Derived category of local systems of finite type on a $K(\pi,1)$ space: an explicit counterexample

Let $X$ be a nice enough topological space. I am mostly interested in smooth complex algebraic varieties. One may ask whether the bounded derived category of the category $\mathrm{Loc}(X)$ of local ...

Formulation of cap product in group-equivariant sheaf cohomology + applications?

Originally asked on Math SE but it was suggested I move it here. Suppose one has a distinguished cocycle in the group-equivariant sheaf cohomology $\Phi \in H^n(X, G, \mathcal{F})$ for a "nice&...

Unbounded acyclic resolutions

Let $\mathscr A$ be a Grothendieck abelian category. Then every object in $\operatorname{Ch}(\mathscr A)$ is quasi-isomorphic to a $K$-injective object [Stacks, Tag 079P]. In particular, for any left ...

On the link between homology and homotopy

In the last semester I learned homological algebra and higher category theory/homotopy theory. But I am kind of confused when I try to really understand the link between the two subjects (this is ...

Is the derived category of local systems equivalent to the derived category of sheaves of vector spaces with local system cohomology?

Let $k$ be a field and $X$ a topological space. Write $\mathrm{Sh}(X)$ for the category of sheaves of vector spaces on $X$, and $\mathrm{Loc}(X)$ for the subcategory of local systems of finite ...

Tensor product of mapping cones

Fix a ring $R$. If $A^*_i \to B^*_i \to C^*_i \to A^*_i[1]$ is a distinguished triangle of complexes of $R$-modules, for $i=1$ and $2$ (so $C_i^* = cone(f_i^*)$ where $f_i^*: A_i^*\to B_i^*$), is ...

N-periodic derived categories

I have some seemingly basic questions about $N$-periodic derived categories to which I have not found answers in any of the usual places. Let $R$ be a ring, and let $D(R)_{\mathbb Z/N\mathbb Z}$ ...

Is there an obstruction which classifies "quasi-isomorphism but not chain equivalence"?

Fix a ring $R$ and let $C_\bullet$, $D_\bullet$ be (possibly unbounded) chain complexes of $R$-modules. Assume that $f_\bullet:C_\bullet \to D_\bullet$ is a quasi-isomorphism: that is to say, $f$ is a ...
