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 ...

Results in “generalised smooth spaces” that did not hold in the case of smooth manifolds
Consider the category of smooth manifolds $\text{Man}$. I quote from n-lab page:
Manifolds are fantastic spaces. It’s a pity that there aren’t more of them.
I understand that this category $\text{...

Natural operators in differential geometry - why are they natural?
I'm reading bits and pieces of Kolar, Michor, & Slovak's Natural Operations in differential Geometry, and I'm having "doubt" about some of the definitions. All I'm trying to do is sheafify some of ...

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,\...

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 $\...
