Sheaves and Homotopy Theory
SHEAVES AND HOMOTOPY THEORY DANIEL DUGGER The purpose of this note is to describe the homotopy-theoretic version of sheaf theory developed in the work of Thomason [14] and Jardine [7, 8, 9]; a few enhancements are provided here and there, but the bulk of the material should be credited to them. Their work is the foundation from which Morel and Voevodsky build their homotopy theory for schemes [12], and it is our hope that this exposition will be useful to those striving to understand that material. Our motivating examples will center on these applications to algebraic geometry. Some history: The machinery in question was invented by Thomason as the main tool in his proof of the Lichtenbaum-Quillen conjecture for Bott-periodic algebraic K-theory. He termed his constructions `hypercohomology spectra', and a detailed examination of their basic properties can be found in the first section of [14]. Jardine later showed how these ideas can be elegantly rephrased in terms of model categories (cf. [8], [9]). In this setting the hypercohomology construction is just a certain fibrant replacement functor. His papers convincingly demonstrate how many questions concerning algebraic K-theory or ´etale homotopy theory can be most naturally understood using the model category language. In this paper we set ourselves the specific task of developing some kind of homotopy theory for schemes. The hope is to demonstrate how Thomason's and Jardine's machinery can be built, step-by-step, so that it is precisely what is needed to solve the problems we encounter. The papers mentioned above all assume a familiarity with Grothendieck topologies and sheaf theory, and proceed to develop the homotopy-theoretic situation as a generalization of the classical case. -

MAPPING STACKS AND CATEGORICAL NOTIONS OF PROPERNESS DANIEL HALPERN-LEISTNER AND ANATOLY PREYGEL Abstract. One fundamental consequence of a scheme being proper is that there is an algebraic space classifying maps from it to any other finite type scheme, and this result has been extended to proper stacks. We observe, however, that it also holds for many examples where the source is a geometric stack, such as a global quotient. In our investigation, we are lead naturally to certain properties of the derived category of a stack which guarantee that the mapping stack from it to any geometric finite type stack is algebraic. We develop methods for establishing these properties in a large class of examples. Along the way, we introduce a notion of projective morphism of algebraic stacks, and prove strong h-descent results which hold in the setting of derived algebraic geometry but not in classical algebraic geometry.

Noncommutative Stacks
Noncommutative Stacks Introduction One of the purposes of this work is to introduce a noncommutative analogue of Artin’s and Deligne-Mumford algebraic stacks in the most natural and sufficiently general way. We start with quasi-coherent modules on fibered categories, then define stacks and prestacks. We define formally smooth, formally unramified, and formally ´etale cartesian functors. This provides us with enough tools to extend to stacks the glueing formalism we developed in [KR3] for presheaves and sheaves of sets. Quasi-coherent presheaves and sheaves on a fibered category. Quasi-coherent sheaves on geometric (i.e. locally ringed topological) spaces were in- troduced in fifties. The notion of quasi-coherent modules was extended in an obvious way to ringed sites and toposes at the moment the latter appeared (in SGA), but it was not used much in this generality. Recently, the subject was revisited by D. Orlov in his work on quasi-coherent sheaves in commutative an noncommutative geometry [Or] and by G. Laumon an L. Moret-Bailly in their book on algebraic stacks [LM-B]. Slightly generalizing [R4], we associate with any functor F (regarded as a category over a category) the category of ’quasi-coherent presheaves’ on F (otherwise called ’quasi- coherent presheaves of modules’ or simply ’quasi-coherent modules’) and study some basic properties of this correspondence in the case when the functor defines a fibered category. Imitating [Gir], we define the quasi-topology of 1-descent (or simply ’descent’) and the quasi-topology of 2-descent (or ’effective descent’) on the base of a fibered category (i.e. -

On sheaf cohomology and natural expansions ∗ Ana Luiza Tenório, IME-USP, [email protected] Hugo Luiz Mariano, IME-USP, [email protected] July 12, 2021 Abstract In this survey paper, we present Čech and sheaf cohomologies – themes that were presented by Koszul in University of São Paulo ([42]) during his visit in the late 1950s – we present expansions for categories of generalized sheaves (i.e, Grothendieck toposes), with examples of applications in other cohomology theories and other areas of mathematics, besides providing motivations and historical notes. We conclude explaining the difficulties in establishing a cohomology theory for elementary toposes, presenting alternative approaches by considering constructions over quantales, that provide structures similar to sheaves, and indicating researches related to logic: constructive (intuitionistic and linear) logic for toposes, sheaves over quantales, and homological algebra. 1 Introduction Sheaf Theory explicitly began with the work of J. Leray in 1945 [46]. The nomenclature “sheaf” over a space X, in terms of closed subsets of a topological space X, first appeared in 1946, also in one of Leray’s works, according to [21]. He was interested in solving partial differential equations and build up a strong tool to pass local properties to global ones. Currently, the definition of a sheaf over X is given by a “coherent family” of structures indexed on the lattice of open subsets of X or as étale maps (= local homeomorphisms) into X. Both arXiv:2008.10677v3 [math.CT] 9 Jul 2021 formulations emerged in the late 1940s and early 1950s in Cartan’s seminars and, in modern terms, they are intimately related by an equivalence of categories. -

