Lemma 31.35.1. Let S be a scheme. Let \mathcal{F} be a finite type quasi-coherent \mathcal{O}_ S-module. Let Z_ k \subset S be the closed subscheme cut out by \text{Fit}_ k(\mathcal{F}), see Section 31.9. Let S' \to S be the blowup of S in Z_ k and let \mathcal{F}' be the strict transform of \mathcal{F}. Then \mathcal{F}' can locally be generated by \leq k sections.
Proof. Recall that \mathcal{F}' can locally be generated by \leq k sections if and only if \text{Fit}_ k(\mathcal{F}') = \mathcal{O}_{S'}, see Lemma 31.9.4. Hence this lemma is a translation of More on Algebra, Lemma 15.26.3. \square
