Perverse sheaves on the complex affine line
Show that a perverse sheaf on $\mathbb{A}^1(\mathbb{C})$ (the complex plane with the analytic topology) is a bounded complex $A$ of sheaves of $\mathbb{Q}$-vector spaces with constructible cohomology ...

Why is the derived tensor product only defined for bounded above derived categories?
In "Residues and Duality" by Hartshorne, the derived tensor $\otimes$ only defined for the bounded above categories (see Chapter II, section 4, p.93), that is one has
$$\otimes: D^{-}(X) \...

2 K3s and cubic fourfolds containing a plane
Two K3 surfaces show up when talking about cubic fourfolds containing a plane. Let $P\subset X\subset \mathbb{P}^5$ be the plane inside the cubic. Since $P$ is cut out by 3 linear equations then $X$ ...

Stalks of perverse cohomology sheaves?
For a complex of sheaves $\cal{F}^{\bullet}$ on a variety $X$, a useful fact is that the stalks of the cohomology sheaves of $\mathcal{F}^{\bullet}$ agree with the cohomology groups of the complex of ...

Is there a (satisfying) proof that cellular cohomology is isomorphic to simplicial cohomology that doesn't use relative cohomlogy?
That singular and de Rham cohomologies of a smooth manifold are isomorphic has two proofs that I know of. The classical one uses Stokes' theorem to give the isomorphism explicitly. The second proof ...

Different definitions of derived functors
In principle one uses the notion of derived category, and the other doesn't.
Suppose $F: \mathcal A \to \mathcal B$ is a left exact (additive) functor between abelian categories, and suppose the ...

Are $D^b_{coh}(X)$ and $D^b(Coh(X))$ derived equivalent?
Let $X$ be a variety. Let $D^b(Coh(X))$ be the derived category of bounded complexes of coherent sheaves on $X$, and $D^b_{coh}(X)$ be the derived category of bounded complexes of sheaves of $\...

Exceptional collections and cohomological criteria for isomorphism
Suppose that we are given a smooth projective variety $X$ with a full exceptional collection of vector bundles $(F_1, F_2, \ldots, F_k)$ in $D^b(X)$ and two vector bundles $E_1$, $E_2$ on $X$. ...
