Lemma 18.28.7. Let \mathcal{C} be a category. Let \mathcal{O} be a presheaf of rings. Let U be an object of \mathcal{C}. Consider the functor j_ U : \mathcal{C}/U \to \mathcal{C}.

  1. The presheaf of \mathcal{O}-modules j_{U!}\mathcal{O}_ U (see Remark 18.19.7) is flat.

  2. If \mathcal{C} is a site, \mathcal{O} is a sheaf of rings, j_{U!}\mathcal{O}_ U is a flat sheaf of \mathcal{O}-modules.

Proof. Proof of (1). By the discussion in Remark 18.19.7 we see that

j_{U!}\mathcal{O}_ U(V) = \bigoplus \nolimits _{\varphi \in \mathop{\mathrm{Mor}}\nolimits _\mathcal {C}(V, U)} \mathcal{O}(V)

which is a flat \mathcal{O}(V)-module. Hence (1) follows from Lemma 18.28.2. Then (2) follows as j_{U!}\mathcal{O}_ U = (j_{U!}\mathcal{O}_ U)^\# (the first j_{U!} on sheaves, the second on presheaves) and Lemma 18.28.3. \square
