** If $f:A \to B$ is a morphism of sheaves, then we really have a morphism of presheaves $F(f): F(A) \to F(B)$, where $F$ denotes the forgetful functor. Since $F$ is right-adjoint to sheafification, it commutes with kernels, so we "should" have, $ker_{pre} F(f) = F(ker_{sheaf} f)$. Since $F$ is just the forgetful functor, it doesn't really do anything. So taking the kernel in presheaves "should" actually be a kernel in sheaves. So (sh, F) being adjoint explains why we don't need to sheafify with kernels. | |||

Discussion Leader: Amanda
Schedule
- For 9/22: Be prepared to discuss 3.4
- Hand in 6 written up problems
- For 9/24: Read & be prepared to discuss 3.5
- For 9/27: Read & be prepared to discuss 3.5, 3.6, 3.7.
- Meeting with faculty: Bring questions from all of Chapter 3.
Homework
- 6 problems due 9/22
Questions
- Why does sheafification being left-adjoint to the forgetful functor "explain" why you don't need to sheafify when taking kernel, and why you need to sheafify when taking cokernel (see 3.4.K)?
- If $f:A \to B$ is a morphism of sheaves, then we really have a morphism of presheaves $F(f): F(A) \to F(B)$, where $F$ denotes the forgetful functor. Since $F$ is right-adjoint to sheafification, it commutes with kernels, so we "should" have, $ker_{pre} F(f) = F(ker_{sheaf} f)$. Since $F$ is just the forgetful functor, it doesn't really do anything. So taking the kernel in presheaves "should" actually be a kernel in sheaves. So (sh, F) being adjoint explains why we don't need to sheafify with kernels.
