Example 18.29.1. Let $(\mathcal{C}, \mathcal{O})$ be a ringed site. Let $\mathcal{F}$ be an $\mathcal{O}$-module such that for every object $U$ of $\mathcal{C}$ there exists a covering $\{ U_ i \to U\}$ such that $\mathcal{F}|_{U_ i}$ is a direct summand of a finite free $\mathcal{O}|_{U_ i}$-module. Then the map

is an isomorphism. Namely, this is a local question, it is true if $\mathcal{F}$ is finite free, and it holds for any summand of a module for which it is true (details omitted). Denote

the map sending $1$ to the section corresponding to $\text{id}_\mathcal {F}$ under the isomorphism above. Denote

the evaluation map. Then we see that $\mathop{\mathcal{H}\! \mathit{om}}\nolimits _\mathcal {O}(\mathcal{F}, \mathcal{O}), \eta , \epsilon$ is a left dual for $\mathcal{F}$ as in Categories, Definition 4.43.5. We omit the verification that $(1 \otimes \epsilon ) \circ (\eta \otimes 1) = \text{id}_\mathcal {F}$ and $(\epsilon \otimes 1) \circ (1 \otimes \eta ) = \text{id}_{\mathop{\mathcal{H}\! \mathit{om}}\nolimits _\mathcal {O}(\mathcal{F}, \mathcal{O})}$.
