I have some questions such that the corresponding statements are well-known for affine varieties, and I wonder whether they hold for projective ones. Let $Z\subset X$ be a closed subvariety of a (pr …

I have two functors $F_1,F_2$ from a category $C$ into two distinct categories $D_1,D_2$. I would like to say that $F_1$ and $F_2$ are equivalent if there exists a commutative square $\require{AMScd}$ …

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a small additive category. Consider the category $PreSh(\mathcal{A})$ of all additive functors from $\mathcal{A}^{op}$ into abelian groups; note that this category is abelian and …

I am interested in certain properties Chow motives that seem to be (more or less) "classical" (so, I mostly need references; the base field may be assumed to be algebraically closed). So, consider t …

I would like to apologize for this rather stupid abstract nonsense question. Let $h=f\circ g$ for composable functors $f,g$; assume that there exist left or right adjoints to $f$ and $g$. Then it see …

Is the following fact "well-known": if $-1$ is a sum of squares in a field $k$, then the Witt group $W(k)$ of quadratic forms is killed by multiplication by $2^N$ for some $N\ge 0$? What can one say a …

Let $R$ be a regular (commutative associative unitial) algebra over a prime field $F$ (i.e. $F=F_p$ or $F=\mathbb{Q}$); assume that it is noetherian excellent (and even of Krull dimension $1$). What …

For certain matters the henselization $R$ of $\mathbb{Q}[t]$ at $0$ is a 'reasonable approximation' for $\mathbb{Q}[[t]]$ (Artin's approximation theorem and so on). Now, I would like to study certain …

Let $A\to B$ be a full embedding of exact categories that induces an embedding $D^b(A)\to D^b(B)$. My question is: what can one say about the relation of the homotopy cofibre $K(A)\to K(B)$ (the relat …

Let $A$ be a differential graded algebra, $S\subset H^*(A)$. I would like to 'kill $S$ in a canonical way'. Is it possible to do it as follows: consider the $A_\infty$-algebra structure on $H^\ast(A)$ …

How would you say that a small additive category $C$ embedds (contravariantly) into the category of exact functors from a 'large' abelian $C'$ into abelian groups (this is something like Yoneda's embe …

Suppose that a scheme $S$ is separated, excellent, and has finite Krull dimension. Which of the following statements are true: If $S$ is regular, then it can be presented as a projective limit of sm …

Let $j:U\to S$ be an (open) immesrion; let $P_U$ be a perverse (\'etale, though my question makes sense in the topological setting also) sheaf on $U$. Then I would like to say that the intermediate e …

Let $f:X\to Y$ be a local complete intersection morphism (of schemes or varieties) of (relative) dimension $c$ everywhere. Is it true that $f^!\cong f^*[2c]$ (as a functor between the derived categori …

Let $A\to X$ be a (Hurewicz) cofibration of path-connected topological spaces. Then we have a long homotopy sequence $$ \dots\to \pi_i(A)\to \pi_i(X)\to \pi_i(X,A)\to \dots; $$ here we fix a base poin …
