Finite free sheaves of modules are self-dual #

Let R be a sheaf of commutative rings on a small site. In the symmetric monoidal category of sheaves of R-modules, the free sheaf free I on a finite type I is dualizable, with dual free I itself. Writing eᵢ = ιFree i for the basis sections, the evaluation free I ⊗ free I ⟶ R sends eᵢ ⊗ eⱼ to δᵢⱼ, and the coevaluation R ⟶ free I ⊗ free I sends 1 to ∑ i, eᵢ ⊗ eᵢ.

The pairing is obtained from TauCeti.ExactPairing.biproduct: the basic free-sheaf API in TauCeti.Algebra.Category.ModuleCat.Sheaf.Free identifies free I with the biproduct of I copies of the unit R (TauCeti.SheafOfModules.biproductIsoFree), and the unit is canonically self-dual. Finite free sheaves are the local models of finite locally free sheaves, so this is the local input for showing that finite locally free sheaves are dualizable.

Combining the pairing with the closed structure of sheaves of modules identifies the internal Hom out of free I with tensoring by free I, and in particular the dual sheaf 𝓗om(free I, 𝒪) with free I itself. Its basis sections are the dual basis: paired against the basis sections of free I they give δᵢⱼ.
