Homotopy limits indexed by a covering
We all know that the homotopy fiber of a continuous function $f: A \to B$ has a simple expression in terms of points and paths connecting them, that is
$$ \textrm{hofib}_y(f) = \{ (x,\gamma) \in A \...

Checking that (hyper) sheafification is fibrant in local projective model structure on simplicial presheaves
Context and Notation
Let $X$ be a manifold and $\mathcal{C} = Op(X)$ be the category of open subsets of $X$ with inclusions. I then consider the projective model structure on the (simplicial model) ...

How to compute cup product of derived limits / presheaf cohomology
I have a finite category $\mathcal{C}$, along with a functor $F \colon \mathcal{C}^{\mathrm{op}} \to \mathsf{GradedCommRings}$. If $F_j$ is $j$-th graded piece of $F$, then I write $H^i(\mathcal{C},...

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 ...

Homotopy cosheaf?
Let $C$ be a site, $\mathbf{S}$ some ($\infty$-? homotopy?) category of spaces.
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 ...

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 $X$ ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
