Jul 19, 2012 at 11:51 comment added Damian Rössler @Colin McLarty. You are right about the ideal sheaves of course... sorry for the silly question.
Jul 18, 2012 at 15:41 comment added Yosemite Sam OK, got it. thanks for clearing that up.
Jul 18, 2012 at 15:24 comment added Colin McLarty More fully: Does every sheaf of ideals $\mathscr{I}\subseteq \mathscr{O}_{\mbox{et}X}$ of the etale structure sheaf of a Noetherian scheme have a finite set of local sections such that every section is covered by a linear combination of restrictions of those? This reduces to: For a Noetherian ring $R$ and etale sheaf of ideals $\mathscr{I}$ on $R$ is there a faithfully flat etale ring extension $R\rightarrow S$ such that for every etale $S\rightarrow T$ every section in $\mathscr{I}(T)$ is a linear combination of restrictions of sections in $\mathscr{I}(S)$?
Jul 18, 2012 at 14:34 comment added Colin McLarty No. I don't think so. Over the spectrum of the integers consider the ideal which is 0 over every open including (2) and is the unit ideal over every open which does not include (2).
Jul 18, 2012 at 7:54 comment added Damian Rössler Isn't every sheaf of ideals quasi-coherent, if the scheme is noetherian (and thus every étale open also is) ?
Jul 17, 2012 at 23:11 comment added Colin McLarty But I need not only quasi-coherent (sheaves of) ideals. I want to know this for all (sheaves of) ideals.
Jul 17, 2012 at 22:44 comment added Yosemite Sam OK guys, I'm being really really thick right now. What's the difference with the Zariski structure sheaf? Aren't the two categories (etale/zariski quasi-coherent modules) equivalent for schemes (via the forget morphism)?
Jul 17, 2012 at 19:17 comment added Colin McLarty Yes, though I would write $U\mapsto \mathscr{O}_U(U)$ to define it.
Jul 17, 2012 at 18:01 comment added Martin Brandenburg The sheaf $U \mapsto \mathcal{O}_X(U)$ defined on étale opens $U \to X$.
Jul 17, 2012 at 16:00 comment added Yosemite Sam what is the etale structure sheaf?
