Grothendieck spectral sequence (cohomology version) for posets with functor coefficient
In this paper, Quillen mentioned a spectral sequence as follows.
Let $f:X\to Y$ is a poset map and $\mathcal{F}:X\to Ab$, where $Ab$ is the category of abelian groups, a functor which is contravariant ...

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_{...

Are these comparison morphisms between Čech and Grothendieck cohomology the same?
For better or for worse, there is more than one approach to comparing Čech cohomology $\smash{\check{H}}^\bullet(\mathfrak{U},X;\mathscr{F})$ of a sheaf $\mathscr{F}$ on a space $X$ w.r.t the cover $\...
