When is the push-forward of the structure sheaf locally free
Let $f:X\longrightarrow Y$ be a morphism of noetherian schemes. Under what conditions is $f_\ast \mathcal{O}_X$ a locally free $\mathcal{O}_Y$-module?
Example 1. Suppose that $f$ is affine. Then $f_\...

Can we use sheaf cohomology to say anything interesting for vector bundles with non-flat connections?
Given a vector bundle $E \to M$ with connection $\nabla$, we get a twisted de Rham sequence using the exterior covariant derivative:
$$0 \to \mathcal{E} \xrightarrow{d^\nabla} \Omega^1_M \otimes \...