By model theory we will mostly mean first order, finitary model theory. Categorical model theory (or, more generally, categorical logic) is a general category-theoretic approach to logic that includes infinitary, intuitionistic, and even multi-valued logics. Say More Later. 3 Chapter I A Brief Survey of Contemporary Model Theory I.1 Some History Up until to the seventies and early eighties, model theory was a very broad subject, including topics such as infinitary logics, generalized quantifiers, and probability logics (which are actually back in fashion today in the form of con- tinuous model theory), and had a very set-theoretic flavour. -
Monads of Effective Descent Type and Comonadicity
Theory and Applications of Categories, Vol. 16, No. 1, 2006, pp. 1–45. MONADS OF EFFECTIVE DESCENT TYPE AND COMONADICITY BACHUKI MESABLISHVILI Abstract. We show, for an arbitrary adjunction F U : B→Awith B Cauchy complete, that the functor F is comonadic if and only if the monad T on A induced by the adjunction is of effective descent type, meaning that the free T-algebra functor F T : A→AT is comonadic. This result is applied to several situations: In Section 4 to give a sufficient condition for an exponential functor on a cartesian closed category to be monadic, in Sections 5 and 6 to settle the question of the comonadicity of those functors whose domain is Set,orSet, or the category of modules over a semisimple ring, in Section 7 to study the effectiveness of (co)monads on module categories. Our final application is a descent theorem for noncommutative rings from which we deduce an important result of A. Joyal and M. Tierney and of J.-P. Olivier, asserting that the effective descent morphisms in the opposite of the category of commutative unital rings are precisely the pure monomorphisms. 1. Introduction Let A and B be two (not necessarily commutative) rings related by a ring homomorphism i : B → A. The problem of Grothendieck’s descent theory for modules with respect to i : B → A is concerned with the characterization of those (right) A-modules Y for which there is X ∈ ModB andanisomorphismY X⊗BA of right A-modules. Because of a fun- damental connection between descent and monads discovered by Beck (unpublished) and B´enabou and Roubaud [6], this problem is equivalent to the problem of the comonadicity of the extension-of-scalars functor −⊗BA :ModB → ModA. -

Sheaf Theory Through Examples (Abridged Version) Daniel Rosiak December 12, 2020 arXiv:2012.08669v1 [math.CT] 15 Dec 2020 2 Preface After circulating an earlier version of this work among colleagues back in 2018, with the initial aim of providing a gentle and example-heavy introduction to sheaves aimed at a less specialized audience than is typical, I was encouraged by the feedback of readers, many of whom found the manuscript (or portions thereof) helpful; this encouragement led me to continue to make various additions and modifications over the years. The project is now under contract with the MIT Press, which would publish it as an open access book in 2021 or early 2022. In the meantime, a number of readers have encouraged me to make available at least a portion of the book through arXiv. The present version represents a little more than two-thirds of what the professionally edited and published book would contain: the fifth chapter and a concluding chapter are missing from this version. The fifth chapter is dedicated to toposes, a number of more involved applications of sheaves (including to the \n- queens problem" in chess, Schreier graphs for self-similar groups, cellular automata, and more), and discussion of constructions and examples from cohesive toposes. Feedback or comments on the present work can be directed to the author's personal email, and would of course be appreciated. 3 4 Contents Introduction 7 0.1 An Invitation . .7 0.2 A First Pass at the Idea of a Sheaf . 11 0.3 Outline of Contents . 20 1 Categorical Fundamentals for Sheaves 23 1.1 Categorical Preliminaries . -

Conclusion 88 References 89 Email: [email protected]. 1 1. Introduction Let X be a connected scheme. One of the basic arithmetic invariants that one can extract from X is the ´etale fundamental group π1(X; x) relative to a \basepoint" x ! X (where x is the spectrum of a separably closed field). The fundamental group was defined by Grothendieck [Gro03] in terms of the category of finite, ´etalecovers of X. It provides an analog of the usual fundamental group of a topological space (or rather, its profinite completion), and plays an important role in algebraic geometry and number theory, as a precursor to the theory of ´etalecohomology. From a categorical point of view, it unifies the classical Galois theory of fields and covering space theory via a single framework. In this paper, we will define an analog of the ´etalefundamental group, and construct a form of the Galois correspondence, in stable homotopy theory. For example, while the classical theory of [Gro03] enables one to define the fundamental (or Galois) group of a commutative ring, we will define the fundamental group of the homotopy-theoretic analog: an E1-ring spectrum.
