We consider the set of affine alcoves associated with a root system R as a topological space and consider a certain category S of sheaves of Z-modules on this space. Here Z is the structure algebra of the root system over a field k. To any…

We study concrete sheaf models for a call-by-value higher-order language with recursion. Our family of sheaf models is a generalization of many examples from the literature, such as models for probabilistic and differentiable programming,…

We introduce and develop the theory of metric sheaves. A metric sheaf $\A$ is defined on a topological space $X$ such that each fiber is a metric model. We describe the construction of the generic model as the quotient space of the sheaf…

We introduce a sheaf-theoretic characterization of task solvability in general distributed computing models, unifying distinct approaches to message-passing models. We establish cellular sheaves as a natural mathematical framework for…

We study the homotopy theory of locally ordered spaces, that is manifolds with boundary whose charts are partially ordered in a compatible way. Their category is not particularly well-behaved with respect to colimits. However, this category…

Sheaves and sheaf cohomology are powerful tools in computational topology, greatly generalizing persistent homology. We develop an algorithm for simplifying the computation of cellular sheaf cohomology via (discrete) Morse-theoretic…

An order-theoretic forest is a countable partial order such that the set of elements larger than any element is linearly ordered. It is an order-theoretic tree if any two elements have an upper-bound. The order type of a branch can be any…

An \'etale structure over a topological space $X$ is a continuous family of structures (in some first-order language) indexed over $X$. We give an exposition of this fundamental concept from sheaf theory and its relevance to countable model…

One of the main prerequisites for understanding sheaves on elementary toposes is the proof that a (Lawvere-Tierney) topology on a topos induces a closure operator on it, and vice-versa. That standard theorem is usually presented in a…

In this paper, we introduce a new definition of sheaves on semicartesian quantales, providing first examples and categorical properties. We note that our sheaves are similar to the standard definition of a sheaf on a locale, however, we…

When are two algorithms the same? How can we be sure a recently proposed algorithm is novel, and not a minor variation on an existing method? In this paper, we present a framework for reasoning about equivalence between a broad class of…

This book provides an inviting tour through sheaf theory, from the perspective of applied category theory and pitched at a less specialized audience than is typical with introductions to sheaves. The book makes it as easy as possible for…

We present a uniform theory of constructible sheaves on arbitrary schemes with coefficients in topological or even condensed rings. This is accomplished by defining lisse sheaves to be the dualizable objects in the derived infinity-category…

Building on Olander's work on algebraic spaces, we prove Orlov's representability theorem relating fully faithful functors and Fourier--Mukai transforms between the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves to the case of smooth, proper,…

Sheaf cohomology or, more generally, higher direct images of coherent sheaves along proper morphisms are central to modern algebraic geometry. However, the computation of these objects is a non-trivial and expensive task which easily…

This is the third installment in a series of papers on algebraic set theory. In it, we develop a uniform approach to sheaf models of constructive set theories based on ideas from categorical logic. The key notion is that of a "predicative…

If a Quillen model category can be specified using a certain logical syntax (intuitively, ``is algebraic/combinatorial enough''), so that it can be defined in any category of sheaves, then the satisfaction of Quillen's axioms over any site…

In this paper, we investigate the order algebraic structure in the category of sheaves on a given locale $X$. Since every localic topos has a generating set formed by its subterminal objects, we define a "point" of a partially ordered sheaf…
