Does the category of cosheaves have enough projectives?

Given a general topological space $X$ does the category $\mathbf{coShv}(X,\mathbf{Mod}_R)$ have enough projectives ? I know that under some conditions this is true, for example if $X$ is a cell ...

Contractible chain complex from non-contractible space

Recall that a chain complex $(C_*,d)$ of abelian groups is contractible if it is homotopic to the zero map. Or equivalently: there exists a degree 1 map $F: C_* \to C_*$ such that $\operatorname{Id}= ...

Pointwise vs. local homotopy equivalences of continuous and smooth complexes of real vector bundles

Let $(E^\bullet,d_E)$ and $(F^\bullet,d_F)$ be two complexes of real vector bundles on a topological manifold $X$, and let $f^\bullet\colon E^\bullet\to F^\bullet$ be a morphism of complexes, i.e. a ...

The homological negligibility of certain subsets in compact manifolds

Let $n\ge 3$ and $X$ be a compact connected $n$-manifold (without boundary). I need a reference to the following facts (which I believe are true at least in dimension $n=3$): Fact 1. For every ...

First Betti number of a Reeb graph is not greater than that of the space?

(I have asked this question at math stackexchange, it was upvoted but got no answers; maybe you can help.) It is well-known that $\beta_1(R(f))\le\beta_1(X)$, where $\beta_1$ is the first Betti ...

Spectral sequences in Hypercohomology of sheaves (For a complex of acyclic sheaves) - Follow-up to previous question

Alright, this is a follow-up to my previous question (Spectral sequences in Hypercohomology of sheaves), sorry I took so long to reply. Let $X$ be a topological space, let $F^\bullet$ be a cochain ...
