A local coordinate generates the ideal of vanishing holomorphic germs #
On a complex curve, a chart centered at a point gives a holomorphic germ vanishing at that point. Every holomorphic germ vanishing there is divisible by this coordinate germ. Thus the kernel of stalk evaluation is the principal ideal generated by any centered chart. This is the local defining equation for the ideal sheaf of a point, and the local algebra used in twisting a divisor sheaf by a point.
The division is holomorphic even at the center: Mathlib's dslope extends the difference
quotient analytically there. The statements apply to charts of the maximal differentiable
atlas and need neither compactness nor connectedness of the curve.

Instances For
The centered coordinate germ is the germ of the translated coordinate section.
The germ of a centered chart coordinate evaluates to zero at its center.
A centered coordinate has a nonzero germ: a chart cannot be constant on a neighborhood of its center.
A holomorphic section, extended by zero outside its domain and written in a local chart, is analytic at every point of its domain in the chart source.
A holomorphic germ is divisible by a centered chart coordinate exactly when it vanishes at the center. The quotient is holomorphic also at the coordinate's zero.
The ideal of holomorphic germs vanishing at x is generated by any centered local chart
coordinate. This identifies the local ideal of a point without a choice of preferred chart.
