Abstract

Let XX be a scheme and let M\mathcal{M} be a quasi-coherent sheaf on XX. Then M\mathcal{M} can be viewed as a cogroup object in the category of schemes under XX. We show that the category of first order thickenings of XX by M\mathcal{M} is equivalent to the category of M\mathcal{M}-cotorsors.
