Exterior powers of localized modules #
If f : M →ₗ[R] N exhibits N as an extension of scalars to an R-algebra A, the
exterior power of N is the scalar extension of the exterior power of M. The comparison
sends a ⊗ (m₁ ∧ ⋯ ∧ mₙ) to a • (f m₁ ∧ ⋯ ∧ f mₙ) and is natural in maps commuting
with f.
In particular, a map on exterior powers sending each wedge to the wedge of the images is a
localization when f is a localization. This allows the sectionwise exterior power of a
quasicoherent sheaf to be computed on basic affine opens.
The construction combines TauCeti.exteriorPower.equivBaseChange with Mathlib's
IsBaseChange.equiv and IsLocalizedModule.isBaseChange.

Instances For
The scalar-extension comparison sends a pure tensor of a wedge to the scaled wedge of the images.
The inverse comparison sends the wedge of the images to the tensor with coefficient one.
The comparison map ⋀[R]^n M → ⋀[A]^n N, x ↦ h.exteriorPowerEquiv n (1 ⊗ x), which sends
m₁ ∧ ⋯ ∧ mₙ to f m₁ ∧ ⋯ ∧ f mₙ, exhibits ⋀[A]^n N as the base change of ⋀[R]^n M to
A.
The exterior-power scalar-extension comparison is natural in commuting maps of the original and extended modules.
A map that sends wedges to the wedges of a localization map is itself a localization.
The scalar structure on the exterior power is retained as a parameter so this also applies
to restriction-of-scalars presentations of the target. Its tower uses the scalar action of
that module explicitly: the actions inferred directly from the submodule carrier need not
be the scalar projections of the caller's Module R instance.
