Homework 6: Due Thursday February 23
Chapter 2, Section 6 #1,8, Section 7 #1, Also prove the following: If X is integral, then any nonzero morphism of invertible sheaves is injective, any generically injective morphism of locally free sheaves is injective (hint: first prove that a locally free sheaf has no torsion subsheaf, where by a torsion sheaf we mean a sheaf whose support has codimension > 0).
