Global sections of quasicoherent modules on an affine scheme #

Mathlib's AlgebraicGeometry.tildeEquiv identifies quasicoherent modules on Spec R with R-modules. Consequently an epimorphism between quasicoherent modules is surjective on global sections, even when the epimorphism is taken in the category of all sheaves of modules.

Consequently, global sections preserve short exact sequences whose middle and right terms are quasicoherent. This is the affine exactness step used in Serre's affine acyclicity theorem; see Hartshorne, Algebraic Geometry, Chapter III, Theorem 3.5.

The file also records the base-ring action on affine global sections and extensionality of sections by restriction to basic opens.

Taking global sections preserves a short exact sequence whose middle and right terms are quasicoherent sheaves on Spec R. The exactness hypothesis is in the ambient category of sheaves of modules.

The base ring R acts on the global sections of a sheaf of modules on Spec A through A.

The canonical affine chart is a morphism over Spec R when its coordinate ring carries the algebra structure obtained by restricting the base-ring map.

Two sections over U of a sheaf of modules on Spec A agree if their restrictions to every basic open D(f) ⊆ U agree.
