Topology where surjective morphisms of finite presentation are coverings

I am interested in the topology on schemes where surjective morphisms of finite presentation are coverings. In particular, I am interested in the topology on Noetherian schemes where surjective morph …

When are direct products exact in the category of quasi-coherent sheaves?

A counterexample showing that direct products in the category of quasi-coherent sheaves over the projective line $\mathbb P_k^1$ over a field $k$ are not exact functors can be found in the paper "The …

Algebraic geometry for cocommutative corings with counit.

Let's consider coalgebras over a field rather than corings. There is a theorem that every (coassociative) coalgebra over a field is the union of its finite-dimensional subcoalgebras. So the category …

Hypercohomology of a dg-algebra

Sheaves of DG-algebras were studied by Hinich here, and he also gives some other references, but I cannot say whether it contains what you are asking about.

Non-commutative algebraic geometry

The short answer is that if you tried doing this, you would be getting into lots of (mathematical) trouble. There were a number of papers and preprints by Alexander Rosenberg devoted to this problem, …

Grothendieck topologies, Mayer-Vietoris, and points

I am trying to think about certain problems in the theory of motives without having a proper background in Grothendieck topologies and the like, hoping to teach myself the related techniques in the pr …

Finitely-affine morphisms; cohomological dimension of schemes

Let $f\colon X\to U$ be a morphism of Noetherian schemes such that the scheme $U$ is affine and the scheme $X$ is separated and, e.g., quasi-projective over affine. Let $U=\bigcup_\alpha U_\alpha$ be …

Indexing the Line Bundles of a Flag Manifold

Attempting to answer your last question: given a (topological, Lie, algebraic, etc.) group G and a closed subgroup P in G, the category of G-equivariant vector bundles on X=G/P is equivalent to the ca …

$\mathcal{D}$-quasi-isomorphisms and coherent $\Omega$-modules

Let $\mathcal M$ be a left $\mathcal D$-module over a smooth curve $X$. Then the Koszul duality functor assigns to $\mathcal M$ the DG-module $\Omega_X\otimes_{\mathcal O_X}\mathcal M$ over the de Rh …

Definition of étale for rings

Apparently $B$ should be finitely generated as a ring over $A$ and be a flat $A$-module, and the module of Kaehler differentials of $B$ over $A$ should vanish. When $A$ is a field, the characterizati …

Exceptional collections and cohomological criteria for isomorphism

It is hard to think of a general way to obtain an isomorphism of vector bundles from several isomorphisms of cohomology spaces. In particular, there can be moduli of vector bundles, I presume, even o …

A technical question about derivations of sheaves on group schemes

You interpret your derivation $D_e$ as a distribution on $G$ supported in $e$, and then your derivation $D$ is the convolution with $D_e$ with respect to $m$. I.e., take your local function on $G$, c …

Etale cohomology of regular local rings

Let $R$ be a regular local ring (I am particularly interested in the case when $R$ is the local ring of a point on a smooth scheme of finite type over a field). Let $G$ be the etale fundamental group …

Is "semisimple" a dense condition among Lie algebras?

The answer to the question in the title is "no". Semisimplicity is an open condition; however, it is not a dense open condition. Indeed, the variety of Lie algebras is reducible. There is one equat …

Geometric interpretation of filtered rings and modules

To a filtered algebra $(A,F)$ one can assign its Rees algebra $R=\bigoplus_i F_iA$. It is a graded algebra containing the algebra of polynomials in one variable $\mathbb{C}[t]$ naturally embedded as …
