<p>It seems that there are many definitions of quasi coherent sheaves(modules). There is a nice page on nLab <a href="http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/quasicoherent+sheaf#quasicoherent%5Fsheaves%5Fover%5Faffine%5Fschemes%5F12" rel="nofollow">quasi coherent sheaves</a></p> <p>My questions are:</p> <ol> <li><p>Are there any other definitions of quasi coherent sheaves? For what?(I mean in which situation, they should be redefined to satisfy the working environment)</p></li> <li><p>How are they related?</p></li> </ol> <p>For question 2, nLab says these definitions are equivalent. There are four definitions in nLab. It seems except first definitions, the other three are equivalent, just restate in different language: i.e presheaves &lt;---> pseudo functors &lt;---> fibered categories. </p> <p>But are these definitions <strong>exactly the same as the classical definitions?</strong> (as locally presentable modules)</p>
