Nov 9, 2010 at 5:33 comment added jlk @FP: Thanks! Those examples are very nice!
Nov 8, 2010 at 9:04 comment added Francesco Polizzi Dear Brian and jlk, I do not see how to make an approximation argument work either. About Artin's examples, I looked for them but I could not find the exact reference. However, during my search I met further examples of non-algebraizable formal schemes, maybe (if you do not know them already) you could find them interesting. The references are [Hironaka-Matsumura, "Formal functions and formal embeddings" J. math. soc. Japan 20, Theorem 5.3.3 ] and [Hartshorne, Ample subvarieties of algebraic varieties, p. 205]. Regards, Francesco
Nov 8, 2010 at 2:00 comment added jlk @BCnrd: Please let me know if you see an approximation argument or if you remember Artin's examples. I'd be interested in both.
Nov 7, 2010 at 19:41 comment added BCnrd Dear Francesco: Do you see what such an approximation argument might be? I thought for a little bit and didn't see how to make it work. I have vague recollection that Artin constructed examples of non-algebraizable formal singularities (perhaps over any alg. closed field of char. 0?), but I don't remember anything more about that.
Nov 7, 2010 at 14:15 comment added Francesco Polizzi @BCnrd Good point. Thank you for the remark!
Nov 7, 2010 at 13:54 comment added BCnrd The question asked for non-algebraization as abstract (locally noetherian) scheme, not equipped with auxiliary structure (such as map to a specific affine scheme). By replacing $\mathbf{C}$ with $\mathbf{Q}$, perhaps an approximation argument can prove that if the above example admits algebraization as an abstract scheme then it also does as a proper flat scheme over the indicated base (hence a contradiction, as explained above).

Nov 6, 2010 at 19:56 comment added Emerton I guess so. The universal deformation of an abelian variety of dimension $> 1$ would be another, I guess.
Nov 6, 2010 at 19:55 comment added Francesco Polizzi And into my mind too :-) I think it's a kind of standard example...
Nov 6, 2010 at 19:52 comment added Emerton Yes, this is the first example that came to my mind!
