Naive question in Cech cohomology
Let $X$ be a smooth, projective variety and $F$ a coherent sheaf on $X$. Let $\{U_i\}_{i \in I}$ be an open affine covering of $X$ and $\{f_{ij}\}_{i<j}$ with $f_{ij} \in \Gamma(U_{ij},F)$ ...

Outline of the proof that Cech cohomology and singular cohomology coincide on any locally contractible space
If $X$ is paracompact and locally contractible, then singular cohomology and Cech cohomology of $X$ coincide, with coefficients in any abelian group.
I hear that this is a classical result but I fail ...

Comparing Different Notions of Unicoherence in the Plane
Unicoherence is a generalization of simple connectedness that has been useful in topology in one and two dimensions. It is also a fundamental concept in shape theory, and thus has relations to Cech ...

Étale hypercohomology of complexes
Let $K^{\bullet}$ be a bounded complex of abelian étale sheaves on a quasi-compact and quasi-separated scheme $X$.
For any étale cover $\mathcal{U} :=\{ U_i\to X\}_{i\in I}$, can we find a refinement ...

Is there a complex which computes Cech cohomology?
Suppose $X$ is a (paracompact, Hausdorff) topological space and we want to define its Cech cohomology with coefficients in $\mathbb Z$. Here is the way I have seen this constructed. For each open ...

How does Cech cohomology get around computing a delooping?
I'm trying to understand how the nlab's definition of cohomology works concretely. There, it is (very convincingly) claimed that every incarnation of "cohomology" in mathematics is a special case of ...

Etale cohomology can not be computed by Cech
It can be proven that if in a quasicompact scheme $X$ any finite subset is contained in an affine open subset then for any sheaf $\mathcal{F}$ on $X$ its Cech cohomology $\hat{H_{et}^{\bullet}}(X,\...

Canonicity of Čech cohomology
For a topological space $X$, consider the Leray covering $U_\lambda$ (i.e. $\cap U_\lambda$ is sufficiently fine, e.g. affine for Zariski topology) of $X$.
For a sheaf $F$ on $X,$ the cohomology $H^...

Characterization of global sections (which are not products) of a sheaf which is locally a product
In order to compute certain group cohomology sets I have come upon a construction which seems rather general concerning sheaves which are locally products. So I will state the problem here in a ...

Vanishing Cech cohomology
Let $X$ be a manifold such that $dim(X)=n$. It is well-know that if $\mathcal{F}$ is a coherent sheaf $H^m(X,\mathcal{F})=0$ for all $m >n$ (where I denote with $H(-)$ Cech cohomology). But is ...

cech cohomology in topos
Hi,
The following result seems to be well known, but I can't come up with a proof.
Suppose that $C$ is a topos and that $F\to G$ is an effective epimorphism in $C$. If $P$ is
any abelian sheaf on $C$...
