Abstract

Bakker, Brunebarbe, Tsimerman showed in \cite{bakker2022minimal} that the definable structure sheaf OCn\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{C}^n} of Cn\mathbb{C}^n is a coherent OCn\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{C}^n}-module as a sheaf on the site Cn\underline{\mathbb{C}^n}, where the coverings are finite coverings by definable open sets. In general, let K\mathcal{K} be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We give another proof of the coherence of OKn\mathcal{O}_{\mathcal{K}^n} as a sheaf of OKn\mathcal{O}_{\mathcal{K}^n}-modules on the site Kn\underline{\mathcal{K}^n} using spectral topology on the type space Sn(K)S_n(\mathcal{K}). (Here Sn(K)S_n(\mathcal{K}) means S2n(R)S_{2n}(\mathcal{R}) for some real closed field R\mathcal{R}.) It also gives an example of how the intuition that sheaves on the type space are the same as sheaves on the site with finite coverings (see \cite[Proposition~3.2]{edmundo2006sheaf}) can be applied.
