Lemma 42.37.2. Let (S, \delta ) be as in Situation 42.7.1. Let X be locally of finite type over S. Assume X is integral and n = \dim _\delta (X). Let \mathcal{L} be an invertible \mathcal{O}_ X-module. The first Chern class of \mathcal{L} on X of Definition 42.37.1 is equal to the Weil divisor associated to \mathcal{L} by Definition 42.24.1.

Proof. In this proof we use c_1(\mathcal{L}) \cap [X] to denote the construction of Definition 42.24.1. Since \mathcal{L} has rank 1 we have \mathbf{P}(\mathcal{L}) = X and \mathcal{O}_{\mathbf{P}(\mathcal{L})}(1) = \mathcal{L} by our normalizations. Hence (42.37.1.1) reads

(-1)^1 c_1(\mathcal{L}) \cap c_0 + (-1)^0 c_1 = 0

Since c_0 = [X], we conclude c_1 = c_1(\mathcal{L}) \cap [X] as desired. \square
