\begin{Lemma} \label{lem:subdiag-colim}
Let $A\colon I \to \cC$ be a diagram in a category $\cC$,
and let $B\colon J \to \cC$ be another diagram factoring through $A$.
\[
\begin{tikzcd}
I \ar[r, "A"] & \cC \\
J \ar[u, "\alpha"] \ar[ru, "B"']
\end{tikzcd}
\]
Then the factoring $\alpha$ induces a map on the colimits, if they exist.
\[
\colim_{j \in J} B(j) \longrightarrow \colim_{i \in I} A(i)
\]
\end{Lemma}
\begin{proof}
Consider any co-cone $Z \in C$ over $A$ in $\cC$.
We can write such a co-cone as a natural transformation
$\eta$ from $A$ to the composition $I \to * \to \cC$,
where $*$ is the discrete single object category,
$* \to \cC$ selects the object $Z$,
and $I \to *$ of course takes all objects to the single object.
\[
\begin{tikzcd}
* \ar[rd, "Z"] \\
I \ar[u] \ar[r, "A"'] & \cC
\end{tikzcd}
\]
Note that the components of such a transformation are $\func{\eta_i}{A(i)}{Z}$,
satisfying, for each $i \to j$ in $I$,
\[
\begin{tikzcd}
A(i) \ar[r, "\eta_i"] \ar[d] & Z \ar[d, equals] \\
A(j) \ar[r, "\eta_j"] & Z
\end{tikzcd}
\]
This is precisely the definition of a co-cone.
However, we can then take the composition $\nu = \eta * id_{\alpha}$,
which naturally describes $Z$ as a co-cone over $B$.
\[
\begin{tikzcd}
& * \ar[rd, "Z"] \\
J \ar[r, "\alpha"'] \ar[ru] & I \ar[u] \ar[r, "A"'] & \cC
\end{tikzcd}
\]
Thus, if $Z$ is any co-cone over $A$,
and the colimit over $B$ exists,
then there is a unique map from said colimit to $Z$ by universality.
Taking $Z$ to be the co-cone over $A$ proves the lemma.
\end{proof}
\begin{Lemma} \label{lem:colim-composition}
Let $A, B: I \to \cC$ be two diagrams in a category $\cC$,
and let $\eta \colon A \implies B$ be a natural transformation between them.
Then $\eta$ induces a map on the colimits, if they exist.
\[
\colim_{i \in I} B(i) \longrightarrow \colim_{i \in I} A(i)
\]
\end{Lemma}
\begin{proof}
Let $Z$ be any co-cone over the diagram $B$,
written as a natural transformation as in the previous lemma.
\[
\begin{tikzcd}[row sep=large]
& * \ar[rd, "Z"] \\
I \ar[ru]
\ar[rr, bend left, "A"{anchor=center, fill=white, name=A}]
\ar[rr, bend right, "B"'{name=B}]
\ar[from=B.north-|A, shorten=4pt, to=A, Rightarrow, "\eta"]
\ar[from=A, ur, Rightarrow, shorten=2pt, "\varepsilon"]
& & C\\
\end{tikzcd}
\]
The composition $\varepsilon \circ \eta$ then describes $Z$
as a co-cone over the diagram $B$.
If we choose $Z$ to be the colimit over $A$,
and assume the colimit of $B$ also exists,
then we get the map desired by the lemma.
\end{proof}

then the pushforward of $\cF$ over any continuous map $X \to Y$
is also a sheaf on $Y$, as desired.
% Question 2.2.I
\question
Let $\func{\pi}{X}{Y}$ be a continuous map of spaces,
and $\cF$ be a sheaf on $X$.
if $\pi(p) = q$ for some $p \in X$,
describe the natural morphism $(\pi_*\cF)_q \to \cF_p$.
\answer
We first define the map explicitly.
Take some germ $[f]_q$ in $(\pi_*\cF)_q$,
with $f \in (\pi_*\cF)(V)$ a section over some open $V \ni q$.
Then by the definition of the sections in the pushforward sheaf,
$f \in (\pi_*\cF)(V) = \cF(\pi^{-1}(V))$,
thus $f$ is also an element of the set of sections of $\cF$ over the open nbd
$\pi^{-1}(V)$ of $p$. Thus, we can define
$[f]_p \in \cF_p$, the germ of $f$ over $p$.
The induced map on stalks may then be expressed simply as $[f]_q \mapsto [f]_p$.
Alternatively, we can induce the map using the universal property of the stalks.
\[
\begin{tikzcd}
\cTop_{Y}^{op}|_{q} \ar[r, "\pi^{-1}_q"] \ar[d] & \cTop_{X}^{op}|_{p} \ar[d] \\
\cTop_{Y}^{op} \ar[r, "\pi^{-1}"] & \cTop_{X}^{op} \ar[r, "\cF"] & \Set
\end{tikzcd}
\]
Here $\cTop_Y^{op}|_q$ denotes the full subcategory of $\cTop_Y^{op}$
consisting of open sets containing $q$, and analagously for $\cTop_X^{op}|_p$.
