zero locus of a sheaf homomorphism

103 Views Asked by At

The title says it all.

I'm just starting to go through the existence-proof of the quot scheme (http://www.math.utah.edu/~bertram/courses/hilbert/ps/hilbert.ps). On page 7, almost at the bottm of the page a scheme is defined as the zero locus of a homomorphism of sheaves.

What exactly is the zero locus of a sheaf homomorphism?
