Locally affine varieties and du Val singularities

Let me start with an apologetic disclaimer: I am very far from an algebraic geometer, so this question might be crudely formulated. I have a specific question about du Val singularities, but while ...

Is there an analogue of projective spaces for proper schemes?

Does there exist a countable set of connected proper smooth $\mathbb{C}$-schemes such that any connected proper smooth $\mathbb{C}$-scheme admits a $\mathbb{C}$-immersion into one of them?

On non-representability of certain hom schemes

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field. It is well-known that the isom-sheaf Isom$(\mathbb{A}^1_k,\mathbb{A}^1_k)$ is not representable by an algebraic space. (To be clear, the functor Isom$(\mathbb{...

Does cohomology with compact support contain "ample" elements

Let $X$ be a quasi-projective integral variety over $\mathbb{C}$. If $X$ is projective, then $\mathrm{H}^2(X,\mathbb{Z})$ contains "ample" classes. These "ample" classes are defined as being the image ...

Is there an analytic criterion for quasi-compactness of a scheme?

Let $X$ be a locally finite type scheme over $\mathbb C$. I'm looking for the analogue of the notion "finite type" for $X^{an}$ and an SGA 1 Exp. XII type of criterion which says that The scheme $X$...
