Necessity of hypercovers for sheaf condition for simplicial sheaves
I'm trying to understand where the definition of simplicial sheaf on a space/site comes from.
For a presheaf $F$ of sets on a topological space $X$, the sheaf condition can be viewed as saying that ...

Sheaves of complexes and complexes of sheaves
Let A be an abelian category, and X a topological space.
There are two ways one could try to construct some oo-category of sheaves on X from this data:
Consider the category $Sh(X,A)$ of sheaves on ...

Finiteness conditions on simplicial sheaves/presheaves
Could someone give an overview, or just some examples, of "finiteness conditions" for simplicial sheaves/presheaves and/or simplicial schemes? Any answer or comment about this would be interesting, ...

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 $f^{-1}$)...

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 ...

Homotopical descent information contained in the Dwyer-Kan function complexes of a presheaf category?
Recall that the category of sheaves on some site $C$ equipped with a grothendieck topology $\tau$ is equivalent to the localization of the category of presheaves $W^{-1}Psh(C)$ at $W$ where $W$ is the ...

Topologies (and sheaves) on Cat and CAT
I've been wondering lately what sort of Grothendieck (pre)topologies there are on $Cat$ (the category of small categories) and $CAT$ (the v. large category of large categories - to forestall criticism ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Is it always possible to write a derived manifold (in the sense of Spivak) as a homotopy colimit of principal derived manifolds?
Is it always possible to write a derived manifold as a homotopy colimit of principal derived manifolds (i.e. zero sets of smooth functions)? This is true for schemes and derived schemes, so it seems ...

Generalities on sheaves - Where can I find the technology that can make this "proof" of Atiyah duality precise?
Fix $R$ an $E_{\infty}$ ring spectrum which admits a "six functor formalism" over a suitable class of spaces (by which I mean a context in which what I'm about to say can be made correct).
Let $X$ ...

Homotopy cosheaf?

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 ...

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 ...
