locally free (Definition)

A sheaf of $ \O _X$-modules $ \mathcal{F}$ on a ringed space $ X$ is called locally free if for each point $ p\in X$, there is an open neighborhood $ U$ of $ x$ such that $ \mathcal{F}\vert _U$ is free as an $ \O _X\vert _U$-module, or equivalently, $ \mathcal{F}_p$, the stalk of $ \mathcal{F}$ at $ p$, is free as a $ (\O _X)_p$-module. If $ \mathcal{F}_p$ is of finite rank $ n$, then $ \mathcal{F}$ is said to be of rank $ n$.
