Čech cohomology refinement mapping
Let us consider the map $t_{AB}^*:H^1(A,F)\to H^1(B,F)$ between the cohomology groups, induced by the refinement map $t_{AB}:J\to I$, where $F$ is a sheaf of abelian groups on $X$, $A$ and $B$ are ...

Canonical product in sheaf cohomology
EDIT: Let $\mathcal{F},\mathcal{G}$ be sheaves of abelian groups on a topological space $X$. Then there exists a canonical cup product
$$H^i(X,\mathcal{F})\otimes_\mathbb{Z}H^j(X,\mathcal{G})\to H^{i+...

Geometric interpretation of sheaf cohomology
Please forgive me for the informal and naïve nature of my question, as I am a beginner in algebraic geometry.
In the famous book by Hartshorne, sheaf cohomology is defined as a certain derived functor....

How to compute cup product of derived limits / presheaf cohomology
I have a finite category $\mathcal{C}$, along with a functor $F \colon \mathcal{C}^{\mathrm{op}} \to \mathsf{GradedCommRings}$. If $F_j$ is $j$-th graded piece of $F$, then I write $H^i(\mathcal{C},...

Cohomology of doubly pinched torus via spectral sequences
Let $f:T^2\to Y$ be a resolution of singularities where $Y$ is a torus with two "pinched" points (or, if you prefer, two copies of $\mathbb{P}^1$ meeting at two points). I'm interested in ...

Yoneda product on Ext
Let $M$ be a closed manifold and consider the constant sheaf $\mathbb{R}_M$. I have heard that the Yoneda product on $\operatorname{Ext}(\mathbb{R}_M, \mathbb{R}_M)= H^*(M; \mathbb{R})$ coincides with ...

Finding the right map between cohomology with local coefficients and Čech cohomology
Let $X$ be a space which is paracompact, Hausdorff, and sufficiently nice that it has a universal covering space (and map) $p:\tilde{X}\to X$. Also, let $\pi:=\pi_1(X)$ and $A$ some $\mathbb{Z}[\pi]$-...

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 ...

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 $(X,\mathcal F)\to(Y,\mathcal G)$...

Pushforward in Compactly Supported Cohomology
Suppose $X,Y$ are locally compact Hausdorff spaces and $f:X\to Y$ is a topological submersion of relative dimension $n$. By this we mean that for all points $x\in X$, there exists an open neighborhood ...

cohomology of curves
Let $X$ be a smooth projective complex curve. Consider the diagonal $\Delta$
in $X \times X$, and $\mathcal{O}(\Delta)$ the associated line bundle.
If $j$ is the inclusion of $\Delta$ in $X \times X$ ...

Cokernel of section of a general coherent sheaf
Given a scheme $X$ and an $\mathcal{O}_{X}$-module $\mathscr{E}$, we know that a section $s \in H^{0}(X, \mathscr{E})$ is equivalent to a morphism $s :\mathcal{O}_{X} \to \mathscr{E}$. It is the ...

Continuous map with homeomorphic fibers whose associated $H^{k}_c$ sheaf is not a local system?
Let $ f: X \to Y$ be a continuous map between connected manifolds s.t. for all $y \in Y$ the fiber $f^{-1}(y)$ is homeomorphic to some fixed connected manifold $Z$.
Let $k$ be a ring and for every $...
