Sheaf cohomology under a closed inclusion

ID: sheaf-cohomology-under-a-closed-inclusion

For a closed inclusion , direct image sheaf formation is exact: stalks on are unchanged and stalks outside are zero. It also preserves flasque sheaves. Pushing forward a flasque resolution thus gives a resolution computing cohomology on , and its complex of global sections is identical to the original one on . This proves the displayed isomorphism in every nonnegative degree.
