Sheaf of nonzero rational functions on an irreducible variety
ID: sheaf-of-nonzero-rational-functions-on-an-irreducible-variety
For an irreducible algebraic variety with function field , this sheaf of abelian groups assigns to every nonempty open set, with identity restriction maps, and assigns the trivial group to the empty set. Irreducibility ensures that any two nonempty open subsets meet, so these sections satisfy the sheaf gluing axiom. It is a flasque sheaf and has zero higher sheaf cohomology.
