Bott & Tu differential forms Example 10.1
In Bott & Tu's "Differential forms", Example 10.1 states:
$\textbf{Example 10.1}$ Let $\pi: E \to M$ be a fiber bundle with fiber $F$. Define a presheaf on $M$ by $\mathcal F(U) = H^q(\...

Example of a Sheaf (on the site of smooth manifolds) with Nontrivial Cohomology on $\mathbb{R}^n$?
Does such a sheaf of abelian groups exist? If not, is there a reference or a proof? Does such a sheaf of non-abelian groups exist?
I realized recently that while I've taken it for granted that ...

Question regarding affine fibre bundles
Let $f:X\to Y$ be a morphism of affine varieties such that it is a fibre bundle with fibre $F$. Let $\pi_1(Y)=\Gamma$ be a free group (non abelian) of finite rank and $\pi_1(F)$ is a finite group $G$ ...

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 ...

Reference request: sheaves on the site of d-manifolds
I believe I know how to prove the following results. I also know to whom to cite fancy-shmancy results that have these as a very special case. My question is: what are the correct citations for ...
