Coherent dualityIn mathematics, coherent duality is any of a number of generalisations of Serre duality, applying to coherent sheaves, in algebraic geometry and complex manifold theory, as well as some aspects of commutative algebra that are part of the 'local' theory. The historical roots of the theory lie in the idea of the adjoint linear system of a linear system of divisors in classical algebraic geometry. This was re-expressed, with the advent of sheaf theory, in a way that made an analogy with Poincaré duality more apparent.

For the number-theoretic applications, see glossary of arithmetic and Diophantine geometry. For simplicity, a reference to the base scheme is often omitted; i.e., a scheme will be a scheme over some fixed base scheme S and a morphism an S-morphism.
Dualizing moduleIn abstract algebra, a dualizing module, also called a canonical module, is a module over a commutative ring that is analogous to the canonical bundle of a smooth variety. It is used in Grothendieck local duality. A dualizing module for a Noetherian ring R is a finitely generated module M such that for any maximal ideal m, the R/m vector space Ext(R/m,M) vanishes if n ≠ height(m) and is 1-dimensional if n = height(m). A dualizing module need not be unique because the tensor product of any dualizing module with a rank 1 projective module is also a dualizing module.
Cohomologie des faisceauxLes groupes de cohomologie d'un faisceau de groupes abéliens sont les groupes de cohomologie du complexe de cochaines. Les groupes de cohomologie d'un faisceau de groupes abéliens sont les groupes de cohomologie du complexe de cochaines : où est une résolution injective du faisceau , et désigne le groupe abélien des sections globales de . A unique isomorphisme canonique près, ces groupes ne dépendent pas de la résolution injective choisie. Le zéroième groupe est canoniquement isomorphe à .
Coherent sheaf cohomologyIn mathematics, especially in algebraic geometry and the theory of complex manifolds, coherent sheaf cohomology is a technique for producing functions with specified properties. Many geometric questions can be formulated as questions about the existence of sections of line bundles or of more general coherent sheaves; such sections can be viewed as generalized functions. Cohomology provides computable tools for producing sections, or explaining why they do not exist. It also provides invariants to distinguish one algebraic variety from another.
