Why do rigid spaces have “not enough points”?

In Brian Conrad's notes here for the 2007 Arizona winter school, bottom of p18, he says that there is an affinoid rigid-analytic space and a sheaf of abelian groups on it equipped …

Is the site of (smooth) manifolds hypercomplete?

By site of manifolds Man, I mean the category of manifolds (maybe submanifolds to obtain a small category) with continuous maps between them. A Grothendieck topology is given by op …

Terminology: complex of sheaves with cohomology sheaves concentrated in degree zero

What is the proper terminology for a complex of sheaves $\mathcal F^\bullet$ whose homology sheaves $\mathcal H^i\mathcal F^\bullet$ vanish for $i\ne 0$?

Reference request: sheaves on closed sets

I am faced with a context in which the most natural notion of a sheaf $\mathcal F$ is as a functor on the category of compact subsets of a (locally compact Hausdorff) space $X$. S …

What can be said about this morphism of sheaves

Let $X$ be topological space and $\cal F$ be a sheaf of modules over a sheaf of rings $\mathcal{O}$. One can consider an skyscraper functor $S(x,-): {\cal O}_{X,x}-{\rm Mod} \lon …

Families of local rings coming from a locally ringed space

Let $X$ be a topological space. For every point $x \in X$ let $R_x$ be a local ring. Under what (necessary / sufficient / necessary and sufficient) conditions is there a sheaf ${\c …

Homotopy-theoretic measure of operations on sheaves failing to be sheaves

Here's something I've been wondering about for a few weeks: Consider a topological space $X$ and a sheaf of rings $\mathscr O_X$ on $X$. Suppose $\mathscr{F}$ and $\mathscr{G}$ ar …

Needless axiom for Grothendieck topologies?

Hi, The first axiom for a Grothendieck (pre)topology on a category $C$ says that for every object $X\in C$, the family consisting of just the identity $1_X : X\to X$ should be a c …

When does the sheaf cohomology of a topological space vanish?

The question is in the title. A more precise formulation is: Let $X$ be a topological space. When does $H^i(X,F) = 0$ for all $i > 0$ and all abelian sheaves $F$ on $X$? The obvi …

How does the machinery of left-exact comonads generalize from sheaves to stacks?

Suppose that we have two Grothendieck sites, their associated sheaves $\mathcal{E}=\rm{Sh}(\bf{C},J)$ and $\mathcal{F}=\rm{Sh}(\bf{D},K)$ and a geometric surjection $f:\mathcal{E}\ …

Are subfunctors of left exact functors also left exact?

Consider the direct image functor $f_*: Sh(X) \rightarrow Sh(Y)$, let $X$ and $Y$ be topological spaces, let $f: X \rightarrow Y$ be a continuous map, let $G \in Sh(X)$ be a sheaf. …

Coboundaries and Gluing in Cech Cohomology - Intuition?

I'm trying to develop an intuition for Cech cohomology geometrically, but am currently failing. A lot of people seem to say that the groups $H^n$ measure obstructions to gluing loc …

Hypercohomology of a complex via Cech cohomology

Let $X$ be a reasonable topological space. If $\mathcal{F}$ is a sheaf of abelian groups then Cech cohomology gives us a method to compute the cohomology groups $H^p(X, \mathcal{F} …

Stability of $T_{\mathbb{P}^2}$ and $\Omega_{\mathbb{P}^2}$?

How can one prove that the tangent bundle $T_{\mathbb{P}^2}$ and its dual $\Omega_{\mathbb{P}^2}$ are stable vector bundles with respect to $\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^2}(1)$? Similar …

Understanding Adjointness of Sheaves in Algebraic Geometry

Pushforward and pullback are very basic operations in algebraic geometry, as is the adjointness between them. I worked out a very careful of adjointness of sheaves (below) when I w …
