Sheaf cohomology and injective resolutions
In defining sheaf cohomology (say in Hartshorne), a common approach seems to be defining the cohomology functors as derived functors. Is there any conceptual reason for injective resolution to come ...

Two points of view about Borel-moore homology
They are several ways to define the Borel-Moore homology on a locally compact space $X$.
The first one is by analogy with the singular homology but instead of using finite chains, we use locally ...

Resolutions of unbounded complexes: Condition ($\ast$) in Spaltenstein's paper
In the paper "Resolutions of unbounded complexes" (Compositio Math., vol. 65, no. 2, pp. 121-154) N. Spaltenstein generalizes the 6 functor formalism to unbounded complexes of sheaves over ...

Top cohomology detecting compactness
I am looking for a reference for the fact that the top cohomology $H^n(X;A)$ of an $n$-dimensional manifold $X$ is non-trivial precisely when $X$ is compact.
I tried to ask this question on Math....

Construction of generalized Eilenberg-MacLane spaces
The Eilenberg-MacLane spaces $K(G,q)$ are readily generalized to study cohomology with local coefficients.The generalized Eilenberg-MacLane space $K_{\pi}(G,q)$ are spaces with only two nnvanishing ...

Can we use sheaf cohomology to say anything interesting for vector bundles with non-flat connections?
Given a vector bundle $E \to M$ with connection $\nabla$, we get a twisted de Rham sequence using the exterior covariant derivative:
$$0 \to \mathcal{E} \xrightarrow{d^\nabla} \Omega^1_M \otimes \...

Injective model structure on sheaves of bounded complexes of $A$-modules
The following might be very well known for people who works with model categories, but I do not find the answer.
Let $A$-be a ring. Denote $\mathbf{Ch}_+(A)$ the category of positive degree cochain ...

The Yoneda pairing, hypercohomology, and cup product
Let $\mathcal{F}$ and $\mathcal{G}$ be coherent analytic sheaves on $\mathbb{P}^n$. Let $\mathcal{F}_\bullet$ be a locally free resolution of $\mathcal{F}$. In Principles of Algebraic Geometry by ...

Cohomology and base change without Noetherian assumption
In the "The Rising Sea" by Vakil one can find the base change theorem for proper morphisms over a locally Noetherian base (28.1.6). He later indicates (28.2.M) how one could exchange the ...

When is derived category of ringed space perfectly generated?
Let $(X,\mathcal{O})$ be a ringed space. Also assume that $X$ is nice, e.g. locally compact, Hausdorff, some type of finite dimension, ...
We can then consider $\mathcal{D}(\mathcal{O}\text{-}Mod)$. ...
