Consider the following setting: suppose that $X$ is a smooth variety and let $f:X\rightarrow \Delta$ be a smooth morphism outside the origin $0$. Let the central fiber $X_0$ be a reduced (Cartier) ...

Suppose now $(X,\mathcal O_X)$ is a normal complex space, and $\mathcal F$ is a coherent analytic sheaf on it. Product the reflexive sheaf $$\mathcal F^{[p]}:=(\mathcal F^{\otimes p})^{**},$$ where $\...

Let $X$ be a smooth complex $3$-fold, and let $C \subset X$ be an embedded smooth rational curve whose normal bundle $N_{C/X}$ is isomorphic to $\mathscr{O}(-1) \oplus \mathscr{O}(-1)$. Is it true ...
