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.)

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or properties:

    Mathematics is merely the means to a general and ultimate knowledge of man.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.
    John Locke (1632–1704)
