The complement is covered by the principal affine opens . Every finite intersection is again a principal affine open, so this is an acyclic cover for . Its Čech cochain complex has no degree- term because there is no intersection of distinct cover members. Therefore
Translate to the origin. The complement has the affine cover , and its second Čech cohomology isThe class of is nonzero, so . On the other hand, , and the first part with gives . Since sheaf cohomology is invariant under scheme isomorphism, the two complements are not isomorphic.
