Name and/or uses for the spectrum of a stalk?

Topologically the scheme $\rm{Spec}(\mathcal{O}_{X,x})$ is exactly the intersection of all neighbourhoods of $x$ and algebraically it contains every infinitesimal neighbourhood of $X$. Although techni …

A mathematical idea "abstract enough to be useless for physics"

Dear Jérôme, I doubt that Grothendieck ever said that. However, in an analogous vein, Jean Leray, a brilliant French mathematician, was taken prisoner by the Germans in 1940 and sent to Oflag XVIIA …

Comprehensive and self-contained treatment of Algebraic Geometry using Functor of Points app...

Dear Brian, it seems that algebraic geometers who adopt your favoured approach are essentially specialists in algebraic groups. My favourite example would be Jantzen's Representations of Algebraic g …

Krull-Schmidt Analogue for Complete / Graded Rings

You should look at Atiyah's aricle "On the Krull-Schmidt theorem with applications to sheaves", freely available here. He gives fairly general conditions on an exact category for the Krull-Remak-Sc …

Reference request: is the punctual Hilbert scheme irreducible?

Dear Anton, my ex-colleague Michel Granger wrote his thesis on the punctual Hilbert scheme you are asking about. It is rather technical and I haven't read it. It has been published since as a "Mémoire …

Grothendieck group for projective space over the dual numbers

If $X$ is a noetherian separated scheme and $X_{red}$ its reduction , we have $K_0(X)=K_o(X_{red})$: in other words $K_o$ doesn't see nilpotents . Much more generally and profoundly, Quillen has pro …

Reference for the converse of Cartan's Theorem B

Actually a more general result is true: If $X$ is a complex space (maybe not smooth) and if $H^1(X,\mathcal I)$ is zero for all coherent sheaves of ideals $\mathcal I\subset \mathcal O_X$, then $X$ is …

Errata for Atiyah–Macdonald

Dear Tim, on page 31 they consider a ring $A$ and two $A$- algebras defined by their structural ring morphisms $f:A\to B$ and $g:A\to C$. They then define the tensor product as a ring $D=B\otimes _A C …
