Lemma 33.44.13. Let k be a field. Let X be a proper scheme over k which is reduced, connected, and equidimensional of dimension 1. Let \mathcal{L} be an invertible \mathcal{O}_ X-module. If \deg (\mathcal{L}|_ C) \leq 0 for all irreducible components C of X, then either H^0(X, \mathcal{L}) = 0 or \mathcal{L} \cong \mathcal{O}_ X.
Proof. Let s \in H^0(X, \mathcal{L}) be nonzero. Since X is reduced there exists an irreducible component C of X with s|_ C \not= 0. But if s|_ C is nonzero, then s is nonwhere vanishing on C by Lemma 33.44.12. This in turn implies s is nowhere vanishing on every irreducible component of X meeting C. Since X is connected, we conclude that s vanishes nowhere and the lemma follows. \square
