First of all, I give my definition of weak sheaves: By a weak sheaf on a topological space $ X $, we mean a presheaf $F$ such that for all open covering $\{ U_i\}_{i\in I} $ of $X$ sheaf ...

Descent of singular cohomology

When proving that singular cohomology of an appropriate space $X$ equals sheaf cohomology of $X$ with "values" (does one say that?) in the sheaf $\mathbb{Z}_X$ of locally constant functions, the ...
