Relation between $\mathrm{Pic}^\natural_{X/S}$ and two notions of rigidification

Let $X/S$ be a relative curve (perhaps with more adjectives). I have come across a few instances of rigidifying and rigidificators, which I would like to understand better. In Liu-Lorenzini-Raynaud (...

Identity relating iterated determinant line bundles

Suppose that $R$ is a (commutative, unital) ring and that $A$ is a (commutative, unital) $R$-algebra that is projective of constant rank $n$ as an $R$-module. Then $A$ has a "determinant line ...

Nef line bundles over complex analytic spaces

Let $L$ be a line bundle over a compact complex manifold $X$ with a Hermitian metric $\omega$: $L$ is said numerically effective (nef, for short) if for any $\epsilon>0$ there exists a smooth ...

Reference request: $f^*D$ semi-ample, then $D$ semi-ample

I am looking for a suitable reference to put in a bibliography for the following fact: Let $f: X \rightarrow Y$ be a surjective morphism between normal projective varieties. Let $D$ be a $\mathbb{Q}$-...

Determinant of the universal bundle

Let $M$ be the moduli space of semistable vector bundles of fixed determinant $L$ and rank $r$ over a smooth curve $X$. Assume that $gcd(r,deg(L))=1$. Let $\mathcal U$ be the universal bundle over $M\...

Universal property of limits of invertible sheaves

Let $R$ be a discrete valuation ring, $m$ the maximal ideal and $f:X \to \mathrm{Spec}(R)$ be a flat, proper morphism of relative dimension $1$. Assume further that $X$ is regular. For any $n>0$, ...

Could we extend any line bundle on the smooth part of a singular curve to a line bundle on the whole curve?

Let $X$ be a singular curve over an algebraic closed field $k$ with characteristic zero. Let $Z$ be the closed subset of singular points on $X$ and $U=X-Z$ be the smooth part, which is an open subset ...

Hopf lemma for line bundles on curves in algebraic geometry

In the paper http://arxiv.org/pdf/math/0110256v1.pdf Claire Voisin proves that all linear subspaces which lie inside of a (not too big) secant variety of a smooth projective curve must lie inside one ...

Pullback along the Torelli map is an isomorphism

I've been told many times that the Torelli map $J:\mathcal{M}_g\to \mathcal{A}_g$ for ($g\geq 2$, and at least on the level of coarse moduli spaces, over $\mathbb{C}$) gives an isomorphism of Picard ...

What does the ample cone look like?

For a variety $X/k$, consider the monoid $A$ of classes of ample line bundles in $NS(X)$. What does $A \otimes_\mathbf{Z} \mathbf{R} \subset NS(X)_\mathbf{R}$ look like?
