Transition units for Cartier divisors #
Local equations for a Cartier divisor differ by regular units on overlaps. This file packages that unit and exposes the restriction compatibility needed to glue the local copies of the structure sheaf:
CartierDivisor.transitionUnitchooses the unique unit between two local equations;transitionUnit_specexposes the defining equation for the chosen unit.
This prepares the exact descent datum used in the Cartier-divisor-to-line-bundle construction in
Layer A of TauCetiRoadmap/JacobianChallenge/README.md; no smoothness or Noetherian hypothesis
is needed for this part. The construction follows Hartshorne, Algebraic Geometry, II.6, and
the Stacks Project, Divisors, Tag 02AR. It reuses the local equation and uniqueness theorem from
TauCeti.AlgebraicGeometry.CartierDivisor.LocalEquations.
The regular unit relating two chosen local equations of a Cartier divisor.

Instances For
The defining equation for transitionUnit.
The transition unit is uniquely determined by its defining equation.
The defining equation for transitionUnit remains valid after restriction to a refinement.
A local equation has trivial transition unit with itself.
Reversing two local equations inverts their transition unit on every common refinement.
Transition units satisfy the cocycle identity on every triple overlap.
