Canonical map in the direct image of $\mathscr{D}_X$
Let $f : X \to Y$ be a proper holomorphic map between holomorphic manifolds. We work with $\mathscr{D}$-modules. Consider the transfer bi-modules $\mathscr{D}_{Y\leftarrow X}.$ Can one find a ...

Does the de Rham complex induce a functorial soft resolution of the category of cochain complexes of sheaves of vector spaces on a smooth manifold?
I apologize in advance if this is pretty straightforward; I'm a differential geometer and physicist by training so my homological algebra and homotopy theory are a bit weak.
Question: Let $M$ be a ...

In terms of sheaf cohomology, what does Bott & Tu's relative de Rham cohomology $H^\bullet(f)$ compute for $f: S \to M$ a smooth map?
Given a map $f: S \to M$ of smooth manifolds, Bott & Tu define on page 78 a complex by $\Omega^q(f)=\Omega^q(M) \oplus \Omega^{q-1}(S)$ and $d(\omega, \theta)=(d\omega, f^*\omega - d\theta)$ where ...

The sheaf propagation is open in the zero section
Let $X$ a smooth manifold and $F$ a sheaf (let's say of abelian groups) on $X$. We will say that $F$ propagates at $x\in X$ in the (co)-direction $p \in T_x^*X$ if for all $C^1$-function $\phi$ ...

Relative version of de Rham cohomology with local coefficients
Given a vector bundle $E \to M$ with connection $\nabla$, we get a twisted de Rham sequence using the exterior covariant derivative:
$$\mathcal{E} \xrightarrow{d^\nabla=\nabla} \Omega^1_M \otimes_{\...

Can we use sheaf cohomology to say anything interesting for vector bundles with non-flat connections?
Given a vector bundle $E \to M$ with connection $\nabla$, we get a twisted de Rham sequence using the exterior covariant derivative:
$$0 \to \mathcal{E} \xrightarrow{d^\nabla} \Omega^1_M \otimes \...

Sections of the conormal bundle
Let $X\subset\mathbb{P}^N$ be a quadratic manifold. That is $I(X)$ is generated by quadratic polynomials $Q_1,...,Q_m$.
Let $\mathcal{I}_X$ be the ideal sheaf of $X$ and $\mathcal{I}_X/\mathcal{I}_X^...

Is this Sequences of Complexes of Sheaves Exact?
So in another question of mine there is a sequence of complexes of sheaves which the author asserts is exact.
Let $K^{\bullet} = \underline{\mathbb{C}}^* \ \underrightarrow{d\ log} \ \underline{...
