Is there a relation between Gelfand duality and the spectrum of a ring (with its Zariski topology)?
Compare the following two results:
Thm A) Let $A$ be a commutative $C^*$-algebra and let $X$ be its Gelfand spectrum. Gelfand duality says that there's a natural isometric $*$-isomorphism from $A$ to ...

Is this functor $\mathcal{F}: \text{Sch}/\mathbb{Q}\longrightarrow \text{Sets}$ a sheaf?
Consider the functor $\mathcal{F}: \text{Sch}/\mathbb{Q}\longrightarrow \text{Sets}$, defined by sending a scheme $X$ with coordinate ring $\mathcal{O}(X)$ to the set of orbits $B(\mathcal{O}(X))\...

On the generalization of a Cech-to-sheaf type spectral sequence
Let $(X,O_{X})$ be a ringed space and $\mathcal{F^{\bullet}}$ be a bounded below complex of $O_{X}$-modules on $(X,O_{X})$. On [Stacks Project 20.25.1][1] it is shown that there is a weakly convergent ...

Infinite uniform dimension $\Rightarrow$ infinitely many idempotents in a localization of a quotient
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with $1$ such that its uniform dimension is infinity, equivalently, $$\sup\{k \mid R \text{ contains a direct sum of $k$ nonzero ideals }\}=\infty.$$ How can we ...

When every localization of the polynomial ring over a ring has finitely many idempotents
Let $R$ be a commutative ring such that every localization ring $R_r$ has finitely many idempotents for each non nilpotent element $r\in R$. Why dose every localization ring $R[x]_{f(x)}$ have ...

When minimal prime ideals are maximal with respect to not containing an element
Let $\{ P_i \}$ be the set of all minimal prime ideals of a commutative ring $R $. Is there any conditions on $R $ under which there exists an element $x\in R $ such that $P_i $ is an ideal of $R $ ...

When localization is indecomposable
We know that if $R $ is a domain then any localization of $R $ at any multiplicative subset of $R $ is indecomposable, that is, has no non trivial idempotents. Now let $R $ be a commutative ring with ...

When are the cotangent and tangent sheaves isomorphic?
Let $X$ be an $S$-scheme. Under what conditions, if any, is the cotangent sheaf $\Omega_{X/S}$ isomorphic to the tangent sheaf $\Theta_{X/S}$ as $\mathcal{O}_X$- modules? For example, given a ...

Is the perfection (perfect closure) presheaf a sheaf?
The perfection of a ring $A$ of prime characteristic $p$ is the perfect ring $A_\rm{pf}=$ lim{$A\to A\to ...$} where all maps are Frobenius. It does not commute with products, as was shown by YCor in ...

Finitely generated sheaf of algebras over geometric points
I would like to ask if the following is true or not: Let $S$ a scheme and $X$ a $S$-scheme which is proper and flat. Let $\mathcal{F}$ a sheaf of $\mathcal{O}_{X}$-algebras over $X$. Let's suppose ...

Affine scheme on spec(A) of a ring A as the sheafification of a pre-sheave on spec(A)?
It is obvious that there is a parallel between the definition of structure sheaf of $\operatorname{Spec}(A)$
versus the sheafification of a pre-sheaf.
The definition of the sheaf $\mathscr F^+$ ...

Wikipedia's definition of 'locally free sheaf'
Let $R$ be a, say, noetherian ring and $M$ an $R$-module. The Wikipedia article on 'locally free sheaf' tells me that the following two statements are equivalent:

What does a projective resolution mean geometrically?
For R a commutative ring and M an R-module, we can always find a projective resolution of M which replaces M by a sequence of projective R-modules. But as R is commutative, we can consider the affine ...
