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:

    “Being young you have not known
    The fool’s triumph, nor yet
    Love lost as soon as won,
    Nor the best labourer dead
    And all the sheaves to bind.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
