Serre spectral sequence for de Rham cohomology

Suppose we a given a fibration of manifolds $p\colon E\to M$ with a path connected fiber $F$ and simply connected $M$, then we have the Serre spectral sequence with $$ E_2^{p,q} = H^p(M,\underline{H^...

Is the sheaf associated to a differential structure of a specific type?

On a set $X$, let us define a set $\mathcal{D}$ of functions from $X$ to $\mathbb{R}$. Consider first the initial topology $\tau_\mathcal{D}$ on $X$ with respect to $\mathcal{D}$, i.e. the coarsest ...

Does the de Rham complex induce a functorial soft resolution of the category of cochain complexes of sheaves of vector spaces on a smooth manifold?

I apologize in advance if this is pretty straightforward; I'm a differential geometer and physicist by training so my homological algebra and homotopy theory are a bit weak. Question: Let $M$ be a ...
