Let $mathcal{E}$ be a locally free sheaf on $mathbb{P}^n_A=mathbb{P}^ntimes_{Spec k} Spec A$, where $A$ is a finitely generated algebra over a field $k$. By a well known theorem (see e.g. Hartshorne's Algebraic Geometry, Thm 5.19) $H^0(mathbb{P}^n_A, mathcal{E})$ is a finitely generated $A$- module.




  1. Is it true that $H^0(mathbb{P}^n_A, mathcal{E})$ is a projective module?


Let $B$ be a finitely generated $k$-algebra, $f: Spec B to Spec A$ a morphism and $f^*mathcal{E}$ the pullback of $mathcal{E}$ to $Spec B$.




  1. Is it true that $H^0(mathbb{P}^n_A, mathcal{E})otimes _A B= H^0(mathbb{P}^n_B, f^*mathcal{E})$ ?


1 and 2 above are true when $mathcal {E}$ is a direct sum of line bundles of the form $mathcal O(n)$. I was wondering if they are true for general $mathcal{E}$.

The answer to both questions is negative, see counterexamples below.



1) Let $A = k[x,y,z]$, $n = 1$. Note that
$$
H^1(mathbb{P}^n_A,O(-2)) cong A.
$$

Consider the extension
$$
0 to O(-2) to E to O oplus O oplus O to 0
$$

whose extension class is $(x,y,z)$. Then the cohomolopgy exact sequence
$$
0 to H^0(mathbb{P}^n_A,E) to A oplus A oplus A stackrel{(x,y,z)}to A
$$

shows that $H^0(mathbb{P}^n_A,E)$ is reflexive but not locally free (hence not projective). In fact, this is the simplest example of a reflexive non-locally free sheaf.



2) Take $A = k[x,y,z,w]$ and define $E$ as the extension
$$
0 to O(-2) to E to O oplus O oplus O oplus O to 0
$$

whose extension class is $(x,y,z,w)$. Let $B = k$ with the morphism $A to B$ defined by $x,y,z,w mapsto 0$. Then $f^*E cong O(-2) oplus O oplus O oplus O oplus O$, hence
$$
H^0(mathbb{P}^n_B,f^*E) = B oplus B oplus B oplus B.
$$

On the other hand, tensoring
$$
0 to H^0(mathbb{P}^n_A,E) to A oplus A oplus A oplus A stackrel{(x,y,z,w)}to A to B to 0
$$

by $B$ (over $A$), we deduce
$$
H^0(mathbb{P}^n_A,E) otimes_A B cong Tor_2^A(B,B) cong B^{oplus 6}.
$$
