A line bundle on a scheme is a locally free sheaf of rank one. Its global sections can define a morphism to projective space when they have no common zero.

The -module is a locally free sheaf of finite rank if every has an open neighborhood and a finite integer for whichThe rank is locally constant and is therefore constant on each connected component.

The adjunction morphism , together with , givesAdjunction between the inverse image sheaf and direct image sheaf turns this into the projection formula for sheaves morphismOn local sections it sends a pure tensor over to over .
Whether this morphism is an isomorphism is local on . If for finite , its restriction becomes the canonical identificationThus the projection-formula morphism is an isomorphism whenever is locally free of finite rank.

For a morphism of ringed spaces, there is a natural morphismIt is an isomorphism when is a locally free sheaf of finite rank, because the claim is local and then reduces to distributivity over a finite direct sum.
