If $f:Erightarrow S$ is an elliptic curve over a scheme $S$ (so $f$ is proper and smooth of relative dimension one with geometrically connected fibers of genus one, equipped with a section $0:Srightarrow E$), then is the sheaf $underlineomega_E/S:=f_*Omega_E/S^1$ actually free of rank one? According to the statement of Grothendieck-Serre duality in Hida's book Geometric Modular Forms and Elliptic Curves, there should be a canonical isomorphism $underlineomega_E/ScongmathcalHom_mathscrO_S(R^1f_*mathscrO_E,mathscrO_S)$, and the first result on elliptic curves in this book is that $R^1f_*mathscrO_EcongmathscrO_S$. It's also not clear to me whether $S$ is being assumed (locally) Noetherian, but if that's necessary for Grothendieck-Serre duality to hold, then I'm fine with assuming it. I can't find another reference with a statement of Grothendieck-Serre duality in this generality which does not use the language of derived categories (which I unfortunately don't understand).



The reason I'm kind of skeptical about this is that in Hida's book, as well as in Katz-Mazur, it is said that $underlineomega_E/S$ is invertible, so that an $mathscrO_S$-basis $omega$ for $underlineomega_E/S$ can be found locally on $S$. If the invertible sheaf in question were really trivial then one would be able to choose a global $mathscrO_S$-basis for $underlineomega_E/S$, and there would be no reason to talk about doing so locally. Hida goes on to say that, choosing an $mathscrO_S$-basis $omega$ locally on $S$ allows one to regard $(Omega_E/S^1,omega)$ as a relative effective Cartier divisor in $E/S$, which also doesn't make complete sense to me because if we can only find $omega$ locally, how are we getting a global section $omegain H^0(E,Omega_E/S^1)=H^0(S,underlineomega_E/S)$ (unless $underlineomega_E/S$ really is trivial)?

The isomorphism coming from duality is correct, but it is not true that the invertible sheaf $R^1f_*O_E$ on $S$ is trivial in general.



Here is a down-to-earth construction of an example where $f_*Omega_E/S$ is not free. Let $S=mathrmSpec(R)$ be a domain (regular of dimension $1$ if you want) such that $2in R^*$ and $mathrmPic(S)=H^1(S, O_S^*)$ has an element of order $4$. Represent this element by a $1$-cocycle $(u_ij)_ij$ with $u_ijin O_S(U_icap U_j)^*$ where $ U_i _i$ is some open affine covering of $S$. By hypothesis of $4$-torsion, there exist $v_iin O_S(U_i)^*$ such that $u_ij^4=v_iv_j^-1$ for all $i,j$.



Let $E_i/U_i$ be the elliptic curve defined by the affine equation
$$ y_i^2=x_i^3+ v_i x_i.$$
Over $U_icap U_j$, the elliptic curves $E_i, E_j$ are isomorphic by the change of variables
$$y_j=u_ij^3y_i, quad x_j=u_ij^2x_i.$$
The cocycle condition on the $u_ij$'s insures that the $E_i$'s glue together and gives rise to an elliptic curve $E/S$.



Now let's compute the differential sheaf on $E$. On $E_i$, a canonical basis of $Omega_E_i/U_i$ is $omega_i:=dx_i/y_i$ and we have $omega_j=u_ij^-1omega_i$ above $U_icap U_j$. If $omega_E/S$ is free and generated by $omega$, then writing $omega_i=u_iomega|_E_i$ with $u_iin O(U_i)^*$, we get $u_ij=u_iu_j^-1$. Hence the class of $(u_ij)$ in $H^1(S, O_S^*)$ is trivial, contradiction.



One can show that over a Dedekind domain (or any ring I think), $f_*Omega_E/S$ is free if and only $E/S$ has a global smooth Weierstrass equation. It is well known (?) that this doesn't hold in general over number fields.

  • Dear QiL, the phrase " ...has an element of order $4$ and $2in R^*$ " is difficult to scan : it seems to imply that there are two orders involved and that they are in $R^*$ ! Might I humbly suggest that you write $2in R^*$ somewhere earlier in the sentence? (I have upvoted your answer , needless to say).
