In algebraic geometry, the projection formula states the following:
For a morphism f : X → Y {\displaystyle f:X\to Y} of ringed spaces, an O X {\displaystyle {\mathcal {O}}_{X}} -module F {\displaystyle {\mathcal {F}}} and a locally free O Y {\displaystyle {\mathcal {O}}_{Y}} -module E {\displaystyle {\mathcal {E}}} of finite rank, the natural maps of sheaves
are isomorphisms.
There is yet another projection formula in the setting of étale cohomology.
