Exterior powers of finite locally free sheaves #

Let R be a sheaf of commutative rings on a small site. Since exterior powers commute with restriction to a slice (SheafOfModules.overExteriorPowerIso) and the n-th exterior power of the free sheaf on a finite linearly ordered type I is free on the n-element subsets of I (SheafOfModules.exteriorPowerFreeIso), a basis of a sheaf of modules M over an object X indexed by a finite type I yields a basis of ⋀ⁿ M over X indexed by the n-element subsets of I. Consequently, exterior powers of finite locally free sheaves are finite locally free, and a local basis with r elements gives a local basis of the n-th exterior power with r.choose n elements. This is the input for the rank formula and the determinant of a vector bundle.
