Sections of the internal Hom of sheaves of modules #

Let R be a sheaf of commutative rings on a small site, and let M and N be sheaves of R-modules. The internal Hom š“—om(M, N) of sheaves of modules is defined as the sheafification of the internal Hom of the underlying presheaves of modules (SheafOfModules.ihom_obj). This file shows that the sheafification does nothing: the presheaf internal Hom of two sheaves is already a sheaf. Its sections over U are the morphisms M|_U ⟶ N|_U of restrictions to the slice over U (TauCeti.PresheafOfModules.ihomObjEquiv), and since N is a sheaf, compatible local morphisms of restrictions glue uniquely: under this identification the presheaf internal Hom has the sheaf of local linear morphisms PresheafOfModules.linearHom M N as its underlying presheaf of sets. This needs no sheaf condition on the source M.

Consequently the sections of the sheaf internal Hom are computed exactly as for sheaves of morphisms: a section of š“—om(M, N) over U is a morphism of sheaves of modules M.over U ⟶ N.over U, compatibly with restriction and naturally in both M and N. This is the sectionwise description on which the comparison of š“—om(M, N) with restriction to a slice rests, for sources M that are only locally free.

The presheaf internal Hom from a presheaf of modules into a sheaf of modules is a sheaf: its underlying presheaf of sets is the sheaf of local linear morphisms. No sheaf condition is needed on the source.

The sections over U of the internal Hom š“—om(M, N) of sheaves of modules are the morphisms M.over U ⟶ N.over U of restrictions to the slice over U.

    The sections equivalence is natural in the target: applying š“—om(M, α) to a section corresponds to postcomposing the morphism of restrictions with the restriction of α.
