Lemma 28.23.2. Let (X, \mathcal{O}_ X) be a ringed space. Let \kappa be a cardinal. There exists a set T and a family (\mathcal{F}_ t)_{t \in T} of \kappa -generated \mathcal{O}_ X-modules such that every \kappa -generated \mathcal{O}_ X-module is isomorphic to one of the \mathcal{F}_ t.
Proof. There is a set of coverings of X (provided we disallow repeats). Suppose X = \bigcup U_ i is a covering and suppose \mathcal{F}_ i is an \mathcal{O}_{U_ i}-module. Then there is a set of isomorphism classes of \mathcal{O}_ X-modules \mathcal{F} with the property that \mathcal{F}|_{U_ i} \cong \mathcal{F}_ i since there is a set of glueing maps. This reduces us to proving there is a set of (isomorphism classes of) quotients \oplus _{k \in \kappa } \mathcal{O}_ X \to \mathcal{F} for any ringed space X. This is clear. \square
