CatDat

category of abelian sheaves

Here, we assume that the topological space XX is neither discrete nor indiscrete, since otherwise this category is just a product of copies of Ab\mathbf{Ab}.

Unknown properties

There are 5 properties for which the database doesn't have an answer if they are satisfied or not. Please help to contribute the data!

Special objects

  • terminal object: trivial abelian sheaf
  • initial object: trivial abelian sheaf
  • products: section-wise defined direct product
  • coproducts: associated sheaf to the section-wise direct sum

Special morphisms

  • isomorphisms: morphisms of abelian sheaves that are bijective on every open set
  • monomorphisms: morphisms of abelian sheaves that are injective on every open subset
  • epimorphisms: morphisms of abelian sheaves f:FGf : F \to G that are "locally surjective": for every local section gG(U)g \in G(U) there is an open covering U=iIUiU = \bigcup_{i \in I} U_i such that each gUiG(Ui)g|_{U_i} \in G(U_i) is contained in the image of f(Ui):F(Ui)G(Ui)f(U_i) : F(U_i) \to G(U_i).
  • regular monomorphisms: same as monomorphisms
  • regular epimorphisms: same as epimorphisms

Comments

  • It is likely that neither of the currently remaining unknown properties (finitary algebraic, locally ℵ₁-presentable, split abelian, etc.) are satisfied for a generic space XX, but we need to make this precise by adding additional requirements to XX. Maybe we need to create separate entries for specific spaces XX.
