Pullback of the determinant of a vector bundle #
Let f : X ⟶ Y be a morphism of schemes and E a finite locally free sheaf of constant rank r
on Y. Since E is quasicoherent, the canonical exterior-power comparison
f^* (⋀ʳ E) ⟶ ⋀ʳ (f^* E) is an isomorphism
(TauCeti.AlgebraicGeometry.isIso_pullbackExteriorPowerComparison_app). It therefore gives an
isomorphism of invertible sheaves f^* (det E) ≅ det (f^* E), natural in E.
These comparisons are coherent: along the identity the comparison is induced by the identity
isomorphism of pullback, and along a composite f ≫ g it is the composite of the comparisons
along g and f, through the composition isomorphisms of pullback of invertible sheaves and of
fixed-rank sheaves.
Without a constant rank, the determinant det E = ⋀^{rank E} E is the exterior power in the
locally constant degree rank E. Its pullback is compared with det (f^* E) through the
exterior-power comparison f^* (⋀^{rank E} E) ⟶ ⋀^{rank E ∘ f} (f^* E), again an isomorphism
since E is quasicoherent
(TauCeti.AlgebraicGeometry.isIso_pullbackLocallyConstantExteriorPowerComparison_app), and the
identification rank (f^* E) = rank E ∘ f (FiniteLocallyFreeSheaf.rank_pullback).

Pulling back the determinant of a finite locally free sheaf of constant rank r is naturally
isomorphic to taking the determinant of its pullback: f^* (det E) ≅ det (f^* E). The forward map
is the canonical exterior-power comparison f^* (⋀ʳ E) ⟶ ⋀ʳ (f^* E), which is invertible because
E is quasicoherent.

Pullback of the determinant in locally constant rank. For a morphism of schemes
f : X ⟶ Y and a finite locally free sheaf E on Y, the pullback of det E = ⋀^{rank E} E
is the determinant of f^* E. The forward map is the exterior-power comparison
f^* (⋀^{rank E} E) ⟶ ⋀^{rank E ∘ f} (f^* E), an isomorphism because E is quasicoherent,
followed by the identification rank (f^* E) = rank E ∘ f.
