Must the composition of projective morphisms be projective?

The notion of a projective morphism in algebraic geometry is surprisingly subtle. It is not quite clear what the definition is! For example, the definition in EGA differs from that in Hartshorne. ...

Can you give an example of two projective morphisms of schemes whose composition is not projective?

Grothendieck and Dieudonné prove in $EGA_{II}$ (Proposition 5.5.5.(ii), page 105) that if $f:X\to Y, g:Y\to Z$ are projective morphisms of schemes and if $Z$ is separated and quasi-compact, or if ...

Generalization of the rigidity lemma in birational geometry

Let $X,Y,Z$ be projective varieties, and let $f:X\rightarrow Y$, $g:X\rightarrow Z$ be dominant morphisms. Assume that all the fibers of $g$ have the same dimension and are connected. If there exists ...

Examples of non-projective morphisms with projective fibres

Let $X\to S$ be a morphism of noetherian schemes such that, for all $s$ in $S$, the morphism $X_s\to $ Spec $k(s)$ is projective. Then it doesn't follow that $X\to S$ is projective in general. In ...

Generalized Euler sequence on a projective scheme

Let $\mathcal{E}$ be a quasi-coherent sheaf on a scheme $S$. Consider the projective scheme $p : \mathbb{P}(\mathcal{E}) \to S$ and the canonical epimorphism $p^*(\mathcal{E}) \to \mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{...

Self-intersection of a Cartier divisor

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety, and $D$ a Cartier divisor on $X$ inducing a surjective morphism $f\colon X\rightarrow C$, where $C$ is a curve. May we conclude that $D^{2}=0$?

Existence of a morphism between two toric varieties

Does there exist a morphism between the blow-up of $\mathbb{P}^3$ in four general points and $\mathbb{P}^1\times\mathbb{P}^1$? If not why?

Is an equivariant projective morphism equivariantly-projective?

Let everything be over $\mathbb{C}$. Consider two varieties $X,$ $Y,$ where $X$ is normal and $Y$ is affine, having regular $\mathbb{C}^*$-actions and a $\mathbb{C}^*$-equivariant projective morphism $...

Decomposition of a morphism with positive dimensional fibers

It is well known that any birational morphism between projective varieties is a sequence of blow ups. Suppose now that I have a morphism $f:X \to Y$ with positive dimensional fibers, that is a ...

Projectivization of cokernel of 2-term-Koszul-like morphism depends only on certain simple data?

Let $X$ be a scheme and $D \subset X$ an effective Cartier divisor on $X$. For any line bundle ${\mathcal L} \in \mathrm{Pic}(X)$ and any global section $s \in \Gamma(X,{\mathcal L})$, define $$ Y({\...

Extension of a rational section of a projective bundle

Let us assume that we work over the complex field and let $X$ be a smooth projective variety and $\pi: P \to X$ a projective bundle (i.e. a fibration in projective spaces of constant dimension). Let $...

The morphisms induced by two Cartier divisors

Let X be a projective variety. We consider two Cartier divisors $D,E$ such that $E\geq D$ and the relative morphisms $\phi_D: X - - -> \mathbb{P}(H^0(X, O_X(D))^*)$ and $\phi_E: X- - -> \mathbb{...
