I am a graduate student working in Algebraic Geometry. My main interest is in moduli of curves, their intersection theory and cohomology.

Dear @Andrew, your answer is great. Thank you very much!

comment The analytic and the algebraic "small disc"
Dear @PiotrPstragowski, thanks for your comments; understanding the correspondence between completion and "taking infinitesimal neighborhood" was exactly the aim of my question :)

comment The analytic and the algebraic "small disc"
:thank you for your answer. In what sense can I view the generic fiber (which is one fiber) as a "family", as you wrote?

comment Why is an intersection product $X.C=0$?
You are perfectly right. Linear equivalence has nothing to do with the kernel of the intersection pairing. Thank you!

comment Blowing up a line $L\subset \mathbb A^3$
Dear @Andrew, thank you for all your explanations. I should look again at "The Geometry of Schemes", where I read about this approach some time ago...

comment Blowing up a line $L\subset \mathbb A^3$
Thank you, @Andrew. I find your first paragraph very clear, but the second one remains a bit obscure to me. For instance why is it fine to consider $R_1$ and $R_2$ defined that way? (i.e. why do we look at $f_i/f_j$?)

comment Möbius strip and $\mathscr O(-1)$. Or $\mathscr O(1)$?
@GeorgesElencwajg: thank you very much for correcting your answer. I really appreciate it.

comment Number of lines passing through a fixed point in a quadric surface
@MichaelJoyce: thank you! and... just one line defined over the base field is an impossible situation, right?

comment Number of lines passing through a fixed point in a quadric surface
So are there at most $2$ lines, or exactly $2$ lines? Does this depend on the base field? Thank you!

comment Is $\{x\in R\mid A \cap Rx=\emptyset\text{ and }A \cap xR=\emptyset\}$ infinite in a ring?
In $B$, do you mean $\emptyset$ (as you wrote) or $0$? Because whatever $A$ you choose, $B=\emptyset$ ($0\in xR$).
