Sections of finite morphisms #
For a finite morphism f : X ⟶ Spec R, the global sections Γ(X, ⊤) form a finite
R-module. AlgebraicGeometry.Scheme.Hom.moduleFinite_appTop states this for an existing
R-algebra structure compatible with the map of global sections. It transports Mathlib's
Scheme.Hom.finite_appTop across the canonical isomorphism R ≅ Γ(Spec R, ⊤).
This finiteness is used to compute the rank of a finite morphism over a field as the dimension of its global sections.
If g : Y ⟶ S is moreover flat and locally of finite presentation (finite locally free), its
sections Γ(Y, g⁻¹ U) over an affine open U of S form a projective Γ(S, U)-module
(AlgebraicGeometry.Scheme.Hom.projective_app).
Finite, flat and locally finitely presented morphisms each respect isomorphisms
(TauCeti.isFinite_respectsIso, TauCeti.flat_respectsIso and
TauCeti.locallyOfFinitePresentation_respectsIso).
A finite morphism to the spectrum of a commutative ring has module-finite global sections,
for any R-algebra structure on Γ(X, ⊤) given by the map of global sections.
The sections of a finite, flat, locally finitely presented morphism g : Y ⟶ S over an affine
open U of S form a projective module over Γ(S, U).
Finite morphisms of schemes respect isomorphisms.
Flat morphisms of schemes respect isomorphisms.
Morphisms of schemes locally of finite presentation respect isomorphisms.
