Restriction of a global moduli functor that admits a coarse moduli space

Let $F:(Sch/k)^{o}\to Sets$ be a functor, where $Sch/k$ is the category of schemes over a field $k$. Suppose that $F$ admits a coarse moduli space, let it be $M$. Consider a $k$-point $x\in M$ (which ...

Family with a fixed special fiber over finite fields

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$. What are the conditions for the existence of a projective variety $X'$ over $\mathbb{Q}_p$ such that $X$ is a special fiber ...

Smooth curve in the Hilbert flag scheme

Let $d$ be an integer greater than $0$. Let $P_2$ be the Hilbert polynomial of a degree $d$ surface in $\mathbb{P}^3$. Recall, the Hilbert flag scheme $\mathrm{Hilb}_{P_1,P_2}$ parametrizes curves $C$ ...

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 $[X]\in \mathcal{M}(\mathbb{C})$....

Curve without infinitesimal automorphism has no deformation with automorphism

$\DeclareMathOperator\Spec{Spec}$From studying the classical literature on deformation theory, I have the impression that if the identity morphism of a curve $C$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ ...

Ex 1.1c Hartshorne Deformation Theory: Is this family flat?

This comes from my attempt to solve Exercise 1.1c in Hartshorne's Deformation Theory book, which says that a family of conics in $\mathbb{P}^2$ parameterised by some finitely generated $k$-algebra $A$ ...

miniversality vs versality

Consider a moduli problem $\mathcal{M}$. Assume, at each point $x$, the associated deformation problem $\mathcal{M}_x$ has a tangent-obstruction theory. It follows that $\mathcal{M}_x$ has a hull $...

Normal sheaf of non-reduced locally complete intersection space curves

Let $C$ be a non-reduced locally complete intersection curve on a smooth degree $d$ surface in $\mathbb{P}^3$ (for example a non-reduced Cartier divisor). For simplicity we can assume that $d>deg(C)...

Maximum number of generators of a curve in $\mathbb{P}^3$

Let $H_{d,g}$ denote the Hilbert scheme of curves of degree $d$ and genus $g$ locally of complete intersection in $\mathbb{P}^3$. Given a curve $C \in H_{d,g}$, denote by $S(C)$ a minimal set of ...
