Lemma 17.22.8. Let $X$ be a ringed space. Let $I$ be a preordered set and let $(\mathcal{F}_ i, \varphi _{ii'})$ be a system over $I$ consisting of sheaves of $\mathcal{O}_ X$-modules (see Categories, Section 4.21). Assume

  1. $I$ is directed,

  2. $\mathcal{G}$ is an $\mathcal{O}_ X$-module of finite presentation, and

  3. $X$ has a cofinal system of open coverings $\mathcal{U} : X = \bigcup _{j\in J} U_ j$ with $J$ finite and $U_ j \cap U_{j'}$ quasi-compact for all $j, j' \in J$.

Then we have

\[ \mathop{\mathrm{colim}}\nolimits _ i \mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _ X(\mathcal{G}, \mathcal{F}_ i) = \mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _ X(\mathcal{G}, \mathop{\mathrm{colim}}\nolimits _ i \mathcal{F}_ i). \]

Proof. Set $\mathcal{H} = \mathop{\mathcal{H}\! \mathit{om}}\nolimits _{\mathcal{O}_ X}(\mathcal{G}, \mathop{\mathrm{colim}}\nolimits \mathcal{F}_ i)$ and $\mathcal{H}_ i = \mathop{\mathcal{H}\! \mathit{om}}\nolimits _{\mathcal{O}_ X}(\mathcal{G}, \mathcal{F}_ i)$. Recall that

\[ \mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _ X(\mathcal{G}, \mathcal{F}) = \Gamma (X, \mathcal{H}) \quad \text{and}\quad \mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _ X(\mathcal{G}, \mathcal{F}_ i) = \Gamma (X, \mathcal{H}_ i) \]

by construction. By Lemma 17.22.7 we have $\mathcal{H} = \mathop{\mathrm{colim}}\nolimits \mathcal{H}_ i$. Thus the lemma follows from Sheaves, Lemma 6.29.1. $\square$

I think the proof only show that the map is surjective. It is not very clear to me why this map is also an injection.

THanks for pointing this out. This was a bit of a brain teaser. We never use the lemma in full strenghth (namely we use it only when the can be chosen quasi-compact as well), but since we claimed it was true we should prove the whole thing as well... The fix is here.
