Projection Formula for Ringed Spaces

In summary, the Projection Formula for Ringed Spaces is a powerful tool used in algebraic geometry to study the cohomology of varieties and schemes. It is derived from the Leray spectral sequence and the Grothendieck spectral sequence, and it allows for the computation of cohomology by breaking a space into smaller parts. It is significant in various areas of mathematics and has several generalizations, including the Grothendieck-Verdier duality theorem and the Hirzebruch-Riemann-Roch theorem.

Show that if ##f : X \to Y## is a morphism of ringed spaces, ##\mathscr{F}## is an ##\mathcal{O}_X##-module and ##\mathscr{E}## is a locally free ##\mathcal{O}_Y##-module of finite rank, then for all ##p \ge 0##, there is an isomorphism $$R^pf_*(\mathscr{F}\otimes_{\mathcal{O}_X} f^*\mathscr{E}) \approx R^pf_*(\mathscr{F}) \otimes_{\mathcal{O}_Y} \mathscr{E}$$

When ##p = 0##, the result follows from the projection formula ##f_*(\mathscr{F}\otimes f^*\mathscr{E}) \approx f_*(\mathscr{F}) \otimes \mathscr{E}##, which may be obtained by reducing to the case ##\mathscr{E} = \mathscr{O}_Y^n##. Both sides of the proposed isomorphism are delta functors (applied to ##\mathscr{F}##) that are effaceable. Indeed, if ##\mathscr{F}## is injective, then since ##f_*## has an exact left adjoint ##f^*##, ##f_*(\mathscr{F})## is injective. Also, by exactness of ##\otimes_{\mathscr{O}_X} f^*\mathscr{E}##, the tensor sheaf ##\mathscr{F} \otimes_{\mathscr{O}_X} f^*\mathscr{E}## is injective and hence ##f_*(\mathscr{F} \otimes_{\mathscr{O}_X} f^*\mathscr{E})## is injective. We then deduce ##R^pf_*(\mathscr{F}) = 0 = R^p f_*(\mathscr{F} \otimes_{\mathscr{O}_X} \mathscr{E})##, so that the delta functors are effaceable. It follows that these delta functors are universal. Since they agree at ##p = 0##, they are naturally isomorphic.
