Exterior powers of free sheaves of modules #

Let R be a sheaf of commutative rings on a small site. If I is a finite linearly ordered type, the n-th exterior power of the free sheaf of R-modules on I is free on the set Set.powersetCard I n of n-element subsets of I: over each object W, the sections of free I form a free R(W)-module with basis the sections eᵢ = freeSection i (TauCeti.SheafOfModules.freeBasis), so their n-th exterior power is free with basis the wedge products e_{i₁} ∧ ⋯ ∧ e_{iₙ} for i₁ < ⋯ < iₙ (Mathlib's Module.Basis.exteriorPower). These bases are preserved by the restriction maps, so they identify the sectionwise exterior power of free I with the underlying presheaf of free (Set.powersetCard I n), and sheafifying gives ⋀ⁿ (free I) ≅ free (Set.powersetCard I n).

The sectionwise n-th exterior power of the free sheaf of modules on a finite linearly ordered type I is the underlying presheaf of the free sheaf on the n-element subsets of I: over each object W it maps the basis of ⋀[R(W)]^n induced by freeBasis I W to freeBasis (Set.powersetCard I n) W.
