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 $\...

Delta distribution on manifolds
Let $M$ be a manifold. There is the sheaf of distributions $\mathcal{D}'$ and the sheaf of distribution densities $\mathcal{D}(\cdot)'$ on $M$. A delta distribution density $\delta_p \in \mathcal{D}(M)...

Clarification on smooth de Rham theorem
I am misunderstanding something in Theorem 2.1.9 in Dimca’s Sheaves in Topology:
Let $X$ be a real smooth manifold. Then the natural morphism from the constant sheaf to the de Rham complex

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,\...

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{...

For which locally ringed spaces is the structure sheaf given by LRS morphisms to the real line?
Let $\mathsf{LRS}_{\mathbb R}$ denote the category of locally $\mathbb R$-ringed spaces.
Given a locally ringed space $(X,\mathcal O_X)$, write $C_{(X,\mathcal O_X)}^p$ for the hom-sheaf on $X$ of ...

On sections into Banach bundles over a compact manifold
Let $M$ be a smooth, compact manifold and $\xi: \mathcal B \to M$ a smooth complex Banach bundle over $M$. Here, smooth is understood to be in the Fréchet-sense. Further, let $p: V \to M$ be an ...

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 ...

How to view $\textbf{Sh}(\textbf{CartSp})/X$ as "space" in its own right, étale machinery from abstract nonsense perspective for smooth manifolds
Let $\textbf{CartSp}$ be the category of spaces of the from $\mathbb{R}^n$ with smooth maps between them. This is a site with respect to (differentially) good open covers, so consider the Grothendieck ...

Can a smooth function on a cross be extended to the whole plane?
Consider a real function on the union of two lines R×0 and 0×R in R² whose restrictions to R×0 and 0×R are smooth functions R→R.
Is it possible to extend this function to a smooth function on R²?

smooth manifold vs. exceptional inverse image
A well-known theorem in topology says that for a smooth manifold $M$ of dimension $n$ the map $f: M \rightarrow point$ satisfies
$$f^! \mathbf R = \mathbf R[n]$$
Here $\mathbf R$ is the constant sheaf....
