Possible relation between causal-net condensation and algebraic K theory

Causal-net condensation is a natural construction which takes a symmetric monoidal category or permutative category $\mathcal{S}$ as input date and produces a functor $\mathcal{L}_\mathcal{S}: \mathbf{...

Does coproduct preserve cohomology in differential graded algebra category

Consider two cochain DGA (differential graded algebras) named $A$ and $B$. By "coproduct" of two DGA I mean the category theory coproduct, not the coalgebra coproduct. It is defined in "...

In Mann's six-functor formalism, do diagrams with the forget-supports map commute?

One of the main goals in formalizing six-functor formalisms is to obtain some sort of "coherence theorem", affirming that "every diagram that should commute, commutes". In these ...

How acyclic models led to idea of model categories

The Wikipedia article about Acyclic models notices that the way that they were used in the proof of the Eilenberg–Zilber theorem laid the foundation stone to the idea of the model category. Could ...

Are two different definitions for Čech cohomology equivalent?

In Spanier's book Algebraic Topology (Chapter 6 section 7) he defines Čech cohomology in terms of the nerves of open coverings. I wish to know if this is equivalent, for a topological space A closed ...

Do pretopoi have cohomology and homotopy groups?

Grothendieck topoi have cohomology: the abelian category of abelian group objects in a topos has enough injectives, hence one can consider the right derived functors of the global sections functor ...

Is there a "Kunneth isomorphism" for internal hom of chain complexes?

If $X^\bullet$ and $Y^\bullet$ are chain complexes over a field, we know from Kunneth theorem that $$H^*((X\otimes Y)^\bullet)\cong H^*(X^\bullet)\otimes H^*(Y^\bullet) $$ I want to know if there is a ...

Extension groups in quotient categories

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be an abelian category and let $\mathcal{B}$ be a Serre subcategory of $\mathcal{A}$. We can form the quotient category $\mathcal{A}/\mathcal{B}$, and the canonical functor $Q:\...

Is every middle exact functor a derived functor?

Assume for the sake of simplicity we are working with categories of modules over some ring. Call a functor $F$ middle exact if for an exact sequence $ 0 \to A \to B \to C \to 0 $, we have that $FA \to ...

Are cohomology functors sheaves?

Question is the following: Is the functor $H^n_{dR}:\text{Man}\rightarrow \text{Set}$ a sheaf with respect to open cover topology on $\text{Man}$? More generally, are cohomology functors sheaves in ...

When is $\mathcal{D}(\mathcal{F}):\mathcal{D}(\mathcal{A})\to \mathcal{D}(\mathcal{B})$ fully faithful?

Let $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ be two abelian categories and let $\mathcal{F}:\mathcal{A}\to \mathcal{B}$ be an additive functor. Assume that $\mathcal{F}$ is exact and let $\mathcal{D}(\mathcal{...

Category of spaces/sheaves

Consider the following category $\mathcal C$: An object of $\mathcal C$ is a pair $(X,\mathcal F)$ where $X$ is a space and $\mathcal F$ is a sheaf on $X$. A morphism $(X,\mathcal F)\to(Y,\mathcal G)$...

Unifying "cohomology groups classify extensions" theorems

It is common for the first or second degree of various cohomologies to classify extensions of various sorts. Here are some examples of what I mean: 1) Derived functor of hom, $\text{Ext}^1_R(M, N)$. ...
