Line bundles vs. Cartier divisors on a non-integral scheme

Cartier divisors) to $H^1( O^*)$ (i.e. line bundles) is surjective. … So the example would have to be a scheme with embedded primes with a tricky nonconstant $K^*$ (the sheaf of nonzero divisors). I've seen it but can't remember right now. …

Contracting divisors to a point

For a smooth $Y$, a necessary condition for contractibility is that the conormal line bundle $N_{Y,X}^*$ is ample. It is also sufficient for contracting to an algebraic space. The reference is Algebra …
