Is there an Infinite dimensional sheaf theory for analysis on manifolds?
I apologize if this question is slightly vague but I don't know how to ask it non-vaguely. Moreover, my question is about an ideal situation. If there's a close answer which doesn't satisfy all the ...

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 ...

Is there any notion of "smoothification" from $\mathbb{R}$-schemes to generalized smooth spaces?
I will write $\operatorname{Diff}$ to denote a category of generalized smooth spaces e.g. $Sh(\mathsf{CartSp})$. Is there a version of $\operatorname{Diff}$ for which there exists a functor $\mathcal{...

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 \...

Is the category of diffeological spaces a full subcategory of locally ringed spaces?
It is known that the natural functor of smooth functions from the category of smooth manifolds into the category of locally ringed spaces is a full embedding (see, for example, here).
Is a similar ...

Sheaf-like reconstruction of a continuous function
Let $X$ and $Y$ be topological manifolds and let $\{(\phi_x,U_x)\}_{x \in X}$ and $\{(\psi_y,Y_y)\}_{y \in Y}$ be respective atlases of $X$ and $Y$; with each $\phi_x:U_x\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^n,\...

Properties of microlocalization
Let $i: M\hookrightarrow X$ be the inclusion of a closed submanifold in a smooth manifold $X$. I denote by $T_MX$ the normal bundle to $M$ in $X$, by $T^{\ast}_MX$ its dual bundle, and by $D^b(X)$ the ...

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 ...

Are manifolds "naturally" ringed or locally ringed spaces?
My question is about whether it's more natural to see manifolds as ringed spaces or as locally ringed spaces. I think I have arguments for both points of view.
On the one hand, it's reasonable to ...

Cohomology of differentiable stacks: should the sheaf be fine?
I'm reading these Behrend's notes on cohomology of stacks, and I can't get over a detail in the fifth page.
Let $X_\bullet=(X_1\rightrightarrows X_0)$ be a Lie groupoid and let $\mathcal{N}$ be its ...

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 ...

Pullback by surjective submersion is injective?
Denote by $\mathcal{D}'_X$ the sheaf of distributions on a smooth manifold $X$.
Let $M$ and $N$ be smooth manifolds and $\Phi: M \to N$ a submersion. Then $\Phi$ defines a unique morphism of sheaves $\...

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 ...

Canonicity in split sequence in cotangent spaces
Let $X$ be a locally ringed space. We have for a point $p$ the exact sequence
$$0\to \mathfrak{m}_p^2\to \mathfrak{m}_p\to \mathfrak{m}_p/\mathfrak{m}_p^2 \to 0$$
where $\mathfrak{m}_p$ is the maximal ...

If the set of non-0 stalks of F is relatively open, is the same true of its Verdier dual?
Let $X$ be a complex manifold, $F$ a bounded complex of $\Bbb C_X$-modules with constructible cohomology. If the set $\{x: F_x\neq0\}$ is relatively open (i.e. open in its closure), is the same true ...

What essential property justifies the name "derivative"?
Most, if not all, of the notions of derivative that I have so far seen have the property that they are locally defined -- meaning that the derivative of a map-type object at a point depends on the map ...

Construction of a Hermitian metric on a locally free subsheaf which is not a subbundle
Assume $X$ is a smooth projective curve over $\mathbb{C}$ and let $\mathcal{E}$ be a locally free sheaf of rank 2 on $X$. We pick a closed point $x\in X$ and a surjection $f: \mathcal{E}\rightarrow k(...
