This paper is devoted to the study of coherent sheaves on non reduced curves that can be locally embedded in smooth surfaces. If Y is such a curve then there is a filtration C ⊂ C2 ⊂ ... ⊂ Cn = Y such that C is the reduced curve associated to Y, and for very P ∈ C there exists z ∈ OY,P such that (zi) is the ideal of Ci in OY,P. We define, using canonical filtrations, new invariants of coherent sheaves on Y: the generalized rank and degree, and use them to state a Riemann-Roch theorem for sheaves...
In this article it is shown that any family of curves can be altered into a semi-stable family. This implies that if is an excellent scheme of dimension at most 2 and is a separated integral scheme of finite type over , then can be altered into a regular scheme. This result is stronger then the results of [ Smoothness, semi-stability and alterations to appear in Publ. Math. IHES]. In addition we deal with situations where a finite group acts.
We study genus 2 covers of relative elliptic curves over an arbitrary base in which 2 is invertible. Particular emphasis lies on the case that the covering degree is 2. We show that the data in the "basic construction" of genus 2 covers of relative elliptic curves determine the cover in a unique way (up to isomorphism).A classical theorem says that a genus 2 cover of an elliptic curve of degree 2 over a field of characteristic ≠ 2 is birational to a product of two elliptic curves over the projective...
