Sections of nodal curves
We work over an algebraically closed field. Suppose $X\subset \mathbf{P}^n$ is an integral projective curve and $\pi:X\to Y$ is a linear projection that identifies two distinct points $p,q\in X$ to a ...

Example of non-vanishing of first cohomology of a torsion coherent sheaf on a curve
By a curve we mean a projective scheme of pure dimension one. Can some one give an example of a curve $C$ and a torsion coherent sheaf on $C$ such that its first cohomology group does not vanish?
