Freyd's theorem : a category admitting too large coproducts is a poset.
Regular cardinals, \kappa-filtered and \kappa-compact objects.
Generators for a category, presentable categories, different characterizations.

Lecture 3 : Grothendieck abelian categories
Reflective subcategories. Examples. Theorem : if D is reflective in C and C is (co)complete, then the same goes for D. If C is abelian and the left adjoint C -> D to the inclusion commutes with finite limits, then D is abelian.
Grothendieck's axioms AB3, AB4, AB5 and the notion of Grothendieck abelian category.
Theorem: if A is a Grothendieck abelian category, then for every topological space X, Sh(X;A) is a Grothendieck abelian category as well.
Definition of pushforward and pullback for sheaves.

Characterization of the inverse image for sheaves.
Gabriel-Popescu embedding theorem for Grothendieck abelian categories.
Definitions: having enough injectives and having enough projectives.
An object in a Grothendieck abelian category is injective if and only if it has the lifting property against subobjects of the generator.
Theorem: a Grothendieck abelian category always has enough injectives.

Lecture 5 : Derived functors
The notion of cohomological and homological \delta-functor. Examples (Tor and Exts). Universality. Uniqueness of universal \delta-functors.
Let A be an abelian category with enough injectives. Then an object I is injective if and only if every short exact sequence 0 -> I -> M -> N -> 0 splits after application of any additive functor.
Let A be an abelian category with enough injectives and let F : A -> B be a left exact functor. Construction of the right derived \delta-functor {R^i F, \delta^i}.
Theorem : right derived \delta-functors are universal.
Notion of acyclic object. Example (flat objects for - \otimes_A M).
Theorem : acyclic resolutions can be used to compute derived \delta-functors.

Lecture 6 : Sheaf cohomology I
Characterization of constant sheaves
Definition of sheaf cohomology
Sheaf cohomology of a point
Notion of flasque sheaf
Theorem : every injective sheaf is flasque, and flasque sheaves are acyclic.

Concerning flasque sheaves : see Stacks Project, Tag 09SV
Warning. Notice however that I didn't follow any of the above references, and that the order the material is treated can change dramatically from one presentation to the other. For instance, Schapira's notes treat first derived categories, and then sheaf cohomology, while in this course I decided to do the opposite. This means that he is allowed to use some machinery that we still didn't develop at this point of the course. Nevertheless, they are excellent notes, and I encourage all of you to go through them.
