Lemma 57.11.6. Let k be a field. Let X be a proper scheme over k which is regular. Let F : D_{perf}(\mathcal{O}_ X) \to D_{perf}(\mathcal{O}_ X) be a k-linear exact functor. Assume for every coherent \mathcal{O}_ X-module \mathcal{F} with \dim (\text{Supp}(\mathcal{F})) = 0 there is an isomorphism \mathcal{F} \cong F(\mathcal{F}). Then F is fully faithful.

Proof. By Lemma 57.11.5 it suffices to show that the maps
are isomorphisms for all i \in \mathbf{Z} and all closed points x, x' \in X. By assumption, the source and the target are isomorphic. If x \not= x', then both sides are zero and the result is true. If x = x', then it suffices to prove that the map is either injective or surjective. For i < 0 both sides are zero and the result is true. For i = 0 any nonzero map \alpha : \mathcal{O}_ x \to \mathcal{O}_ x of \mathcal{O}_ X-modules is an isomorphism. Hence F(\alpha ) is an isomorphism too and so F(\alpha ) is nonzero. Thus the result for i = 0. For i = 1 a nonzero element \xi in \mathop{\mathrm{Ext}}\nolimits ^1(\mathcal{O}_ x, \mathcal{O}_ x) corresponds to a nonsplit short exact sequence
Since F(\mathcal{F}) \cong \mathcal{F} we see that F(\mathcal{F}) is a nonsplit extension of \mathcal{O}_ x by \mathcal{O}_ x as well. Since \mathcal{O}_ x \cong F(\mathcal{O}_ x) is a simple \mathcal{O}_ X-module and \mathcal{F} \cong F(\mathcal{F}) has length 2, we see that in the distinguished triangle
the first two arrows must form a short exact sequence which must be isomorphic to the above short exact sequence and hence is nonsplit. It follows that F(\xi ) is nonzero and we conclude for i = 1. For i > 1 composition of ext classes defines a surjection
See Duality for Schemes, Lemma 48.15.4. Hence surjectivity in degree 1 implies surjectivity for i > 0. This finishes the proof. \square
