Isbell duality between algebras and sheaves

nLab says on Isbell duality, the following: A general abstract adjunction $(\mathcal{O} \dashv \operatorname{Spec}) : \mathrm{CoPresheaves} \leftrightarrows \mathrm{Presheaves}$ relates (higher) ...

Refinement of hypercovers by ordinary covers

I am asking for references and discussions of statements of the form Every bounded hypercover can be refined by an ordinary cover By "bounded" I mean "finite height". E.g., are ...

Topos with enough projectives

It is often observed that every presheaf topos has enough projectives, as a corollary of the result that representables are projective and every presheaf is a colimit of representables. We also have ...

Colimits of quasi-coherent sheaves on a ringed space

Recall from the stacks project that a sheaf of modules $F$ on a ringed space $X$ is called quasi-coherent if there is an open covering $\{U_i\}$ such that each $F|_{U_i}$ has a presentation, i.e. is ...

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 ...

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 the constant sheaf for a Serre's fibration

Let $f\colon X\to Y$ be a proper continuous map of topological spaces which is a Serre's fibration. $X$ and $Y$ may be assumed to be locally compact, $Y$ is connected topological manifold of finite ...

Do 'change of coefficients' functors for sheaves commute with the four functors (formalism)?

For a morphism $f$ of varieties over a field of characteristic $\neq l$ I can consider the functors $Rf_*$, $f^\ast$, $f_!$, and $f^!$ both for the corresponding derived categories of 'all' (...

Topos as a totally cocomplete object in a 2-category CART

In the preface to Sketches of an elephant, Peter Johnstone gives a list of characterizations of topos, some applicable to elementary (ii- finite limits and power objects) other to Grothendieck (i- ...

Infinity-categorical exceptional push-forward

Classically, if $f:X\to Y$ is a map of locally compact Hausdorff topological spaces, one can define the exceptional push-forward functor $f_!:Sh(X;k)\to Sh(Y;k)$ among $k$-valued sheaves for, say, a ...

Can one construct Freyd-Mitchell's embeddings that respect sheafifications?

For a certain presheaf $P$ with values in an abelian category $A$ satisfying AB5 and its sheafification $S$ (with respect to a small Grothendieck site) I would like to prove: $S(f):S(X)\to S(Y)$ is ...

Embedding abelian categories into abelian sheaves

The Yoneda functor from an abelian category into sheaves of abelian groups is shown to be exact in The Stacks Project, Lemma 19.9.2. I like this proof because it is constructive and it doesn't use ...

Equivariant sheafs and $G$ actions on modules

I am reading Simpson's paper on The Hodge filtration on nonabelian cohomology. In particular Chapter 5 (p.24) and I am confused about the notion of a group acting on an equivariant sheaf. The set up ...

What kind of ringed space $X$ has the property that a locally free sheaf is projective in Qcoh$(X)$?

It is well known that for an affine scheme $X$, every finitely generated locally free sheaf $\mathcal{E}$ is projective in the category Qcoh$(X)$. i.e. the functor $\text{Hom}_{\text{Qcoh}(X)}(\...

Singular cohomology as a sheaf of $\infty$-categories

In several expositions of $\infty$-categories, I read that singular cohomology of a topological space with integral coefficients is a sheaf valued in $D(\mathbb{Z})$, if we consider Top and $D(\mathbb{...

The conormal sheaf is the sheaf of sections of the conormal bundle for smooth manifolds

$\def\sO{\mathcal{O}} \def\d{\mathrm{d}}$In ringed spaces theory, there is a notion of “conormal sheaf of an immersion” (mainly used in scheme theory), whereas in smooth manifold theory, there is the ...

On the generalization of a Cech-to-sheaf type spectral sequence

Let $(X,O_{X})$ be a ringed space and $\mathcal{F^{\bullet}}$ be a bounded below complex of $O_{X}$-modules on $(X,O_{X})$. On [Stacks Project 20.25.1][1] it is shown that there is a weakly convergent ...

What are the easiest cases of base change (for sheaves on sites)?

I have a closed embedding of schemes $i:X'\to X$, and for each of them I consider three Grothendieck topologies for the category of the corresponding (relatively) \'etale schemes: the \'etale one, the ...

Do inverse images respect flabby sheaves?

Let $i:Y\to X$ be a closed embedding of varieties, and let $S$ be a flabby \'etale (or Nisnevich) sheaf of abelian groups on $X$. Is $i^*S$ flabby also? I am mostly interested in the case when $S=i_{x*...

The Mayer-Viertoris exact sequence as a (Zariski) descent spectral sequence.

Invariance of categories of sheaves (on simplicial presheaves) under (local) weak equivalence

On inverse images with respect to Zariski-etale topology.

For a variety $X$ I define its Zariski-etale site as follows: the category is the category of etale $X$-schemes, and the coverings are Zariski ones. Note that this topology is more coarse than the ...
