Is there a useful theory of D-modules on smooth (non-analytic) manifolds?
D-modules are related to flat connections on vector bundles, end hence local systems. The theory of D-modules (and related notions such as crystals etc.) seems to be very popular in complex analytic ...

Dual of slope semistable vector bundle on higher dimensional variety
Recall the definition of slope semistability, taken from section 1.2 of Huybrechts and Lehn's "Geometry of Moduli Spaces of Sheaves" book. Let $X$ be a projective $\mathbb{C}$-scheme and $E \...

Understanding spaces is the same as understanding (sheaves of) functions on the space
I'm trying to understand Ravi Vakil's FOAG. In chapter 2 it is written:
[...] understanding spaces is the same as understanding (sheaves of) functions on the spaces, and
understanding vector bundles (...

Origin of the name Trace resp Integral symbol for the trace map of Dualizing Sheaf
Let $X \subset \mathbb{P}^n_k$ be a normal projective subscheme over $k$ of dimension $n$. The dualizing sheaf is in context of Serre duality a pair $(\omega_X,t)$ (which exists in that case) ...

Sheafification of presheaf of trivial vector bundles is the stack of vector bundles
This is a deliberately vague question, possibly obvious to experts. Let $F$ be a field. Over the (say, fpqc) site of $F$-schemes, we may define a presheaf $T^{\textrm{pre}}$ that takes a scheme $S$ ...

Normal bundle of a linear subspace
Let $X\subset\mathbb{P}^N$ be a smooth scheme theoretical complete intersection, and $H\subset X$ a linear subspace. Denote by $N_{H,X}$ the normal bundle of $H$ in $X$.
If $\dim(H) = 1$, that is $H$ ...

Line bundle whose pushforward is a complex of vector bundles
If $E\to X$ is a holomorphic vector bundle, it is well known that the tautological line bundle $\mathcal{O}_E(1)$ over the projectivization $\pi:\mathbb{P}(E^*)\to X$ satisfies
$$\pi_*\mathcal{O}_E(1)=...

Geometric meaning of coherent sheaves $\mathcal{F} \otimes \mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^n}(d)$ over $\mathbb{P}^n$
Maybe it sounds like a silly question but I'm not able to figure out in my head the geometric meaning of "twisting" vector bundles (or more generaly coherent sheaf) over $\mathbb{P}^n$.
I ...

Dual of stable vector bundle on a Fano threefold
Let $E$ be a rank $2$ stable vector bundle on a prime Fano threefold of genus $8$, with Chern numbers $c_1=1, c_2=6, c_3=0$.
Question. Is it true that $E(-1)=E^*$?
What I am able to show is that ...
