Properties
- The direct image functor is right adjoint to the inverse image functor, which means that for any continuous and sheaves respectively on X, Y, there is a natural isomorphism:
- .
- If f is the inclusion of a closed subspace X ⊂ Y then f∗ is exact. Actually, in this case f∗ is an equivalence between sheaves on X and sheaves on Y supported on X.

Famous quotes containing the word properties:
“A drop of water has the properties of the sea, but cannot exhibit a storm. There is beauty of a concert, as well as of a flute; strength of a host, as well as of a hero.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
