In order to establish this correspondence, they have to show that descent for vector bundles holds in a situation which is not a classical fpqc-descent situation. They prove this as a consequence of an abstract descent lemma. It turns out, however, that one can avoid this descent lemma by using a simple approximation-argument, which leads to a more direct prove of the above mentioned correspondence.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-09-21T11:03:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "short note", "abstract descent lemma", "vector bundles holds", "correspondence", "classical fpqc-descent situation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1009.4055K" } } }
