A section s of a sheaf of O_X-modules F over U is a torsion section iff it is annihilated by some nonzero scalar in O_X(U).

Instances For

    A sheaf of O_X-modules is torsion iff every section over every nonempty open is a torsion section.

    Instances For

      A sheaf of O_X-modules is torsion-free iff its only torsion section over any nonempty open is the zero section.

      Instances For

        On an integral scheme, being a torsion section coincides with membership in the torsion submodule of the sections, since O_X(U) is a domain.

        The submodule of torsion sections of F over U.

        Instances For

          Membership in torsionSections F U is the same as being a torsion section.

          A sheaf is torsion-free iff the torsion submodule of its sections is zero on every nonempty open.

          Torsion subsheaf (Def 39, Lec 22): on a Noetherian integral scheme, for any sheaf of O_X-modules F there exists a subsheaf T ↪ F whose sections over any nonempty open are exactly the torsion sections of F.
