#redirect [[Coherent sheaf]]
In [[sheaf theory]], a field of mathematics, a sheaf of <math>\mathcal{O} _X</math>-modules <math>\mathcal{F}</math> on a [[ringed space]] <math>X</math> is called ''locally free'' if for each point <math>p\in X</math>, there is an [[topological space|open]] [[neighborhood (mathematics)| neighborhood]] <math>U</math> of <math>p</math> such that <math>\mathcal{F}| _U</math> is [[free module|free]] as an <math>\mathcal{O} _X| _U</math>-module. Taking an inductive limit, this implies that <math>\mathcal{F}_p</math>, the [[Stalk of a sheaf|stalk]] of <math>\mathcal{F}</math> at <math>p</math>, is free as a <math>(\mathcal{O} _X)_p</math>-module for all <math>p</math>. The converse is true if <math>\mathcal{F}</math> is moreover [[coherent sheaf|coherent]]. If <math>\mathcal{F}_p</math> is of finite rank <math>n</math> for every <math>p\in X</math>, then <math>\mathcal{F}</math> is said to be of rank <math>n.</math>

Example: Let <math>X = \operatorname{Spec}(R)</math>. Then any [[finitely generated projective module]] over ''R'' can be viewed as a locally free <math>\mathcal{O}_X</math>-module. (cf. Hartshorne.)
<!--
Example: any topological vector bundle on a [[compact space]] ''X'' can be thought of as a locally free <math>\mathcal{O}_X</math>-module where <math>\mathcal{O}_X</math> is the sheaf of rings of continuous functions on ''X'', by [[Swan's theorem]]. Indeed, take ''R'' to be the ring of continuous functions on ''X''. Then Swan's theorem says the functor <math>E \mapsto \Gamma(X, E)</math> from the category of vector bundles on ''X'' to the category of finitely generated projective module over ''R'' is an equivalence of categories.-->

In [[mathematics]], an '''algebraic vector bundle''' is a [[vector bundle]] for which all the [[transition map]]s are [[algebraic function]]s. All <math>SU(2)</math>-[[instanton]]s over the [[sphere]] <math>S^4</math> are algebraic vector bundles.
