figure it out.

comment cohomology of restrictions of vector bundles to deformations
My guess is that 1) $s$ gives you an element $c$ of $H^1(X, O_X)$ (apply $Hom(-, O_X)$ to the extension $0\to O_X \to P\to N^\vee \to 0$ where $P = O_Y/I_X^2$, $N^\vee = I_X/I_X^2$, getting a connecting homomorphism $\delta: H^0(X, N)\to H^1(X, O_X)$ and let $t = \delta(s)$), 2) the boundary maps $H^i(X, E) \to H^{i+1}(X, E)$ are just cup product with $c$. It seems plausible, but I didn't check it.

comment cohomology of restrictions of vector bundles to deformations
How about tensoring the exact sequence $0\to \mathcal{O}_X \to \mathcal{O}_{X'}\to \mathcal{O}_X\to 0$ with $E$ and looking at the long exact sequence? You get a lot of information, e.g. that $H^i(X', E) = 0$ if $H^i(X, E) = 0$.

Dear Jacob, you can recover a variety with ample or anti-ample canonical bundle from its derived category alone, you don't need the canonical bundle.

I think you're right. I never heard of MMP in such context (I thought MMP dealt with birational classification of varieties, not with models over DVRs, but I guess they are related somehow). Sorry for confusion!

comment does there exist a family of objects over the tangent space to the base space of a family of objects?
What I think Dan meant is: if the families you are considering are families of elliptic curves with fixed basis of $n$-torsion, the moduli space will be the modular curve $X(n)$ (or rather its open subset $Y(n)$). After removing finitely many points, it will be a fine moduli space. As computed here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_curve , the genus of $X(n)$ is nonzero for most $n$. Since $X(n)$ is smooth, for such $n$ there are no non-constant maps $\mathbb{A}^1\to X(n)$, that is, every family of the considered type over $\mathbb{A}^1$ has to be constant.

Dear Daniel, thank you for the comment! I was not aware of this valuative criterion. What I meant is that a f.g. $M$ is flat over a local ring $(R,m)$ iff $M/m^n$ is flat over $R/m^n$ for all $n$.
