Etale cohomology of relative elliptic curve
Let $E_a: y^2 = x(x-1)(x-a)$ be a smooth proper relative elliptic curve over $\text{Spec}(A)$, with $a\in A$, and assume $\text{Spec}(A)$ is a $\text{Spec}(\mathbb{Q}_p)$-scheme.
Let $R^1f_*\mathbb{Q}...

Finding global sections of a sheaf of sets using (some kind of) sheaf cohomology?
Let $X$ be a compact manifold, say, and $G$ a Lie group, and $H$ a closed Lie subgroup such that $M \cong G/H$ is a homogeneous space. (For my purposes, $X$ and $M$ would be a smooth projective ...

On the generalization of a Cech-to-sheaf type spectral sequence
Let $(X,O_{X})$ be a ringed space and $\mathcal{F^{\bullet}}$ be a bounded below complex of $O_{X}$-modules on $(X,O_{X})$. On [Stacks Project 20.25.1][1] it is shown that there is a weakly convergent ...

Schur's lemma for sheaves with different reduced Hilbert polynomials
Recall Schur's Lemma for Gieseker-semistable sheaves, in particular the injectivity statement:
Let $\psi : F \to G$ be a morphism of Gieseker-semistable sheaves. If $p(F)=p(G)$ and $F$ is stable, ...

Equivariant sheafs and $G$ actions on modules
I am reading Simpson's paper on The Hodge filtration on nonabelian cohomology. In particular Chapter 5 (p.24) and I am confused about the notion of a group acting on an equivariant sheaf.
The set up ...

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)}(\...

Serre's Theorem for Coherent Sheaves
I recently heard a discussion about a certain of Serre which reconstructs the category of coherent sheaves of a variety $V$ as the category of modules over the homogeneous space of $V$ modulo modules ...

Hypercohomology of a complex via Cech cohomology
Let $X$ be a reasonable topological space. If $\mathcal{F}$ is a sheaf of abelian groups then Cech cohomology gives us a method to compute the cohomology groups $H^p(X, \mathcal{F})$ - the main input ...

Tensor product of sheaves separated?
Let $(X, O_X)$ be an arbitrary scheme and $\mathcal{F}$ a presheaf of $O_X$-modules. The presheaf $\mathcal{F}$ is said to be separated if the natural map to it's sheafification $\mathcal{F}^+$ is an ...

Do 'change of coefficients' functors for sheaves commute with the four functors (formalism)?
For a morphism $f$ of varieties over a field of characteristic $\neq l$ I can consider the functors $Rf_*$, $f^\ast$, $f_!$, and $f^!$ both for the corresponding derived categories of 'all' (...

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 ...

What are the easiest cases of base change (for sheaves on sites)?
I have a closed embedding of schemes $i:X'\to X$, and for each of them I consider three Grothendieck topologies for the category of the corresponding (relatively) \'etale schemes: the \'etale one, the ...

Do inverse images respect flabby sheaves?
Let $i:Y\to X$ be a closed embedding of varieties, and let $S$ be a flabby \'etale (or Nisnevich) sheaf of abelian groups on $X$. Is $i^*S$ flabby also? I am mostly interested in the case when $S=i_{x*...

Does one need to sheafify when defining the inverse image of a sheaf with respect to an embedding?
This seems to be a rather simple (stupid?:)) question; yet I was not able to find an answer quickly.
For a morphism $f:X\to Y$ of schemes (or topological spaces) and an (etale or topological) sheaf $...
