Which sheaves are good for calculating extraordinary restriction?

Let $X$ be a sufficiently nice locally compact Hausdorff space and let $i:Y\subset X$ be the inclusion map of a sufficiently nice closed subspace. For example, one could take $X$ to be a locally ...

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}...

Spectral sequence generalizing Čech cohomology

Let $X$ be a 'nice' topological space. Let $\left(U_i\right)_{i\in I}$ be a finite open covering of $X$. Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a sheaf of abelian groups. For a subset $A\subset I$ denote $$U_A:=\cap_{...

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 ...

Resolutions of unbounded complexes: Condition ($\ast$) in Spaltenstein's paper

In the paper "Resolutions of unbounded complexes" (Compositio Math., vol. 65, no. 2, pp. 121-154) N. Spaltenstein generalizes the 6 functor formalism to unbounded complexes of sheaves over ...

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 ...

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 ...

About the left adjoint of $f^*$

In lots of different cases (Verdier duality, Grothendieck duality, étale cohomology, ...) the very existence of a (right) adjoint to the sheaf functor $f_!$ gives useful information. (I'm going to ...

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 ...

Zero in colimit of sheaves category

This question is motivated by showing that the category $\mathbf{Sheaves} (X)$ from the open subset excluding the empty set category to the category of abelian group $\mathbf{Ab}$ has enough injective ...

Serre spectral sequence for de Rham cohomology

Suppose we a given a fibration of manifolds $p\colon E\to M$ with a path connected fiber $F$ and simply connected $M$, then we have the Serre spectral sequence with $$ E_2^{p,q} = H^p(M,\underline{H^...

How "commutative" are Cech cochains of a sheaf of commutative (dg) algebras?

Let $X$ be a topological space and $\mathcal{F}$ be a sheaf of commutative dg-algebras over $X$. Let $\mathfrak{U}$ be a fixed open covering of $X$ and $C^\bullet(\mathfrak{U},\mathcal{F})$ be the ...

Disclaimer: I don't feel qualified to ask this question and yet it's been troubling me for some time now and I lost my patience and decided to ask to get some kind of answer. If there are any stupid ...

Two points of view about Borel-moore homology

They are several ways to define the Borel-Moore homology on a locally compact space $X$. The first one is by analogy with the singular homology but instead of using finite chains, we use locally ...

Equivalence of ordered and unordered cech cohomology.

Given a topological space X and a finite cover X = $\cup X_i$, one can define Cech cohomology of a sheaf of abelian groups F with respect to the cover $\{X_i\}$ in two different ways: (Ordered): ...
