The constant sheaf

We define the constant sheaf functor (the sheafification of the constant presheaf) constantSheaf : D ⥤ Sheaf J D and prove that it is left adjoint to evaluation at a terminal object (see constantSheafAdj).

We also define a predicate on sheaves, Sheaf.IsConstant, saying that a sheaf is in the essential image of the constant sheaf functor.

Main results

• Sheaf.isConstant_iff_isIso_counit_app: Provided that the constant sheaf functor is fully faithful, a sheaf is constant if and only if the counit of the constant sheaf adjunction applied to it is an isomorphism.

• Sheaf.isConstant_iff_of_equivalence : The property of a sheaf of being constant is invariant under equivalence of sheaf categories.

• Sheaf.isConstant_iff_forget : Given a "forgetful" functor U : D ⥤ B a sheaf F : Sheaf J D is constant if and only if the sheaf given by postcomposition with U is constant.
