Apr 9, 2011 at 17:38 comment added HNuer Thanks for the suggestion about the Euler characteristic. I'm only aware of, but comfortable yet with, the generalized Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem so I came up with a more elementary argument just using semicontinuity and you comment about the Euler char.

Apr 8, 2011 at 14:11 comment added Piotr Achinger If you don't want to use intersection theory, note that the function $y\mapsto \chi(X_y, \mathcal{M}_y)$ is locally constant (Hartshorne III 12). Then use Riemann-Roch.
Apr 8, 2011 at 14:00 comment added Francesco Polizzi Sorry, I vas thinking of $\textrm{rank}(\mathcal{E})=3$. If $\textrm{rank}(\mathcal{E})=n+1$, the degree of the restriction to a fiber is the $n$-th root of $\mathcal{L}^n \cdot F$. A good reference is Hartshorne, but the most complete treatment of intersection theory is given in Fulton's book.
Apr 8, 2011 at 13:14 comment added HNuer Fair enough. I just haven't seen the degree defined that way before so I'm not yet comfortable with it. Care to provide a good reference? Couldn't one argue something similar, namely that since the fibres are isomorphic the induced invertible sheaves must be isomorphic? I'm not being precise here, I admit, since that doesn't mean that the induced invertible sheaf by some random isomorphism will be the invertible sheaf induced by restriction to the other fiber, but I believe this idea should lead to a precise answer, no?
Apr 8, 2011 at 13:04 comment added Francesco Polizzi Yes it follows from the degree being 0. It seems to me that the degree is the natural way to treat this kind of problems
Apr 8, 2011 at 12:56 comment added HNuer Doesn't effectiveness then follow from the degree being 0? Is there a way of seeing this wihtout the notion of degree? Thanks for your help.
Apr 8, 2011 at 12:53 comment added Francesco Polizzi The degree of $\mathcal{L}:=\mathcal{M} \otimes \mathcal{O}_X(-m)$ restricted to a fibre $F$ is given by the square root of the intersection number $\mathcal{L} \cdot \mathcal{L} \cdot F$. This is clearly independent on the fibre, since all the fibres are algebraically equivalent. It follows that $\mathcal{L}$ has degree $0$ when restricted on each fibre. Since the fibre is a projective space, the restriction must be trivial.
Apr 8, 2011 at 12:43 comment added HNuer How do you see that it's effective and of degree 0 on every fibre?
Apr 8, 2011 at 12:40 comment added Francesco Polizzi It is effective and of degree $0$ on every fibre, so the restriction is trivial for every $y$.
