“Getting back to basics (of sheaves)”
This week, we’ll try to wrap up our discussion of sheaves. We’ll give a sketch of why the category of sheaves of abelian groups forms an abelian category, and give a method of describing sheaves via a topological base. If time permits, we may even discuss the long awaited notion of a scheme.
