The exterior-power pullback comparison for module presheaves #
Pushforward, including restriction of scalars, has a canonical comparison from the exterior
power of a pushforward to the pushforward of the exterior power. On sections it sends a wedge
over the source coefficient ring to the same wedge over the target coefficient ring.
Taking its mate under the pullback--pushforward adjunction constructs a natural map
α* (⋀ⁿ M) ⟶ ⋀ⁿ (α* M) for pullback of module presheaves. Only the adjunction is needed
for this construction. This supplies the sectionwise input to exterior-power pullback comparisons
for sheaves. Unlike precomposition alone, restriction of scalars does not generally give an
isomorphism of exterior powers. When the coefficient map is an isomorphism, the pushforward
comparison is invertible.
In degree one the pushforward comparison is the identity, read through the identifications
⋀¹ M ≅ M.
The construction uses the module-level restriction-of-scalars comparison and Mathlib's
CategoryTheory.mateEquiv for the pullback--pushforward adjunction. The wedge formula specifies
the pushforward comparison, and the unit equation specifies the pullback comparison.

Pushforward of module presheaves carries the canonical exterior-power comparison. It changes the coefficient ring of a wedge, without changing its factors.
Instances For
The presheaf comparison sends a decomposable wedge to the wedge with the same factors, now balanced over the target ring.
In degree one, the pushforward comparison is the identity of α_* M, read through the
identifications of first exterior powers with the presheaves themselves.
