Questions tagged [schemes]
The concept of scheme mimics the concept of manifold obtained by gluing pieces isomorphic to open balls, but with different "basic" gluing pieces. Properly, a scheme is a locally ringed space locally isomorphic (in the category of locally ringed spaces) to an affine scheme, the spectrum of a commutative ring with unit.

A Consequence from Grauert's Result on Cohomology of Fibres
Let $f:X \to Y$ be a map of schemes and $y \in Y$ a point with residue field $\kappa(y)$. Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a coherent sheaf on $X$. Then there exist a comparison map $$ f_*(\mathcal{F}) \otimes \...

Scheme over base field $k$ which is algebraically (resp. separably) closed in ring of regular functions of $X$
Let $X$ be a scheme over base field $K$ and denote by $R[X](= \Gamma(X,\mathcal{O}_X))$ the ring of regular global functions on $X$. Question: Assume that $k$ is algebraically (resp. separably) closed ...

Conversion between Cartier Divisors, Weil Divisors, Line Bundles and Invertible Sheaves.
I am superficially quoting the following result from Algebraic Geometry by Hartshorne. I was told the following from a brief conversion with a graduate student, and became very interested. Please be ...

On hypersurface singularity.
Suppose that $A \colon= {\Bbb C}[X,Y,Z,W]/f(X,Y,Z,W)$ is a three-dimensional normal ring over ${\Bbb C}$. I am seeking for $f(X,Y,Z,W)$ such that ${\mathrm{Spec}}\,A$ has singularities along a curve $...

When is $\operatorname{Spec}(B)\to\operatorname{Spec}(A)$ an epimorphism is the category of schemes?
This must has been asked several times in this cite, so I apologize in advance if this turns out to be trivial... Let $A,B$ be commutative rings. We know that if $A\to B$ is an epimorphism in $\mathbf{...

Why is the sequence $0\rightarrow\mathscr{O}_C(C)^\ast\rightarrow k(C)^\ast\rightarrow\rm Div(C) \rightarrow Pic(C)\rightarrow 0$ exact?
Definition A curve over a field $k$ is a separated scheme $C$ of finite type over $k$ which is integral of dimension 1. Let $C$ be a normal curve over a field $k$. A divisor is an element of the free ...

What does the residue field have to do with the spectrum?
There is an exercise in Hartshorne, II.2.10, which asks us to describe $\mathrm{Spec}(\mathbb{R}[x])$ and its topology. This ends up being The generic point $(0)$ Closed points of the form $(x - a)$ ...

Reference for proof Serre's equivalence for quasi-coherent sheaves and quotient category
Let $A$ be a graded commutative ring and assume that $A$ is generated by $A_1$ as an $A_0$-algebra. Define $X:= \text{Proj}(A)$ and let $\text{QCoh}(X)$ be the category of quasi-coherent sheaves on $X$...

Question on morphism of group schemes
Say we have two (affine) group schemes, $G$ and $H$, and consider some morphism of functors $\kappa \colon h_{G}\to h_{H}$, where $h_{G}$ and $h_{H}$ are the functors of points to $\mathrm{Grp}$ ...

Is being regular an étale-open condition for closed immersions of locally Noetherian schemes?
Let $i:Z_0\to X_0$ be a closed immersion of locally Noetherian schemes. It is well-known (c.f. Being a regular embedding is an open condition for locally Noetherian schemes) that if i is regular at a ...
