Nice blowups are universal algebraic fiber spaces?
We say that a proper (maybe projective) morphism $f:X \to Y$ is a universal algebraic fiber space if $f_* O_X = O_Y$ holds universally. (This means: for any morphism $Y' \to Y$, if $X' = Y' \times_Y X$...

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 (...

Picard group of a finite type $\mathbb{Z}$-algebra
Let $A$ be a finitely generated $\mathbb{Z}$-algebra. Is $\operatorname{Pic}(A)$ finitely generated (as an abelian group)?
Thoughts:
We may assume that $A$ is reduced since $\operatorname{Pic}(A) = \...

Picard group of normalization
Let $X$ be a projective variety with at worst (analytic) normal crossings singularities and $\pi:\tilde{X} \to X$ be the normalisation. Is there a "nice" description relating the picard group of $X$ ...

Picard group of Drinfeld upper half space
Let $K$ be a $p$-adic field and $\Omega^{(n)}_K$ the $n$-dimensional Drinfeld upper half space over $K$ (which is a rigid analytic space over $K$).
Is the Picard group of $\Omega^{(n)}_K$ known? ...

Is Pic( G((z)) ) = $\mathbb{Z}$?
There are a fair number of papers by Beauville, Laszlo, Sorger, Kumar and others on the geometry of $LG/L^+G = G((z))/G[[z]]$ where $G$ is a simply connected and simple group over $\mathbb{C}$. In ...
