Nov 13, 2012 at 9:01 comment added Qing Liu @Sándor: Thanks. Hope the edited answer is more clear on the isomorphism $O_Y\simeq \pi_\star O_X$ (under rather weak hypothesis) and the equality $h^0=1$ which holds under OP's hypothesis. Of course $h^1(O_F)=0$ is somehow a strong condition. On the other hands, I belieave that if $X,Y$ are both smooth, then $h^0(O_F)=1$ holds (over $\mathbb C$). Note that by Bertini, one can reduce to the case $\dim Y=1$. Then this is true in relative dimension 1 case.

Nov 13, 2012 at 7:13 comment added Sándor Kovács @Qing: The issue is not whether $X$ is normal. Mohan's point is that for your argument you need that $X_y$ is reduced. This is a property of $\pi$ not of $X$. Otherwise you do not get $h^0=1$ on the fibers. Also, what does it mean that "$\pi_*\mathscr O_X$ injects into its stalk at the generic point" ? Another issue is that your statement does not answer when the required isomorphism happens, just reformulates it. Finally, just to be nitpicking, it's called the "structure" sheaf.

Nov 13, 2012 at 6:22 comment added Qing Liu @Mohan, I don't know why $X$ was normal in my mind. Thanks !

Nov 13, 2012 at 6:07 comment added Qing Liu @Mohan, I will add explanations. @aglearner: I read trivial as isomorphic to the structural sheaf, sorry.

Nov 13, 2012 at 0:04 comment added aglearner Dear Liu thank you for the answer! You write "Therefore if $\pi^* \pi_* E\cong E$, then $E$ it the pull-back by $\pi$ of some invertible sheaf". It seems to me that this is the logic opposite to the one that I need? I need to prove that $\pi^* \pi_* E\cong E$. Also, in my case $E$ is not necessarily invertible, it can have rank $>1$ (i.e. it is a vector bundle).
Nov 12, 2012 at 23:24 comment added Mohan Connectedness is not enough for $\pi__O_X=O_y$. For example, take $X=Y\times \text{Spec} k[\epsilon]$ with $\epsilon^2=0$.
