Why do Kashiwara and Schapira require a base ring of finite global dimension?

In the book "Sheaves on Manifolds" by Kashiwara and Schapira, they work always with sheaves of $R$-modules, where $R$ is a ring of finite global dimension. Why do they do this, what care ...

Formality of a category of constructible sheaves

Let $X= S^1 \wedge S^1$ be a wedge of circles. Then $X$ admits a natural stratification $\mathcal{S}$ as a union of two disjoint open intervals $I_1, I_2$ and a point $\{*\}$. Let $D_{\mathcal{S}}(X)$ ...

Constructible sheaves on general stratified spaces

I am not an expert in the field, so my question might be rather standard. Let $X$ be a compact metric space. Assume that $X=\cup_{i=1}^NS_i$ is a finite disjoint union of locally closed topological ...

Push-forward of a locally constant sheaf using two homotopic maps

Let $X,Y$ be compact smooth manifolds. Let $f,g\colon X\to Y$ be smooth submersions (in particular, locally trivial bundles) which are homotopic to each other (in the class of smooth maps, not ...

If the set of non-0 stalks of F is relatively open, is the same true of its Verdier dual?

Let $X$ be a complex manifold, $F$ a bounded complex of $\Bbb C_X$-modules with constructible cohomology. If the set $\{x: F_x\neq0\}$ is relatively open (i.e. open in its closure), is the same true ...

Galoisian perspective on local system tamely ramified along a smooth divisor

This question is about (1.7.8) and (1.7.11) in Deligne’s Weil II paper. Let $X$ be a regular scheme and $D\subset X$ a smooth principal divisor cut out by the function $t$. Let $\mathcal F$ be a ...