The stalk $\cF_p$ is then the colimit over the diagram
$\cTop^{op}_X|_p \to \cTop^{op}_X \to \Set$,
and the stalk $(\pi_*\cF)_q$ is the colimit over the diagram
$\cTop_Y^{op}|_q \to \cTop_Y^{op} \to \cTop_X^{op} \to \Set$.
Lemma \ref{lem:subdiag-colim} then induces the desired map by universal property of colimit.
% Question 2.2.J
\question
If $(X, \cO_X)$ is a ringed space,
and $\cF$ is an $\cO_X$-module, describe how for each $p \in X$,
$\cF_p$ is an $\cO_{X, p}$-module.
\answer
We shall describe the action explicitly.
Let $p \in X$, and consider $\cF_p$.
We already know this retains the structure of an abelian group,
since the category of abelian groups has colimits.
To define the action of $\cO_{X, p}$,
let $[f]_p \in \cO_{X, p}$ and $[a]_p \in \cF_p$
where $f$ and $a$ are sections of their respective sheaves
over some shared neighbourhood $U \ni p$ (restricting if necessary).
Then define $[f]_p \cdot [a]_p$ to be $[f\cdot a]_p$
using the action of $\cO_X(U)$ on $\cF(U)$.
To see that this is well defined, let $[f]_p = [f']_p$ and $[a]_p = [a']_p$
where $f', a'$ are defined over another neighbourhood $V$ of $p$.
Since they determine the same germ, there are some $W_1, W_2$ around $p$
where $f|_{W_1} = f'|_{W_2}$ and $a|_{W_1} = a'_{W_2}$.
Defining $W = W_1 \cap W_2$, we can finally put everything into the same neighbourhood,
so that $f|_W = f'|_W$ and $a|_W = a'|_W$.
Then the compatibility condition for the $\cO_X$-module $\cF$ says that
$(f \cdot a)|_W = f|_W \cdot a|_W = f'_W \cdot a'|_W = (f' \cdot a')|_W$.
Thus $[f \cdot a]_p = [f'\cdot a']_p$, and this definition of action on stalks
is well defined.
Finally, note that all the axioms of module action may be determined with
a finite number of elements, and we may thus check them
by taking representatives on some shared neighbourhood of $p$,
where the axioms hold by the definition of an $\cO_X$-module.
% Question 2.3.A
\question
Let $\phi\colon \cF \to \cG$ be a morphism of pre-sheaves on $X$,
and let $p \in X$.
Then describe the induced morphism of stalks $\phi_p\colon \cF_p \to \cG_p$.
This defines the \emph{stalkification functor at $p$}
$\Sets_X \to \Sets$, where $\Sets_X$ is the category of
sheaves of sets over $X$.
\answer
This follows immediately from Lemma \ref{lem:colim-composition},
since $\phi$ induces a natural transformation between the stalk diagrams
for $\cF_p$ and $\cG_p$.
% Question 2.3.B
\question
Let $\pi\colon X \to Y$ be a continuous map of topological spaces.
Show that the pushforward induces a functor
$\pi_*\colon \Sets_X \to \Sets_Y$.
\answer
Recall that $\pi_*\cF$ is pre-composition with $\pi^{-1}_{op}$.
Then we can describe the desired functor as
\[
\begin{tikzcd}
\cF \ar[d, Rightarrow, "\eta"] \ar[r, mapsto] &
\pi_*\cF = \cF \circ \pi^{-1}_{op} \ar[d, Rightarrow, "\eta \circ id_{\pi^{-1}_{op}}"] \\
\cG \ar[r, mapsto] & \pi_*\cG = \cG \circ \pi^{-1}_{op}
\end{tikzcd}
\]
That is, on objects it acts as pre-composition by $\pi^{-1}_{op}$,
and on morphisms it acts as pre-composition by (the natural transformation) $id_{\pi^{-1}_{op}}$
% Question 2.3.C
\question
Let $\cF$ and $\cG$ be two sheaves over $X$.
Define a pre-sheaf of sets $\cHom(\cF, \cG)$
by lettings the set of sections over each open $U$ be
\[
\cHom(\cF, \cG)(U) \ceq \Mor(\cF|_U, \cG|_U).
\]
Show that this is a sheaf of set on $X$.
\answer
We first observe that for any $U$ open in $X$,
the sections of $\cHom(\cF, \cG)$ over $U$ are defined to be the set
of natural transformations $\eta$ in the diagram below.
