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 ...

Topology on cohomology of a sheaf of topological groups
Let $X$ be a topological space and $\mathcal{F}$ be a sheaf of commutative topological groups on $X$. I am interested in the following question:
Is there a natural way to introduce topology on $H^i(X,...

Elementary reference for Borel-Moore/locally finite homology
There is a homology theory called "Borel-Moore" or "locally finite" homology, which can either be constructed by using locally-finite chains or by more advanced sheaf-theoretic ...

Inception of modern view of Sheaf Cohomology in Mathematical Literature
From wikipedia entry on Sheaf Cohomology I have found the intriguing passage: 'The essential point is to fix a topological space X and think of cohomology as a functor from sheaves of abelian groups ...

Equivalence of different cohomology groups
Let $X$ be a topological space (may be assumed to be locally compact). Let $A$ be either a field or $\mathbb{Z}$. One can consider various cohomology groups:
(1) singular cohomology $H_{sing}^*(X,A)$;...

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 ...

Construction of generalized Eilenberg-MacLane spaces
The Eilenberg-MacLane spaces $K(G,q)$ are readily generalized to study cohomology with local coefficients.The generalized Eilenberg-MacLane space $K_{\pi}(G,q)$ are spaces with only two nnvanishing ...

Top cohomology detecting compactness
I am looking for a reference for the fact that the top cohomology $H^n(X;A)$ of an $n$-dimensional manifold $X$ is non-trivial precisely when $X$ is compact.
I tried to ask this question on Math....
