Let
denote a two-dimensional local noetherian domain and let
and
be two parameters in
, i.e. elements which generate the maximal ideal
up to radical. Then the punctured spectrum is
-

and every cohomology class

can be represented by a Čech cohomology class
-
with some
(
). If
is normal then the cohomology class is
if and only if
. To see this, we work with
, which does not make a difference as powers of powers are again parameters. We note that under the normality assumption the syzygy module
is free of rank one
(
is a generator).
Then we look at the short exact sequence on
,
-
and its corresponding long exact sequence of cohomology,
-
Here, the connecting homomorphisms
for an element
works in the following way. On both open subsets
and
we get the local representatives
and
and their difference, considered in
, defines the cohomology class. This difference is just
. By the exactness of the long cohomology sequence,
if and only if
comes from the left, which is true if and only if
belongs to the ideal generated by
.
If we want to realize the geometric torsor corresponding to such a cohomology class, we start with two affine lines over
and
,
which we write as
and
.
According to
Fakt
these have to be glued with the identification
.
