Aug 19, 2011 at 15:48 comment added Donu Arapura Matt, proper is enough.
Aug 19, 2011 at 15:48 comment added Donu Arapura Rita, this is a very nice answer. I vaguely recall using something similar long ago. After I checked, I found a related result and proof on p 54 of Mumford's Abelian Varieties.
Aug 19, 2011 at 15:46 comment added Matt Do you use that $f$ is projective? I think the only step is the semi-continuity one which works for proper.
Aug 19, 2011 at 15:03 comment added rita @Ulrich: I've edited my answer and included that condition that the fibers be reduced.

Aug 18, 2011 at 12:40 comment added naf Thanks for the reference. Given counterexamples with non-reduced fibres or base what you say seems to be the best possible.
Aug 18, 2011 at 12:10 comment added rita It is a line bundle if $h^0(X_y, M)=1$ for all $y$ by Corollary 12.9 in Hartshorne, `Algebraic geometry'.
Aug 18, 2011 at 11:56 comment added naf I don't have a counterexample in nonzero characteristics but I also don't see why $f*_M$ is a line bundle without some additional assumptions.
Aug 18, 2011 at 11:10 comment added rita @Ulrich: I think you are right about the reduced fibers, thank you very much. Does the characteristic really matter here?
Aug 18, 2011 at 10:44 comment added naf I guess you are assuming that all fibres are reduced (and maybe also characteristic zero)?
