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 ...

Relative Dolbeault cohomology using currents

I need to compute the cohomology groups of some relative holomorphic $i$-forms $H^\bullet(X, \Omega^i_{X/Y})$ for a fibration of complex manifolds $X\to Y$, using a kind of distributional de Rham ...

Reference for isomorphism between group cohomology and singular cohomology

Let $G$ be a (discrete) group, $X$ a topological space that works as a classifying space for $G$, and $\mathcal{L}$ a local system on $X$ with stalk $L$. It is a fairly standard result that $$ H^i(G, ...

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,...

Cohomology and base change without Noetherian assumption

In the "The Rising Sea" by Vakil one can find the base change theorem for proper morphisms over a locally Noetherian base (28.1.6). He later indicates (28.2.M) how one could exchange the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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....

Can morphisms of Mayer-Vietoris triangles be completed into a $3\times 3$ square?

Let $(X,\mathcal{O}_X)$ be a topological ringed space and $(U,V)$ be an open covering of $X$ (i.e. $U$ and $V$ are two open subsets of $X$ such that $U\cup V=X$). Let $\mathcal{F}$ and $\mathcal{F}'$ ...

Naive question on local cohomology

Let $X$ be a smooth, projective variety and $Z_1, Z_2$ two smooth, projective subvarieties in $X$ of the same dimension. Let $E$ be a locally free sheaf on $X$. Recall, there are natural morphims: $$...

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 $H_{sing}^*(X,A)$;...

Does the higher cohomology of a quasi-coherent sheaf on a Stein manifold vanish?

It is a well-known result in algebraic geometry that if $X$ is an affine scheme and $\mathcal{F}$ is a quasi-coherent sheaf on $X$, then the higher cohomologies of $\mathcal{F}$ vanish, i.e. $$ H^i(X,\...

$A_\infty$ structure on sum of twists of structure sheaf

Fix $n$ and let $P^n$ be projective $n$-space. Let $S = k[x_0, \dots, x_n]$. Set $A^0 = \bigoplus_{d \ge 0} H^0(P^n, \mathcal{O}(d))$ and $A^n = \bigoplus_{d < -n} H^n(P^n, \mathcal{O}(d))$. I ...

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 ...
