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}...

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 ...

Split and pure exact sequence of sheaves
Let $X$ be a topological space and
$$\varepsilon \ :\ 0 \to A \to B \to C \to 0$$
be an exact sequence of sheaves of ${\cal O}_X$-modules. $\varepsilon$ is said to be pure if
for each point $x\in X$,...

Are subfunctors of left exact functors also left exact?
Consider the direct image functor $f_*: Sh(X) \rightarrow Sh(Y)$, let $X$ and $Y$ be topological spaces, let $f: X \rightarrow Y$ be a continuous map, let $G \in Sh(X)$ be a sheaf. I was reading this ...

Soft sheaves on indiscrete paracompact spaces
Let $X$ be some space, I have basically 2 questions:

Projectivity of free O_X modules with respect to the sheafy hom?
