Intuition behind results in Mumford's “Lectures on curves on an algebraic surface”, II

NOTE: This is a followup to my question here. These are some questions concerning Mumford's "Lectures on curves on an algebraic surface". We concern ourselves with questions of the Picard variety $P$...

Exponential map of moduli space

Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a projective smooth moduli space over $\mathbb{C}$ (the specific example I have in mind is the moduli of curves $\mathcal{M}_g)$. Consider a point $[X]\in \mathcal{M}(\mathbb{C})$....

Linear projection from a point preserves flatness

Let $\pi:\mathcal{X} \to S$ be a flat family of affine curves contained in $\mathbb{C}^n$ for $n \ge 3$ i.e., $\mathcal{X} \hookrightarrow \mathbb{C}^n_S$ and the inclusion commutes with the natural ...

An analogue of Brill-Noether for hypersurfaces?

Let $d,g,r$ be natural numbers such that $d \geq 1$, $g \geq 2$, $r \geq 3$. Denote by $\mathcal{H}_{d,g,r}$ the Hilbert scheme classifying subschemes of $\mathbb{P}^r$ with Hilbert polynomial $P(x) = ...

Examples of semi-stable models of curves

Let $R$ be a discrete valuation ring with fraction field $K$ of characteristic zero and residue field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$. Assume $k$ is algebraically closed. I want to produce examples of ...

Fiber of the specialization map of Picard groups

Let $R$ be a Henselian discrete valuation ring with residue field $k$ of positive characteristic and fraction field $K$ of characteristic zero. Let $\pi:X_R \to \mathrm{Spec}(R)$ be flat, projective ...

Deformation of complete intersection curves

Let $\mathcal{X} \to B$ be a family of smooth surfaces in $\mathbb{P}^3$. Let $\mathcal{C} \to B$ be a family of curves in $\mathbb{P}^3$. Assume that for all $b \in B$, the fiber $\mathcal{C}_b$ is ...

Infinitesimal neighbourhoods and simultaneous normalization

Let $B$ be a local, complete, integral $\mathbb{C}$-algebra of Krull dimension $1$ and $n:B \to \mathbb{C}[[t]]$ the normalization map. Given any local artinian $\mathbb{C}$-algebra $A$, we say that ...

Smoothability of stable curves in mixed characteristic

Let $R$ be a complete DVR with residue field $k$ algebraically closed of characteristic $p$ and fraction field $K$ of characteristic zero. Let $C$ be a stable curve (in the sense of Mumford-Deligne) ...

Smoothing a map between curves

In the paper Families of Rationally Connected Varieties, the authors consider a map $X\rightarrow B$, where $X$ is obtained by taking disjoint copies of $B$ mapping isomorphically to $B$ and ...

Obstruction to Gorenstein Liaisons of space curves

Let $P_1,P$ be Hilbert polynomials of curves in $\mathbb{P}^3$. Denote by $H_{P_1,P}$ the flag Hilbert scheme parametrizing pairs $(C_1 \subset C)$ where $C_1, C$ are of Hilbert polynomials $P_1$ and $...
