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 $\...

flatness of restriction of structure sheaf over ring of global sections

Let $X$ be an affine scheme. $U \subseteq X$ open. Then I want to show that $\mathcal{O}_X(U)$ is flat over $\mathcal{O}_X(X)$. But I want to prove it only by knowing the definition of structure sheaf ...

Basic question on projective bundles

Let $\mathcal{E}$ be a coherent sheaf on an irreducible scheme $S$ ($S$ can be pretty nice, say noetherian of finite type), and let $\mathbf{P}(\mathcal{E}):=\mathrm{Proj}(\mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{E}))$ ...

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 (...

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 ...

Direct image functor commuting with infinite direct sum of sheaves

Normally I would think this kind of question doesn't belong on overflow, but I haven't been able to find an answer anywhere else, so perhaps it is not so trivial. Let $f: X \rightarrow Y$ be a ...

Locally ringed space with noetherian stalks and a non-coherent structural sheaf

I am looking for a locally ringed space the stalks of which are noetherian and such that the structural sheaf is not coherent over itself. Can you provide me an example of this? Notice that one may ...

When is a coherent subsheaf determined by its global sections

I am reading an article in which a proof is based on defining a subsheaf by only giving its global sections. The exact setting is that, one has a surjective finite morphism $f:Y\to X$ between ...

Double dual of ample sheaf

Do I know what "coherent sheaf" means if I know what it means on locally Noetherian schemes?

I've been trying to convince myself that "coherent sheaf" is a natural definition. One way I might be satisfied is the following: for modules over a Noetherian ring $A$, coherent and finitely ...

Global to local for Ext groups and Sheaves

Let $X$ be a projective variety. The sheaf $\mathcal{E}xt^{1}(\Omega_{X},\mathcal{O}_{X})$ is supported on $Sing(X)$. Now, there should be a theorem (perhaps by Schlessinger) that says that if $X$ ...

What are the merits of the different finiteness conditions on quasi-coherent sheaves?
