The category of presheaves $Pre(C)$ on a small category $C$ is the category of functors $C^{op}\to Sets$. Since the category of sets is co-complete and every presheaf is a colimit of representable one …

(This question is related to this one) Let $k$ be a field and consider the category $Sch/k$ of schemes over $k$, say also separable and of finite type. The Yoneda embedding $$ Y:Sch/k \to Pre(Sch/k) …

The first time I got in touch with the abstract notion of a sheaf on a topological space $X$, I thought of it as something which assigns to an open set $U$ of $X$ something like the ring of continuous …

Let $R$ be a, say, noetherian ring and $M$ an $R$-module. The Wikipedia article on 'locally free sheaf' tells me that the following two statements are equivalent: The module $M$ is locally free (Edi …

Let $X$ be a finite CW complex. Swan's theorem provide an equivalence $$ {\rm Vec}(X)\xrightarrow\sim{\rm ProjMod}(\mathop{\rm hom}\nolimits_{\rm Top}(X,\mathbb{R})) $$ between the category of finite …

Consider a topos, i.e. the category $Shv$ of sheaves on a Grothendieck site $T$ with values in abelian groups. The category $Shv$ is symmetric monoidal with $\otimes$, the tensor product in every degr …
