details of a dévissage argument for constructible sheaves
I am working on the following Künneth-type isomorphism from [SGA5, exposé III, 2,3]:
$\mathrm{Settings}.$ Let $X_1, X_2$ be separated finite type schemes over the spectrum of a field $S=\mathrm{Spec}...

Do we have $\underline{\operatorname{Ext}}^i_\text{fppf}(\widehat{\mathbb{G}}_a,\mathbb{G}_m)=0$ for $i>0$?
Let $k$ be a characteristic zero field and consider the category $(\mathsf{Sch}/k)_\text{fppf}$ of schemes over $k$ with the fppf topology. I know that $\underline{\operatorname{Hom}}(\mathbb{G}_a,\...

What do we know about a sheaf $M$ if we know its derived fibers $\mathsf{L}x^* M$, for $x\in X(k)$?
Let $X$ be a scheme over a field $k$. (Feel free to assume that $X$ is an algebraic variety, if needed.) Also, let $M^\bullet$ be a complex in the derived category of quasi-coherent sheaves $\mathsf{D}...

On the generalization of a Cech-to-sheaf type spectral sequence
Let $(X,O_{X})$ be a ringed space and $\mathcal{F^{\bullet}}$ be a bounded below complex of $O_{X}$-modules on $(X,O_{X})$. On [Stacks Project 20.25.1][1] it is shown that there is a weakly convergent ...

Is there a Čech-like way of computing $H^\bullet(X,M^\bullet)$ or even $\mathsf{R}f_* M^\bullet$?
Let $X$ be a topological space (or a site) and let $M$ be a sheaf on $X$. If $X$ is paracompact, or if $X$ is a noetherian separated scheme and $M$ is quasi-coherent, or if $X$ is quasi-projective ...

How to deduce Künneth from its relative version (in cohomology of sheaves)
Let $p:X\to S$ and $q:Y\to S$ be morphisms of "spaces" over $S$. We have an isomorphism

Is the sheaf associated to a differential structure of a specific type?
On a set $X$, let us define a set $\mathcal{D}$ of functions from $X$ to $\mathbb{R}$. Consider first the initial topology $\tau_\mathcal{D}$ on $X$ with respect to $\mathcal{D}$, i.e. the coarsest ...

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 ...

For what kind of sheaves can we always extend a sheaf map from a closed subset to the whole space?
Let $X$ be a topological space. We know that a sheaf on $X$ is call soft if for any closed subset $Z$ of $X$, a section on $Z$ can be always extend to a section on $X$.
Now we consider a similar ...
