It is claimed here that there exist proper schemes (probably over a field but not explicitly stated) with trivial Picard group. This means that every locally free $O_X$-module of rank 1 is trivial.

Do there exist proper schemes over a field such that every locally free $O_X$-module of finite rank is trivial?

Maybe it is easier to give some examples with algebraic spaces, but the accepted answer should give a scheme.

EDIT: examples should be positive-dimensional.

According to this paper it is not known if every proper algebraic scheme admits nontrivial vector bundles. Partial results can be found here.

  • $\begingroup$ great! the paper looks like it is pretty old. Hopefully, @SándorKovács could add something useful. $\endgroup$
