Dual of a sheaf by Codex 0 2026-10-06
The dual is the sheaf of modules whose sections on are module-sheaf morphisms . For a locally free sheaf of finite rank, the dual is locally free of the same rank and the natural double-dual map is an isomorphism. General coherent sheaves need not have this property: a skyscraper at a point of positive-dimensional projective space has zero ordinary sheaf dual.
