Pages in category sheaf theory the following 58 pages are in this category, out of 58 total. Sheaf theory was introduced into complex analysis very soon after it was invented by leray unfortunately, i dont really know about lerays own motivations and intentions for the theory, by cartan, but in the context of several complex variables, not just one. Sheaf theory provides a means of discussing many different kinds of geometric objects in respect of the connection between their local and global properties.
