the push forward of the differential idea of sheaf
This is about the differential idea of a sheaf as a vector bundle $E$ (not necessarily locally trivial) on a real manifold $M$ with a zero curvature connection $\nabla$. The zeroth cohomology is then ...

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 ...
