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.
