Cocontinuous functors between sites. #
We define cocontinuous functors between sites as functors that pull covering sieves back to covering sieves. This concept is also known as cover-lifting or cover-reflecting functors. We use the original terminology and definition of SGA 4 III 2.1. However, the notion of cocontinuous functor should not be confused with the general definition of cocontinuous functors between categories as functors preserving small colimits.
Main definitions #

A functor G : (C, J) ⥤ (D, K)
between sites is called cocontinuous (SGA 4 III 2.1)
if for all covering sieves R
in D
, R.pullback G
is a covering sieve in C
.

Instances
The identity functor on a site is cocontinuous.
Equations
- ⋯ = ⋯
The composition of two cocontinuous functors is cocontinuous.
We will now prove that G.op.ran : (Cᵒᵖ ⥤ A) ⥤ (Dᵒᵖ ⥤ A)
maps sheaves
to sheaves when G : C ⥤ D
is a cocontinuous functor.
We do not follow the proofs in SGA 4 III 2.2 or https://stacks.math.columbia.edu/tag/00XK.
Instead, we verify as directly as possible that if F : Cᵒᵖ ⥤ A
is a sheaf,
then G.op.ran.obj F
is a sheaf. in order to do this, we use the "multifork"
characterization of sheaves which involves limits in the category A
.
As G.op.ran.obj F
is the chosen right Kan extension of F
along G.op : Cᵒᵖ ⥤ Dᵒᵖ
,
we actually verify that any pointwise right Kan extension of F
along G.op
is a sheaf.
