Lemma 1.2.3. Let α ∈ Č2 (X, O ∗ X ), and let U′ be a refinement <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> an open cover U<br />
<strong>on</strong> which α can be represented. Then we have an equivalence <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>categories</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
Mod(X, α, U) ∼ = Mod(X, α, U ′ ).<br />
Before we prove this result, it is useful to recall the following result <strong>on</strong> gluing<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>sheaves</str<strong>on</strong>g> in the étale topology.<br />
Lemma 1.2.4 (Gluing Sheaves in the Étale Topology). Let X be a scheme,<br />
endowed with the étale topology, let U = {ρi : Ui → X} be an open cover <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> X, and<br />
suppose we are given for each i a sheaf Fi <strong>on</strong> Ui, and for each i, j an isomorphism<br />
such that for each i, j, k,<br />
ϕij : (p ij<br />
j )∗ Fj|Ui×XUj<br />
→ (pij<br />
i )∗ Fi|Ui×XUj<br />
(p ijk<br />
ij )∗ (ϕij) ◦ (p ijk<br />
jk )∗ (ϕjk) ◦ (p ijk<br />
ki )∗ (ϕki) = id (p ijk<br />
i ) ∗ Fi ,<br />
where p ijk<br />
ij is the projecti<strong>on</strong> from Ui ×X UJ ×X Uk to Ui ×X Uj, and similarly for<br />
the other projecti<strong>on</strong>s. Then there exists a unique sheaf F <strong>on</strong> X, together with<br />
isomorphisms ψi : ρ ∗ i F ∼ → Fi such that for each i, j,<br />
(p ij<br />
i )∗ (ψi) = ϕij ◦ (p ij<br />
j )∗ (ψj)<br />
<strong>on</strong> Ui ×X Uj. We say loosely that F is obtained by gluing the <str<strong>on</strong>g>sheaves</str<strong>on</strong>g> Fi via the<br />
isomorphisms ϕij.<br />
Remark 1.2.5. We have phrased this lemma using pull-backs instead <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> restricti<strong>on</strong><br />
maps in order to make apparent its relati<strong>on</strong>ship to the standard lemma in descent<br />
theory (see, for example, [30, I.2.22]). From here <strong>on</strong>, however, we’ll revert to the<br />
more c<strong>on</strong>venient notati<strong>on</strong> where if F is a sheaf <strong>on</strong> a space X, and ϕ : U → X is<br />
an étale open set, we write F |U for ϕ ∗ F , and if f : F → G is a map <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>sheaves</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
<strong>on</strong> X, we write f|U for ϕ ∗ (f). See also the definiti<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> a presheaf in [30, p.47].<br />
Pro<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>. (We <strong>on</strong>ly sketch a pro<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>, since this is well-known. For a topological space,<br />
see [22, Ex. II.1.22].) Let U → X be an open set in the étale topology. Define<br />
F (U) = {(si) ∈ <br />
Fi(Ui ×X U) | ϕij(sj|Ui×XUj×XU) = si|Ui×XUj×XU for all i, j},<br />
and define ψi by<br />
i<br />
ψi(U)((sj)j) = si ∈ Fi(Ui ×X U).<br />
It is now <strong>on</strong>ly a tedious check to see that F is a sheaf and that the collecti<strong>on</strong><br />
{ψi} satisfies the required properties.<br />
The important thing to note, however, is that we have not made any choices<br />
here, and therefore this c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> is entirely functorial.<br />
