Jul 25, 2020 at 7:55 comment added Georges Elencwajg Dear@Andrea, this is wonderful news! When I wrote about my hope, I actually thought that its realization was not very probable: I'm happy you are showing me that I was unduly pessimistic! I am delighted that you are writing a follow-up to the book I downloaded a few months ago from the AMS site, and which I much appreciated. Thanks a lot for that great document and my best wishes for the future one.
Jul 24, 2020 at 13:48 comment added Andrea Ferretti @GeorgesElencwajg It will. :-) I am writing a sequel to ams.org/open-math-notes/omn-view-listing?listingId=110823 that will be about homological methods in commutative algebra. The first half or so is about homological algebra per se, and there sheaves appear as a fundamental recurring example. I am putting Alexander's counterexample as a guided exercise.

Jul 19, 2020 at 18:08 comment added Georges Elencwajg Thank you, Alexander: this is a perfect counterexample. I hope it will find its place in some basic book using sheaves, or maybe become an item in the Stacks Project.
Jul 19, 2020 at 14:24 comment added Chris @ChrisGerig Flabbyness is preserved for arbitrary direct products and a finite sum of abelian sheaves is the same as their finite product.
Jul 19, 2020 at 14:05 comment added Chris Gerig What about finite direct sums? (Or is that a basic sheaf theory fact?)
