Evaluation is surjective as a sheaf morphism: near , any prescribed value is supplied by a constant holomorphic function. We therefore have a short exact sequence of sheaveswhere is the point ideal sheaf and the sheaf of holomorphic functions. By part (c), the skyscraper sheaf is flasque, so and for .
On the connected compact elliptic curve, the maximum modulus principle makes every global holomorphic function constant. Consequently , and evaluation on global sections is an isomorphism. Also : by Serre duality for compact complex manifolds, its dual is , generated by the nowhere-zero form descended from . Higher cohomology of vanishes by the Dolbeault theorem in complex dimension one.
