Lemma 50.11.1. There exists a short exact sequence

\[ 0 \to \Omega \to \mathcal{O}(-1)^{\oplus n + 1} \to \mathcal{O} \to 0 \]

Proof. To explain this, we recall that $\mathbf{P}^ n_ A = \text{Proj}(A[T_0, \ldots , T_ n])$, and we write symbolically

\[ \mathcal{O}(-1)^{\oplus n + 1} = \bigoplus \nolimits _{j = 0, \ldots , n} \mathcal{O}(-1) \text{d}T_ j \]

The first arrow

\[ \Omega \to \bigoplus \nolimits _{j = 0, \ldots , n} \mathcal{O}(-1) \text{d}T_ j \]

in the short exact sequence above is given on each of the standard opens $D_+(T_ i) = \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(A[T_0/T_ i, \ldots , T_ n/T_ i])$ mentioned above by the rule

\[ \sum \nolimits _{j \not= i} g_ j \text{d}(T_ j/T_ i) \longmapsto \sum \nolimits _{j \not= i} g_ j/T_ i \text{d}T_ j - (\sum \nolimits _{j \not= i} g_ jT_ j/T_ i^2) \text{d}T_ i \]

This makes sense because $1/T_ i$ is a section of $\mathcal{O}(-1)$ over $D_+(T_ i)$. The map

\[ \bigoplus \nolimits _{j = 0, \ldots , n} \mathcal{O}(-1) \text{d}T_ j \to \mathcal{O} \]

is given by sending $\text{d}T_ j$ to $T_ j$, more precisely, on $D_+(T_ i)$ we send the section $\sum g_ j \text{d}T_ j$ to $\sum T_ jg_ j$. We omit the verification that this produces a short exact sequence. $\square$
