Like the classical Gram-Schmidt theorem for symplectic vector spaces, the sheaf-theoretic version (in which the coefficient algebra sheaf 𝒜 is appropriately chosen) shows that symplectic 𝒜 -morphisms on free 𝒜 -modules of finite rank, defined on a topological space X , induce canonical bases (Theorem 1.1), called symplectic bases. Moreover (Theorem 2.1), if ( , φ ) is an 𝒜 -module (with respect to a -algebra sheaf 𝒜 without zero divisors) equipped with an orthosymmetric 𝒜 -morphism, we show, like in the classical situation, that “componentwise” φ is either symmetric (the (local) geometry is orthogonal) or skew-symmetric (the (local) geometry is symplectic). Theorem 2.1 reduces to the classical case for any free 𝒜 -module of finite rank.