The restriction of a section $\eta$ to some open $V \subseteq U$
is then a composition of $\eta$ with the (identity transformation on the) inclusion
of $\cTop_V^{op} \to \cTop_U^{op}$
\[
\begin{tikzcd}
& & \cTop_X^{op} \ar[rd, "\cF"] & \\
\cTop_V^{op} \ar[r] & \cTop_U^{op} \ar[ru] \ar[rd] & & \Set \\
& & \cTop_X^{op} \ar[ru, "\cG"'] \ar[uu, Rightarrow, shorten=5pt, "\eta"] &
\end{tikzcd}
\]
Pre-composition is functorial,
and so $\cHom(\cF, \cG)$ does form a presheaf of sets.
Next, we need to show that it is also a sheaf.
We first consider identity, in the usual way.
Let $U$ be open in $X$, and take an open cover $U = \bigcup_{i \in I} U_i$.
Let $\eta, \varepsilon\colon \cF|_U \Rightarrow \cG_U$,
such that $\eta|_{U_i} = \varepsilon|_{U_i}$ for all $i \in I$.
We claim that $\eta = \varepsilon$.
To see this, take any open $V \subseteq U$,
and define the cover $V_i = V \cap U_i$ of $V$. Then:
\[
\eta_{V_i} = (\eta|_{U_i})_{V_i} = (\varepsilon|_{U_i})_{V_i} = \varepsilon_{V_i}.
\]
We have the following diagram.
\[
\begin{tikzcd}
\cF|_U(V) \ar[r, "\eta_V"] \ar[d] & \cG|_U(V) \ar[d] \\
\cF|_U(V_i) \ar[r, "\eta_{V_i}", "\varepsilon_{V_i}"'] & \cG|_U(V_i) \\
\cF|_U(V) \ar[u] \ar[r, "\varepsilon_{V}"] & \cG|_U(V) \ar[u]
\end{tikzcd}
\]
Here the vertical maps are restriction maps, and both squares commute.
Chasing any section $f \in \cF|_U(V)$, we see that
\[
(\eta_V(f))|_{V_i} = \eta_{V_i}(f|_{V_i}) = \varepsilon_{V_i}(f|_{V_i}) = (\varepsilon_V(f))|_{V_i}.
\]
Since $V_i$ forms a cover of $V$, identity in the sheaf $\cG$ then tells us $\eta_V = \varepsilon_V$.
Since $V$ was arbitrary, this means that $\eta = \varepsilon$ as desired.
Finally, we demonstrate gluing.
Let $U_i$ form a cover of $U$ as above,
and let $\eta^i\colon \cF|_{U_i} \Rightarrow \cG|_{U_i}$ in $\cHom(\cF, \cG)(U_i)$,
such that they agree when restricted to intersections, that is,
\[
\forall W \subseteq U_i \cap U_j, \qquad
\eta^i_W = \big(\eta^i|_{U_i \cap U_j}\big)_W = \big(\eta^j|_{U_i \cap U_j}\big)_W
= \eta^j_W.
\]
Take any $V$ open in $U$, and as before define the cover $V_i = V \cap U_i$ of $V$.
We define a gluing $\eta\colon \cF|_U \Rightarrow \cG|_U$
by defining it on the arbitrary component $V$.
\[
\begin{tikzcd}
\cF(V) \ar[r, dashed, "\eta_V"] \ar[d] & \cG(V) \ar[d] \\
\cF(V_i) \ar[r, "\eta^i_{V_i}"] \ar[d] & \cG(V_i) \ar[d] \\
\cF(V_i \cap V_j) \ar[r, "\eta^i_{V_i \cap V_j}", "\eta^j_{V_i \cap V_j}"'] & \cG(V_i \cap V_j)
\end{tikzcd}
\]
Taking any section $f \in \cF(V) = \cF|_{U}(V)$,
define $g_i = \eta^i_{V_i}(f|_{V_i}) \in \cG(V_i)$.
Then
\[
g_i|_{V_i \cap V_j} =
\eta^i_{V_i}(f|_{V_i}) |_{V_i \cap V_j}
= \eta^i_{V_i \cap V_j}(f|_{V_i \cap V_j})
= \eta^j_{V_i \cap V_j}(f|_{V_i \cap V_j})
= \eta^j_{V_j}(f|_{V_j}) | _{V_i \cap V_j}
= g_j |_{V_i \cap V_j}.
\]
Thus $\{g_i\}_{i\in I}$ is a family of sections of $\cG$ over $V_i$
which agree upon restriction to intersections.
Since $\cG$ was assumed a sheaf, it satisfies gluing,
and there is thus some $g \in \cG(V)$ such that $g|_{V_i} = g_i$.
We define $\eta_V(f) = g$.
Thus, $\cHom(\cF, \cG)$ is a presheaf satisfying both identity and gluing, and is thus a sheaf,
as desired.
