category of sheaves
- notation:
- objects: sheaves of sets on a topological space
- morphisms: morphisms of sheaves
- Related categories: , ,
- nLab Link
Here, we assume that the topological space is neither discrete nor indiscrete, since otherwise this category is just a product of copies of . Another valid notation is .

Special objects
- terminal object: constant sheaf with value a singleton
- initial object: constant sheaf with value , sending all non-empty open sets to and the empty set to a singleton
- products: section-wise defined direct product
- coproducts: associated sheaf to the section-wise disjoint union
Special morphisms
- isomorphisms: morphisms of sheaves that are bijective on every open set
- monomorphisms: morphisms of sheaves that are injective on every open subset
- epimorphisms: morphisms of sheaves that are "locally surjective": for every local section there is an open covering such that each is contained in the image of .
- 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, exact filtered colimits, etc.) are satisfied for a generic space , but we need to make this precise by adding additional requirements to . Maybe we need to create separate entries for specific spaces .
