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 $$f_!(M\boxtimes N)=p_! M\otimes q_!N$$ in the derived category of "sheaves" over $S$, where ...

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 ...

It is well known that for an affine scheme $X$, every finitely generated locally free sheaf $\mathcal{E}$ is projective in the category Qcoh$(X)$. i.e. the functor $\text{Hom}_{\text{Qcoh}(X)}(\...
