Lemma 91.4.3. Let $i : (X, \mathcal{O}_ X) \to (X', \mathcal{O}_{X'})$ be a first order thickening of ringed spaces. Assume given $\mathcal{O}_ X$-modules $\mathcal{F}$, $\mathcal{K}$ and an $\mathcal{O}_ X$-linear map $c : \mathcal{I} \otimes _{\mathcal{O}_ X} \mathcal{F} \to \mathcal{K}$. If there exists a sequence (91.4.0.1) with $c_{\mathcal{F}'} = c$ then the set of isomorphism classes of these extensions is principal homogeneous under $\mathop{\mathrm{Ext}}\nolimits ^1_{\mathcal{O}_ X}(\mathcal{F}, \mathcal{K})$.

Proof. Assume given extensions

\[ 0 \to \mathcal{K} \to \mathcal{F}'_1 \to \mathcal{F} \to 0 \quad \text{and}\quad 0 \to \mathcal{K} \to \mathcal{F}'_2 \to \mathcal{F} \to 0 \]

with $c_{\mathcal{F}'_1} = c_{\mathcal{F}'_2} = c$. Then the difference (in the extension group, see Homology, Section 12.6) is an extension

\[ 0 \to \mathcal{K} \to \mathcal{E} \to \mathcal{F} \to 0 \]

where $\mathcal{E}$ is annihilated by $\mathcal{I}$ (local computation omitted). Hence the sequence is an extension of $\mathcal{O}_ X$-modules, see Modules, Lemma 17.13.4. Conversely, given such an extension $\mathcal{E}$ we can add the extension $\mathcal{E}$ to the $\mathcal{O}_{X'}$-extension $\mathcal{F}'$ without affecting the map $c_{\mathcal{F}'}$. Some details omitted. $\square$
