Definition 28 (Lec 13): a morphism f : X → Y is a vector bundle of rank n if
there is an open cover {Uᵢ} of Y such that, over each Uᵢ, f is isomorphic
(over Uᵢ) to the trivial affine bundle 𝔸(Fin n; Uᵢ) → Uᵢ.
Instances For
A sheaf of O_X-modules ℱ is locally free of rank r if X admits an open
cover {Uᵢ} such that ℱ|_{Uᵢ} is isomorphic to the free O_{Uᵢ}-module of rank r.
This is the sheaf counterpart of IsVectorBundle.
