Jan 16, 2020 at 21:05 comment added myzhang24 Remark to point 2: as soon as dimension $X$ is at least $3$, one can find examples. See my answer.
Aug 12, 2012 at 14:40 comment added Federigo In order to say that there exists $W$ coherent on $X$ such that $W_{|U}\simeq E$ can't we use Hartshorne's Algebraic Geometry, II, ex. 5.15 p. 126? There is no assumption on $X\U$. Of course $W$ is not isomorphic to $j_*(E)$ but I don't think we need it in point 2. Let me point out that point 2 can be applied to the following situation, if I am not wrong: if $X$ is a relative smooth connected curve over a Dedekind scheme (i.e. $dim(X)=2$) a vector bundle over its generic fiber can be extended to $X$. Sorry for my 2 years delay but what is important is that it's still August! :-)
Aug 20, 2010 at 15:00 comment added David Treumann I am also wrong about torsion, the example in my previous comment is bogus. I've asked another question about this.
Aug 18, 2010 at 18:37 comment added Donu Arapura Right. I made the appropriate changes.

Aug 18, 2010 at 15:59 comment added David Treumann I am wrong about X having to be compact, since U and X will have a common compactification. Torsion Chern classes still give obstructions: e.g. if X is the total space of O(n), n < -1, on P^1 and U is the complement of the zero section, there are line bundles on U that do not extend across X or a compactification of X.

Aug 17, 2010 at 15:18 comment added Donu Arapura Yes, sorry, let me add that.
Aug 17, 2010 at 15:16 comment added David Treumann 4. is nice! It requires X smooth and compact, so Chern classes can still give obstructions e.g. to extending vector bundles across the special fiber of a degeneration.
