Inverse image - direct image adjunction

127 Views Asked by At

I've been struggling to prove the adjunction between the inverse image and direct image functors for sheaves, and am looking to find either a reference/book that explains it, suggestions for an alternate proof strategy, or a sketch of a proof.

Using the fact that sheafification is left adjoint to the inclusion functor from pre-sheaves to sheaves, it suffices to show that the inverse image functor for presheaves is left adjoint to the direct image functor for presheaves. So for $f:X\to Y$ let $f^{-1}:\mathrm{Psh(Y)}\to \mathrm{Psh}(X)$ be given by $f^{-1}(\mathcal{F})(U)=\mathrm{colim}_{V\supseteq f(U)}\mathcal{G}(V)$ and let $f_*:\mathrm{Psh(X)}\to \mathrm{Psh}(Y)$ given by $f_*(\mathcal{F})(U)=\mathcal{F}(f^{-1}(U))$ be the standard direct image functor. We can construct a unit $\eta:1\Rightarrow f_*f^{-1}$ and a counit $\epsilon:f^{-1}f_*\to 1$ for the hypothetical adjunction $f^{-1}\vdash f_*$ so that $$\eta_{\mathcal{G}}(U):\mathcal{G}(U)\to \mathrm{colim}_{V\supseteq f(f^{-1}(U))}\mathcal{G}(V)=f_*f^{-1}\mathcal{G}(U)$$ and $$\epsilon_{\mathcal{F}}(U):f^{-1}f_*\mathcal{F}(U)=\mathrm{colim}_{V\supseteq f(U)}\mathcal{F}(f^{-1}(V)) \to \mathcal{F}(U) $$ are the maps one might expect. I've trying to prove the adjunction by proving the triangle identities $\epsilon f^{-1}\circ f^{-1}\eta=1$ and $f_*\epsilon\circ \eta f_*=1.$ I think I more or less understand the argument for this step, but unfortunately it seems quite nasty and difficult to get a good handle on.

Can anyone point me to a good reference that writes this out in detail? Another proof strategy I considered is explicity showing that the map $\mathrm{Hom}(f^{-1}\mathcal{G},\mathcal{F})\to \mathrm{Hom}(\mathcal{G},f_*\mathcal{F})$ given by $\phi\mapsto f_*\phi\circ \eta_G$ is both a surjection and an injection, or something like that. Would that be easier? Is there another way to do it? Perhaps we could first construct a left adjoint to $f_*$ and then show later that it takes the appropriate form? I appreciate any help, thanks.
