Suppose $f:Xlongrightarrow Y$ is a morphism of schemes. Take the categories $mathbfX_et,,mathbfY_et$ of étale morphisms over $X$ and $Y$. Then is the direct image functor:



$f_*:mathbfPSh(mathbfX_et)longrightarrowmathbfPSh(mathbfY_et)$



on category of presheaves exact? I know it's left-exact if restricted to the category of sheaves on étale site, but what does exactness mean in the category of presheaves on a site?

    Exactness means what it usually does, i.e. preservation of short exact sequences. A short exact sequence of presheaves is just a short exact sequence at every value.

  • Yes but in case of sheaves because the etale site is small, we have a good characterisation of epimorphism: ncatlab.org/nlab/show/category+of+sheaves#EpiMonoIsomorphisms

    Ah, but an epimorphism of presheaves is just a map which is an epimorphism at every level-exactly dual to a monomorphism.

  • Ah, thanks. But is the functor exact? It came up in the proof that $Rf_*G(U)$ is the sheaf associated to $H_et^q(U,G))$ and without exactness of $f_*$ the proof falls apart.

The answer to your question is yes.



Exactness for presheaves on a site means that for every object $U$ in the topology, applying the functor $Gamma(U,-|_U)$ is exact. The direct image of a presheaf $mathscr F$ is the presheaf $UmapstoGamma(U_X,-|_U_X)$, where $U_X=Utimes_Y X$. It's now tautological that direct image is an exact functor on presheaves.
