Lemma 21.13.3. Let $(\mathcal{C}, \mathcal{O})$ be a ringed site. Let $\mathcal{U} = \{ U_ i \to U\} _{i \in I}$ be a covering of $\mathcal{C}$. Let $\mathcal{I}$ be an injective $\mathcal{O}$-module, i.e., an injective object of $\textit{Mod}(\mathcal{O})$. Then

$\check{H}^ p(\mathcal{U}, \mathcal{I}) = \left\{ \begin{matrix} \mathcal{I}(U) & \text{if} & p = 0 \\ 0 & \text{if} & p > 0 \end{matrix} \right.$

Proof. Lemma 21.10.3 gives the first equality in the following sequence of equalities

\begin{align*} \check{\mathcal{C}}^\bullet (\mathcal{U}, \mathcal{I}) & = \mathop{Mor}\nolimits _{\textit{PAb}(\mathcal{C})}( \mathbf{Z}_{\mathcal{U}, \bullet }, \mathcal{I}) \\ & = \mathop{Mor}\nolimits _{\textit{PMod}(\mathbf{Z})}( \mathbf{Z}_{\mathcal{U}, \bullet }, \mathcal{I}) \\ & = \mathop{Mor}\nolimits _{\textit{PMod}(\mathcal{O})}( \mathbf{Z}_{\mathcal{U}, \bullet } \otimes _{p, \mathbf{Z}} \mathcal{O}, \mathcal{I}) \end{align*}

The third equality by Modules on Sites, Lemma 18.9.2. By Lemma 21.13.1 we see that $\mathcal{I}$ is an injective object in $\textit{PMod}(\mathcal{O})$. Hence $\mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _{\textit{PMod}(\mathcal{O})}(-, \mathcal{I})$ is an exact functor. By Lemma 21.10.5 we see the vanishing of higher Čech cohomology groups. For the zeroth see Lemma 21.9.2. $\square$
