What is a morphism of ∞-sites?
Recall that a morphism of sites
is a covering-flat functor
that preserves covering families.
Morphisms of sites can be identified with those
geometric morphisms of induced toposes
for which the ...

Homotopy cosheaf?
Let $C$ be a site, $\mathbf{S}$ some ($\infty$-? homotopy?) category of spaces.
Question. What do you call a (covariant!) functor $F:C\to \mathbf{S}$ enjoying the following property: for every ...

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 ...

Push forward of the constant sheaf for a Serre's fibration
Let $f\colon X\to Y$ be a proper continuous map of topological spaces which is a Serre's fibration. $X$ and $Y$ may be assumed to be locally compact, $Y$ is connected topological manifold of finite ...

How do the direct and inverse image sheaf functors interact with homotopy?
This is a crosspost of this MSE question.
The direct image sheaf functor $f_\ast$ and inverse image sheaf functor $f^\ast$ (here I mean the usual inverse image sheaf functor often denoted by $f^{-1}$)...

Are constructible derived categories invariant up to weak homotopy equivalence?
Let $X$ and $Y$ be two topological spaces and $R$ be commutative ring. Let $D_c^b(X, R)$ and $D_c^b(Y,R)$ be their respective bounded derived categories of constructible sheaves of $R$-modules. I ...

Leray Spectral Sequence
Let $f:X\to Y$ be a smooth map between paracompact differential manifolds $X$ and $Y$.
Let $U$ be an open and dense subset of $Y$. For any $y\in U$, let $f^{-1}(y)=F$
be a generic fiber that is a ...

Applications of sheaf theory to the computation of invariants of LS-category type
I would like to know if sheaf theory can be applied to a particular class of questions in topology.
The Schwarz genus (also known as sectional category) of a continuous map $p\colon\thinspace E\to ...

Grothendieck spectral sequence and Mayer-Vietoris sequence
Suppose $U'\cup U''=X$ is an open cover $U$ of a topological space $X$ and $F$ is a sheaf on $X$ with values in abelian groups. There is a special instance of the Grothendieck spectral sequence ...
