Which nice/deep elaborations on the (operators <-> sheaves) / (endomorphisms <-> objects) theme are there?
A linear operator $T:V\to V$ on a (say) vector space over a field $k$ is just a $k[T]$-module, and may be viewed as the sheaf $\mathscr F_T$ over $\mathbb A^1_k$, with fibre over $\lambda\in k$ equal ...
