Injective Sheaf - Acyclic Sheaves

Acyclic Sheaves

An acyclic sheaf F over X is one such that all higher sheaf cohomology groups vanish.

The cohomology groups of any sheaf can be calculated from any acyclic resolution of it (this goes by the name of De Rham-Weil theorem).

Famous quotes containing the word sheaves:

    A thousand golden sheaves were lying there,
    Shining and still, but not for long to stay—
    As if a thousand girls with golden hair
    Might rise from where they slept and go away.
    Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
