Cohomology of a structure sheaf of a normal affine variety

I can't find the reference for the following fact: Let $X$ be an affine variety and let $Y$ be its smooth resolution. $H^0(X,\mathcal{O}_x)=H^0(Y,\mathcal{O}_Y)$ if and only if $X$ is normal.

Canonicity of Čech cohomology

For a topological space $X$, consider the Leray covering $U_\lambda$ (i.e. $\cap U_\lambda$ is sufficiently fine, e.g. affine for Zariski topology) of $X$. For a sheaf $F$ on $X,$ the cohomology $H^...

How can one compute the cohomology of $i'^*C$, for $i':\mathbb{A}^{N-1}\setminus \{0\}\to \mathbb{A}^{N}\setminus \{0\} $?

For an (etale or 'topological', constructible bounded) complex of sheaves $C$ on $X'=\mathbb{A}^{N}\setminus \{0\} $, $i'$ being the embedding $\mathbb{A}^{N-1}\setminus \{0\}\to \mathbb{A}^{N}\...

On inverse images with respect to Zariski-etale topology.

For a variety $X$ I define its Zariski-etale site as follows: the category is the category of etale $X$-schemes, and the coverings are Zariski ones. Note that this topology is more coarse than the ...

Is the square of a special line bundle also special?

Suppose $C$ is a smooth projective curve over, say, $\mathbb{C}$. I'm interested in knowing whether the following is true. Let $\mathcal{L} \in Pic^d(C)$ be a special line bundle, i.e. its $H^1 \neq 0$...

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? ...

First sheaf cohomology $H^1(\mathscr{O}_D, \mathbb{D})=0$

Given a finite divisor$$D=p_1+\dots +p_m -q_1 -\dots -q_n$$on the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$, does it necessarily follow that the first sheaf cohomology group equals zero, i.e.$$H^1(\mathscr{O}_D, \mathbb{...

Cohomology group vs sheaf of cohomology group

Suppose $F$ is a coherent sheaf on a smooth (algebraic or complex) variety $X$. Then we can consider the cohomology groups $$H^p(X,F)$$ for all $i$. Now, let we consider the sheaf $$\mathcal{H}^p(X,F)$...
