Exact sequence of groups to exact sequence of sheaves

The following is perhaps more of an extended comment than an answer. The sequence of sheaves is exact iff the quotient map $G\to H$ has a section over a neighborhood of every point (in fact, because …

Are subfunctors of left exact functors also left exact?

Here's a counterexample with additive functors on abelian categories. If $A$ is an abelian group, let $F(A)$ denote the subgroup of elements that are divisible by $2$. It is easy to see that $F:Ab\t …

Why is the rank of a locally free sheaf well-defined?

Locally free means not just that $F(U)$ is a free $O_X(U)$-module for an open cover of $U$'s, but that as a sheaf the restriction $F|_U$ is isomorphic to a direct sum of copies of $O_X|_U$. In partic …

equivalence of Grothendieck-style versus Cech-style sheaf cohomology

This isn't entirely complete, but here are some results. Exercise III.4.11 in Hartshorne gives that whenever a sheaf is acyclic on any intersection of sets in a cover, Cech cohomology agrees with the …

When does the sheaf direct image functor f_* have a right adjoint?

If $f_\ast$ has a right adjoint, it must preserve colimits and hence be right-exact. Thus a necessary condition is that the higher derived functors vanish. In particular, when everything is affine an …
