Is there a “categorical” description of Grothendieck’s algebra of differential operators?

First, pick a commutative ring $k$ as the "ground field". Everything I say will be $k$-linear, e.g. "algebra" means "unital associative algebra over $k$". Then recall the followi …

O_X module with support Z \subset X vs O_S module?

Given a $O_X$ module $\cal F$ whose support is a closed subscheme $Z \subset X$. Under what conditions can we say that $ \cal F$ is an $O_S$ module ( how far off is $\cal F$ an $O_ …

Cohomology of a sheaf of functions locally constant along a foliation

Take a smooth manifold $M^n$ with a smooth foliation $F$. Consider the sheaf $\cal F$ of $C^{\infty}$ functions on $M^n$, locally constant along the foliation $F$. What is known ab …
