Dec 3, 2012 at 22:06 comment added Damian Rössler @Will Savin: I agree but he write "X a non-reduced curve".
Dec 3, 2012 at 20:06 comment added Will Sawin Depending on the definition one uses, one may not take that to be a curve.
Dec 3, 2012 at 19:29 comment added Sándor Kovács @Naga: I also forgot to add this: What is $I_C$ in your specific example/question? Is it just $I_X$?
Dec 3, 2012 at 19:28 comment added Sándor Kovács @Damian: yes, of course, you're right, I actually wanted to say that, but then got lost in my own neverending comment.

Dec 3, 2012 at 18:33 comment added Damian Rössler @Eric Wofsey & Sandor Kovacs: even if $F$ is torsion it might have support on the whole curve. Consider the ${\cal O}_X$-module $(\epsilon)$ on the curve $C[\epsilon]=C\times_k{\rm Spec}\, k[\epsilon]/\epsilon^2$. This has support $=C$.
Dec 3, 2012 at 18:14 comment added Sándor Kovács @Naga: you should think about this question a little more. The notion of torsion does not include the notion of nilpotent for the simple reason that $\mathcal F$ may not have a multiplication. Perhaps you want to look at $\mathcal O_X$-algebras? Torsion and nilpotent are still two different notions, but perhaps you can figure out what it is that you are asking. Furthermore, in your particular example you are asking if the $0^{\mathrm{th}}$ or $1^{\mathrm{st}}$ cohomology of a sheaf on a curve vanishes. It is unlikely that anything like that could happen. If it is torsion... (cont'd)
Dec 3, 2012 at 16:26 comment added Eric Wofsey If $X$ is a curve and $\mathcal F$ is torsion and coherent, then its support is 0-dimensional, so the higher cohomology automatically vanishes. If $\mathcal F$ is torsion and quasicoherent, it is a filtered colimit of torsion coherent sheaves so its higher cohomology still vanishes.
