Lemma 7.32.5. Let \mathcal{C} be a site. Let p = u : \mathcal{C} \to \textit{Sets} be a functor. Suppose that for every covering \{ U_ i \to U\} of \mathcal{C}

  1. the map \coprod u(U_ i) \to u(U) is surjective, and

  2. the maps u(U_ i \times _ U U_ j) \to u(U_ i) \times _{u(U)} u(U_ j) are surjective.

Then we have

  1. the presheaf u^ pE is a sheaf for all sets E, denote it u^ sE,

  2. the stalk functor \mathop{\mathit{Sh}}\nolimits (\mathcal{C}) \to \textit{Sets} and the functor u^ s: \textit{Sets} \to \mathop{\mathit{Sh}}\nolimits (\mathcal{C}) are adjoint, and

  3. we have \mathcal{F}_ p = \mathcal{F}^\# _ p for every presheaf of sets \mathcal{F}.

Proof. The first assertion is immediate from the definition of a sheaf, assumptions (1) and (2), and the definition of u^ pE. The second is a restatement of the adjointness of u^ p and the stalk functor (Lemma 7.32.4) restricted to sheaves. The third assertion follows as, for any set E, we have

\text{Map}(\mathcal{F}_ p, E) = \mathop{\mathrm{Mor}}\nolimits _{\textit{PSh}(\mathcal{C})}(\mathcal{F}, u^ pE) = \mathop{\mathrm{Mor}}\nolimits _{\mathop{\mathit{Sh}}\nolimits (\mathcal{C})}(\mathcal{F}^\# , u^ sE) = \text{Map}(\mathcal{F}^\# _ p, E)

by the adjointness property of sheafification. \square
