Lemma 37.9.4. Let $S$ be a scheme. Let $X \subset X'$ and $Y \subset Y'$ be first order thickenings over $S$. Assume given a morphism $a : X \to Y$ and a map $A : a^*\mathcal{C}_{Y/Y'} \to \mathcal{C}_{X/X'}$ of $\mathcal{O}_ X$-modules. For an open subscheme $U' \subset X'$ consider morphisms $a' : U' \to Y'$ such that

  1. $a'$ is a morphism over $S$,

  2. $a'|_ U = a|_ U$, and

  3. the induced map $a^*\mathcal{C}_{Y/Y'}|_ U \to \mathcal{C}_{X/X'}|_ U$ is the restriction of $A$ to $U$.

Here $U = X \cap U'$. Then the rule

37.9.4.1
\begin{equation} \label{more-morphisms-equation-sheaf} U' \mapsto \{ a' : U' \to Y'\text{ such that (1), (2), (3) hold.}\} \end{equation}

defines a sheaf of sets on $X'$.

Proof. Denote $\mathcal{F}$ the rule of the lemma. The restriction mapping $\mathcal{F}(U') \to \mathcal{F}(V')$ for $V' \subset U' \subset X'$ of $\mathcal{F}$ is really the restriction map $a' \mapsto a'|_{V'}$. With this definition in place it is clear that $\mathcal{F}$ is a sheaf since morphisms are defined locally. $\square$
