Ideal Sheaf - General Properties

General Properties

  • If f: AB is a homomorphism between two sheaves of rings on the same space X, the kernel of f is an ideal sheaf in A.
  • Conversely, for any ideal sheaf J in a sheaf of rings A, there is a natural structure of a sheaf of rings on the quotient sheaf A/J. Note that the canonical map
Γ(U, A)/Γ(U, J) → Γ(U, A/J)
for open subsets U is injective, but not surjective in general. (See sheaf cohomology.)

    A drop of water has the properties of the sea, but cannot exhibit a storm. There is beauty of a concert, as well as of a flute; strength of a host, as well as of a hero.
