Ringed Space


A ringed space is a pair (X,O_X) consisting of a topological space X and a sheaf of rings O_X on X. The sheaf O_X is called the structure sheaf of the ringed space.

A morphism of ringed spaces (X,O_X)->(Y,O_Y) consists of a continuous map f:X->Y together with a compatible morphism O_Y->f_*O_X of their structure sheaves. A locally ringed space additionally requires every stalk of its structure sheaf to be a local ring.
