Trace of a morphism of sheaves












1












$begingroup$


$underline {Background}$:Suppose $X$ be a scheme and $mathcal F$ and $mathcal G$ are two sheaves of $mathcal O_X$ modules.



Also assume that $exists ${U}$ $ a cover of $X$ by open sets such that each $mathcal F(U),mathcal G(U)$ are finitely free $mathcal O(U)$ modules.



Let $ exists phi:mathcal Ftomathcal G$ a sheaf of $mathcal O_X$ modules.



$underline {Question}$:what is the meaning of the statement "trace$phi=0$"



$underline {Guess}$:Does it mean for all open set $V$ of $X$



$phi(V):mathcal F(V)to mathcal G(V)$ has trace of the matrix of $phi(V)=0$



But this makes sense only for $V=U$ because,we only have $phi(U)$ is a morphism between 2 finitely free $mathcal O(U)$ modules,and hence its matrix w.r.to canonical bases exists.



So,I would like to know the appropriate definition of trace being $0$ and any text which mentions it clearly.



Any help from anyone is welcome.

As you say, the trace of $phi$ is only meaningful when $mathcal{G}=mathcal{F}$. Slightly more generally, though it still makes sense to talk about the trace of $phi$ being $0$ if you have a chosen isomorphism $mathcal{G}congmathcal{F}otimesmathcal{L}$ for some line bundle $mathcal{L}$. Indeed, picking a local trivialization of $mathcal{L}$, we get local isomorphisms $mathcal{G}congmathcal{F}$ which we can use to compute the trace. Now of course the trace will depend on the trivialization of $mathcal{L}$ chosen, but changing the trivialization just multiplies the isomorphism by some invertible section of $mathcal{O}_X$, and so will not change whether the trace is $0$.



Another way to see it is that a morphism $mathcal{F}tomathcal{F}otimesmathcal{L}$ is equivalent to a morphism $mathcal{L}^veetomathcal{F}otimesmathcal{F}^vee$. There is a canonical "trace" map $mathcal{F}otimesmathcal{F}^veetomathcal{O}_X$ (just the evaluation pairing) and so we can compose to get a morphism $mathcal{L}^veetomathcal{O}_X$ (or equivalently, a section of $mathcal{L}$) which we can call the "trace" of $phi$.

@ Eric Wolfsey,If I understand you correctly then are you trying to say the following? $phi|_U:mathcal{F}|_Utomathcal {F}|_U$ with $U$ local trivialization of $mathcal L$ $Rightarrow phi|_Uinmathcal End(mathcal F)(U))$ $Rightarrow tr(U)(phi|_U)in mathcal O(U)$ and we mean by tr$phi=0$ that all $ tr(U)(phi|_U)=0$ for all member of that trivialization.So it does not depend upon the trivialization of $mathcal F$

Wolfsey,can you explain why it does not depend upon trivilizations of $mathcal L$

Changing the trivialization of $mathcal{L}|_U$ just amounts to multiplying the chosen isomorphism $mathcal{G}|_Utomathcal{F}|_U$ by some invertible element $ainmathcal{O}(U)$. So, when we turn $phi|_U$ into a matrix, we just multiply that matrix by the scalar $a$, which multiplies its trace by $a$. Since $a$ is invertible, this does not change whether the trace is $0$.
