Lemma 31.11.4. Let X be an integral scheme. Let \mathcal{F} be a quasi-coherent \mathcal{O}_ X-module. The torsion sections of \mathcal{F} form a quasi-coherent \mathcal{O}_ X-submodule \mathcal{F}_{tors} \subset \mathcal{F}. The quotient module \mathcal{F}/\mathcal{F}_{tors} is torsion free.
Proof. Omitted. See More on Algebra, Lemma 15.22.2 for the algebraic analogue. \square
