Proving that $H^1(X,\mathcal{Hom}(\mathcal{G},\mathcal{E})) \cong \text{Ext}^1(\mathcal{G},\mathcal{E})$ holds for locally free sheaves
The following passage is from a thesis I'm reading:
Suppose we have a short exact sequence of vector bundles $$0 \to \mathcal{E} \to \mathcal{F}\to \mathcal{G} \to 0.$$ Since these sheaves are ...

Relationship between $H^1(X, \mathbb{T})$ and complex line bundles
Let $X$ be a compact metric space and consider the sheaf cohomology group $H^1(X, \mathbb{T})$. From a class in $H^1(X, \mathbb{T})$, I can get a principal $\mathbb{T}$-bundle over $X$ and from this, ...

Elementary way to compute Hodge numbers of Grassmanian
I know that by using Hodge decomposition and the fact that Schubert cells are Hodge cycles you can compute the Hodge numbers of Grassmanian but is there a more elementary way to compute sheaf ...

Serre vanishing on one-point blow-ups
This is basically the last step of problem 5.3.7 in Huybrechts' Complex Geometry.
Let $X$ be a complex manifold, $x \in X$, $E$ a holomorphic vector bundle on $X$ and $L$ a positive line bundle. ...

Sheaf / de Rham cohomology of a stack with values in a complex of abelian sheaves
I am reading Differentiable Stacks and Gerbes to understand about (hyper) cohomology groups of a stack $\mathcal{X}$ with values in a complex $\mathcal{M}$ of abelian sheaves over $\mathcal{X}$.

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^...

Sheaf cohomology with compact supports (and Verdier duality?)
Consider a manifold and a complex where cochains are sections of vector bundles and coboundary maps are differential operators, which are locally exact except in lowest degree (think de Rham complex). ...

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{...

Non-realizable CR structures?
Hill, Penrose, and Sparling have an example of a non-realizable CR structure, a 5-manifold $M^5$ that comes equipped with a "twisted version" of the Lewy operator for the quadric $Q^2$,
$v = \frac{1}{...
