# Ext^ZZ(CoherentSheaf,CoherentSheaf) -- global Ext

## Synopsis

• Scripted functor: Ext
• Usage:
Ext^i(M,N)
• Inputs:
• Outputs:
• , The global Ext module $Ext^i_X(M,N)$

## Description

If M or N is a sheaf of rings, it is regarded as a sheaf of modules in the evident way.

M and N must be coherent sheaves on the same projective variety or scheme X.

As an example, we compute Hom_X(I_X,OO_X), and Ext^1_X(I_X,OO_X), for the rational quartic curve in $P^3$.

The Ext^1 being zero says that the point corresponding to I on the Hilbert scheme is smooth (unobstructed), and vector space dimension of Hom tells us that the dimension of the component at the point I is 16.

If the module $\oplus_{d\geq 0} Ext^i(M,N(d))$ is desired, see Ext^ZZ(CoherentSheaf,SumOfTwists).
