K-injective (also known as hoinjective) complexes of sheaves of modules
Let $(X,\mathcal O_X)$ be a ringed space (if necessary, assume that it is a scheme with suitable hypotheses). Given two complexes of sheaves $\mathcal F$ and $\mathcal G$ of $\mathcal O_X$-modules, ...

Help understand a calculation involving RHom of sheaves on manifolds
I am reading a paper and there is some computation of RHom of sheaves that I don't understand. I hope this is the right place to ask.
It is this paper, example 3.10 , page 25

Two points of view about Borel-moore homology
They are several ways to define the Borel-Moore homology on a locally compact space $X$.
The first one is by analogy with the singular homology but instead of using finite chains, we use locally ...

Understanding the purely formal part of the sheaf theoretic (cohomological) framework for representation theory
By now I have the impression that many statements in representation theory can be phrased a lot more elegantly using cohomological language. Therefore I'm trying to understand a bit better the sheaf ...

On the ordered set of real numbers, does sheaf+cosheaf imply constant?
I have a technical question about unbounded chain complexes. I couldn't think of a descriptive title for it.
Let $P$ be a chain complex of contravariant functors on $\mathbf{R}$ (the real numbers ...

Information and intuition packed in the Chern character for coherent sheaves
even after quite some time learning it, I still get somehow puzzled by the Chern character. Let me recall some stuff to get notation and setting.
Let us consider a smooth projective algebraic variety ...

For what kind of sheaves can we always extend a sheaf map from a closed subset to the whole space?
Let $X$ be a topological space. We know that a sheaf on $X$ is call soft if for any closed subset $Z$ of $X$, a section on $Z$ can be always extend to a section on $X$.
Now we consider a similar ...

What kind of ringed space $X$ has the property that a locally free sheaf is projective in Qcoh$(X)$?
It is well known that for an affine scheme $X$, every finitely generated locally free sheaf $\mathcal{E}$ is projective in the category Qcoh$(X)$. i.e. the functor $\text{Hom}_{\text{Qcoh}(X)}(\...

Characterization of global sections (which are not products) of a sheaf which is locally a product
In order to compute certain group cohomology sets I have come upon a construction which seems rather general concerning sheaves which are locally products. So I will state the problem here in a ...

Two basic questions on derived categories
Let $\mathcal{A}, \mathcal{B}$ be two abelian categories with sufficiently many injective objects (in my case these are categories of sheaves of vector spaces on a manifold).
Let $f_*\colon \mathcal{A}...

Idea of presheaf cohomology vs. sheaf cohomology
Let $X$ be a topological space and $U$ an open cover of $X$.
In this thread Angelo explained beautifully how presheaf cohomology (Cech cohomology) relates to sheaf cohomology:
The zeroth Cech ...

Cohomological dimension of the category of sheaves
Let $X$ be an $n$-dimensional manifold. Then for any sheaf $\mathcal{F}$ on $X$, the cohomology $H^i(X; \mathcal{F})$ vanishes for $i > n$.
Let $k$ be a field, and let $\mathrm{Shv}_k(X)$ be the ...

Projectivity of free O_X modules with respect to the sheafy hom?
I've heard that given a ringed topos $(X,\mathcal{O}_X)$, the functor $Hom_{\mathcal{O}_X-\operatorname{Mod}}(\mathcal{O}_X, -)$ often fails to be exact. Is this only the case for the unenriched hom (...
