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.
