Descent for sheaves on compact Hausdorff spaces

Algebraic Topology 2022-10-04 v1

Abstract

These notes explain some descent results for \infty-categories of sheaves on compact Hausdorff spaces and derive some consequences. Specifically, given a compactly assembled \infty-category E\mathcal{E}, we show that the functor sending a locally compact Hausdorff space XX to the \infty-category Shpost(X;E)\operatorname{Sh}^{\operatorname{post}}(X;\mathcal{E}) of Postnikov complete E\mathcal{E}-valued sheaves on X X satisfies descent for proper surjections. This implies proper descent for left complete derived \infty-categories and that the functor Shpost(;E)\operatorname{Sh}^{\operatorname{post}}(-;\mathcal{E}) is a sheaf on the category of compact Hausdorff spaces equipped with the topology of finite jointly surjective families. Using this, we explain how to embed Postnikov complete sheaves on a locally compact Hausdorff space into condensed objects. This implies that the condensed and sheaf cohomologies of a locally compact Hausdorff space agree.
