Abstract:

We prove an analog of Nakayama’s Lemma, in which the finitely generated module is replaced by a half-exact functor from modules to modules. As applications, we obtain simple proofs of Grothendieck’s “property of exchange” for a sheaf of modules under base change, and of the “local criterion for flatness."
