Jan 5, 2010 at 15:44 comment added shenghao That's an interesting example, but I hope (might be wrong) this phenomena won't happen "geometrically", i.e. for varieties over alg closed field k.

Jan 5, 2010 at 4:37 comment added Emerton I think this counts as a blunder. Let me know if you agree with the correction above. (Hopefully there won't be too many more iterations!)

Jan 5, 2010 at 4:08 comment added shenghao typo: "section" should be "second", as in "section exact sequence".
Jan 5, 2010 at 4:06 comment added shenghao I have one more dumb question: it seems that the outer two maps being zero doesn't imply the inner map is also zero. Here's an "example": The first exact sequence is 0 -> Z -> Z^2 -> Z -> 0, where the first map sends a to (a,0) and the second sends (a,b) to b. The section exact sequence is similar, with Z replaced by Z/2Z. The middle map sends (a,b) to (b mod 2, 0), and the two outer maps are both zero.

Jan 5, 2010 at 3:40 comment added Emerton Yes, I assumed that $F$ is flat. The case $F = (F_1)$ is of course easier! I have edited the answer to take into account the non-flat case.

Jan 5, 2010 at 3:24 comment added shenghao Thanks! But why do we have that short exact sequence? I mean if F is not flat, it's only right exact. For instance F can be a constant system (F_1).
