Making the conceptual leap from locales to Grothendieck topologies?

I find the definition for locales and sheaves on locales to be straightforward, but I'm stumbling over the idea of a Grothendieck topology. Is there a nice way to see roughly how the latter ...

Differential Forms in Infinite Dimensions

In Kriegl/Michor's book "The convenient setting of global analysis", they define the space of differential $k$-forms on a possibly infinite-dimensional manifold $M$ as the space of smooth sections of ...

Refinement of hypercovers by ordinary covers

I am asking for references and discussions of statements of the form Every bounded hypercover can be refined by an ordinary cover By "bounded" I mean "finite height". E.g., are ...

What is a morphism of ∞-sites?

Recall that a morphism of sites is a covering-flat functor that preserves covering families. Morphisms of sites can be identified with those geometric morphisms of induced toposes for which the ...

Dense (∞,1)-subsites

So if $C$ is a 1-site and $D$ is a subsite (with the induced coverage), there are some conditions that ensure that the pre-composition and right Kan extension functors yield an equivalence of ...

Examples of nonstable ∞-categories in which sifted colimits commute with finite limits

What are some natural examples (if any) of nonstable ∞-categories in which finite limits commute with sifted colimits (or rather just colimits over Δ^op)? Stable ∞-categories do satisfy this property,...

Flasque sheaves on a site

This is a cross-post from MathStackexchange. We define a flasque sheaf on a site as one whose first Čech cohomology vanishes for every covering of every object of the site. I know this definition is ...

Small sheaves on big sites

Background: If one works with sheaves on small etale site over a fixed scheme (which is really an essentially large category), one can instead work with sheaves on the affine etale site (which turns ...

Pullback of a constant sheaf over arbitrary sites

Given a geometric morphism between arbitrary Grothendieck topoi, $f:\mathcal{Sh(D)}\to\mathcal{Sh(C)}$, does the pullback $f^{-1}$ (i.e, the left adjoint) take constant sheafs to constant sheafs?

Why can we not convert GATs / EATs / limit sketches to sites?

I think I'm in the process of understanding something very subtle here, and I could use an expert's double check. So basically, my question is whether what I write is correct. (Non-finitary) GATs, ...
