Does the sheaf $\mathcal{O}^*$ on a complex manifold have an acyclic cover?
Let $X$ be a complex manifold and let $\mathcal{O}^*$ be the sheaf nonvanishing holomorphic functions on it. Does it have an acyclic cover? That is, a cover for which all open sets and all ...

Do general sheaves on P^2 have cohomology governed by their Euler characteristic?
Suppose $\xi$ is chern character on $\mathbb P^2$. Then there is a moduli space $M(\xi)$ of semistable sheaves of chern character $\xi$.
If $\xi$ has Euler characteristic 0, then apparently there is ...

Coherent cohomological dimension and affine morphisms
For simplicity, all varieties in this question are quasiprojective varieties over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$.
The coherent cohomological dimension $cd(X)$ of a variety $X$ is ...

Different definition of sheaf cohomology
It could be related to my previous question here.
Let $\mathcal F$ be a sheaf on a topological space $X$. Hartshorne in his book on Algebraic geometry defines the sheaf cohomology by
$$
H^i(X, \...

Yoga on coherent flat sheaves $\mathcal{F}$ over projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$
I'm reading Mumfords's Lectures on Curves on an Algebraic Surface (jstor-link: https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctt1b9x2g3)
and I found in Lecture 7 (RESUME OF THE COHOMOLOGY OF COHERENT SHEAVES ON
$\...

Proper base change for non-quasicoherent sheaves
For a proper flat map $f: X \to Y$ (of reasonable schemes) and a closed embedding $i: Y' \to Y$, we know by EGA the base change quasi-isomorphism, where $f'$ and $i'$ are the pullbacks of $f$ and $i$:

Semicontinuity of cohomology of torsion-free sheaves restricted to divisors
Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety, $\mathcal{E}$ a torsion-free coherent sheaf on $X$ and $\mathfrak{d}$ a linear system of divisors in $X$.
I would like to show (at least when $X$ is a surface) ...

existence of a coherent sheaf
I am doing algebraic geometry. My question is the following: Here $X=\mathbb{A}^1-0$, $\mathbb{A}^1 = Spec A[t]$, $A$ is a commutative, noetherian ring with unity, consider $\mathcal{O}_{Spec A}$ as $\...

Base change for finding fibers of the pushforward of a line bundle along a proper non-flat morphism
Let $f: X \to Y$ be a proper morphism whose fibers have different dimensions, in particular $f$ is not flat. Let $L$ be a line bundle on $X$. What conditions would be sufficient to be able to conclude ...

Computing the coherent cohomology of a quasiprojective variety
I have a quasiprojective variety given by some explicit quations. How do I compute its coherent cohomology (with coefficients in the structure sheaf)? Do I use the Cech complex for an open affine ...

A sheaf for factorization
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with $1$ and let $X$ be the space of connected componens of $Spec (R) $ with Zariski topology ( The boolean spectrum of $R $ )and let for each $x\in X$ there exists a ...

Do infinitesimal neighbourhoods help to compute the inverse images of coherent sheaves?
Let $i:Z\to X$ be a closed embedding of (projective) varieties; $S$ is a coherent sheaf on $X$. How could one compute $H^*(Z,i^\ast S)$ (I don't know whether I should write $H^\ast (Z,i^{-1}S)$ ...
