Global generation of line bundles #
A line bundle is globally generated if every point has a global section which generates its
stalk. Equivalently, the nonvanishing loci of its global sections cover the scheme. A morphism
to the residue skyscraper detects a generating section whenever its image is nonzero. This
criterion turns surjectivity of restriction to a point into generation of the line bundle there.
Global generation is equivalent to the existence of Mathlib's
SheafOfModules.GeneratingSections, including the epimorphism from a free sheaf onto the
line bundle.

An invertible sheaf has a nonzero morphism to the residue skyscraper at every point.
A section of an invertible sheaf generates at x if some morphism to the residue
skyscraper at x sends it to a nonzero element.
A line bundle is globally generated if, at each point, some global section generates the stalk.
