What kind of spectral sequences come from double complexes?

Given a double complex in the first quadrant, one can derive from it a (homological or cohomological) spectral sequence converging to the (co)homology of the total complex of the double complex. My ...

Unbounded complexes, resolutions and computation of derived functors

Hey guys, let $F: \mathcal{A} \rightarrow \mathcal{B}$ be a left exact functor between abelian categories with enough injectives, let $K \in Kom(\mathcal{A})$ be an unbounded complex, I've heard that ...

Tracking spectral sequence differentials

I read a number of posts here on MO, but haven't quite found an answer to the question of where the differentials in a spectral sequence come from. I came across a differential $d^{0,1}$ on the $E_2$-...

Inverse limit of spectral sequences

I find myself in the following situation: I have a sequence of first quadrant spectral sequences, let's call them $ E(n)_{p,q}^* $, each convergent to $E(n)_{p,q}^\infty$, with spectral sequence ...

On the multiplicative structure in spectral sequences.

Let $f\colon X \rightarrow Y$ be a continuous map of sufficiently nice topological spaces (say, smooth manifolds). Let ${\cal F}=(\dots\rightarrow F_i \rightarrow F_{i+1}\to \dots)$ be a bounded ...

Grothendieck spectral sequence [duplicate]

Possible Duplicate: Composing left and right derived functors Hi, probably this question is obvious. I apologize for this. Given functors $F$ and $G$ left exact, with as good properties as you ...

colimits of spectral sequences

I'm looking for some references about colimits of spectral sequences. More precisely: let $X : I \longrightarrow \cal{C}$ be a functor from a filtered category $I$ to the category of double cochain ...

Why are spectral sequences so ubiquitous?

I sort of understand the definition of a spectral sequence and am aware that it is an indispensable tool in modern algebraic geometry and topology. But why is this the case, and what can one do with ...

Is the first filtration Hausdorff?

Maybe this is too technical and elementary, but I cannot make up my mind, nor find a reference. The situation is the following: let $X$ be a double cochain (right half-plane) complex of abelian ...

Colimit of intersections

Let $B_i^p$ be a family of sets, where $p\in \mathbb{N}$ and $i \in I$, $I$ being a directed set, and such that, for every $i$, we have a descending chain of inclusions $$ \dots \supset B_i^{p-1} \...

Convergence of right half-plane spectral sequence bounded on the right

This is a sequel to my previous question colimits of spectral sequences . I think I've found the answer in S.A. Mitchell's paper "Hypercohomology spectra and Thomason's descent theorem". There the ...

Question about hypercohomology / spectral sequence of a complex of "almost-acyclic" sheaves

I have a very particular situation involving a (non-exact) complex $K$ of coherent sheaves on a nonsingular projective variety $X$, and I need to compute the hypercohomology of the complex. The ...

How does one get the short exact sequence in a two-column spectral sequence?

In a two-column double complex, one gets from the associated spectral sequence short exact sequences $0\to E_2^{1,n-1}\to H^n\to E_2^{0,n}\to 0$, where $H^n$ is the cohomology of the total complex, ...
