Abstract
We establish an explicit quasi-isomorphism of complexes, which is homogeneous in graded situation, from a given Čech complex to a certain complex of modules of generalized fractions. This leads to characterizations of local cohomology and ideal transforms of a module. Also, in this note, we study the behavior of generalized fraction formation along exact sequences and vanishing of modules of generalized fractions in certain cases.
