Vakil exercise on sheaf associated to the divisor of rational section
This is exercise 15.4.G. of Vakil's notes.
Let $\mathscr{L}$ be an invertible sheaf on an irreducible normal scheme $X$ with $s$ a rational section of $\mathscr{L}$. We want that $\mathscr{O}_X(\text{...

Residue of the canonical sheaf along subvariety
Let $S$ be a smooth projective surface over an
algebraically closed field $k$ and $C \subset S$ a singular curve. Let us denote by $K_S$ the class of canonical divisor of $S$ and $\mathcal{O}(K_S)$ ...

Degree of a divisor along a subscheme
I'm curious about a computation of Prop2.3 in The gonality conjecture on syzygies of algebraic curves of large degree by Ein and Lazarsfeld. Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve carrying a pencil $\...

Direct image of reflexive sheaf via finite, flat map
Suppose $f: X \rightarrow Y$ is a finite, flat (hence locally free) morphism of curves (i.e. schemes of dimension 1, not smooth or even reduced). Suppose $L$ is a reflexive sheaf on $X$, locally free ...

Higher cohomology of sheaves on a projective space
Let $S\subset\mathbb{P}^n$ be a finite set of $s$ reduced points. Let $\mathcal{I}$ be the ideal sheaf of $S$ in $\mathbb{P}^n$. We consider the sheaf
$$\mathcal{F}_k:=\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^n}(kd)\...

On morphisms to projective space arising from a linear system
Context: This question arose as I was reading the proof of Application 6.1 in Mumford's Abelian Varieties. However, I have extracted all of the relevant information below so this question should ...

Elementary short exact sequence of sheaves
This question arised when I was trying to use this answer to understand Reid's "Young Person's guide to Canonical Singularities". In particular page 352 when computing the blow-up $Y\rightarrow A^2/\...
