Coherent sheaves on the spectrum of a Noetherian ring #
For a Noetherian ring R, finitely presented sheaves on Spec R are precisely the sheaves
associated with finite R-modules. Restricting the tilde/global-sections adjunction gives an
equivalence with FGModuleCat R. In particular, this category of coherent sheaves is abelian,
and its inclusion into all sheaves of modules is exact.
The kernel and cokernel of a morphism of coherent sheaves, computed in all module sheaves, are again coherent. Thus short exact sequences of coherent sheaves can be used in sheaf cohomology without changing their ambient kernels or cokernels. The cokernel result needs no Noetherian hypothesis; the kernel result does.
The construction follows Mathlib's AlgebraicGeometry.tildeEquiv and uses the finite-presentation
comparison for tilde sheaves, rather than a new definition of coherence.

Coherent sheaves on Spec R are equivalent to finite R-modules. The functors are tilde
and global sections, with the unit and counit inherited from the tilde adjunction.
