Topological methods of algebraic geometry | Homological algebra | Sheaf theory | Cohomology theories
In mathematics, sheaf cohomology is the application of homological algebra to analyze the global sections of a sheaf on a topological space. Broadly speaking, sheaf cohomology describes the obstructions to solving a geometric problem globally when it can be solved locally. The central work for the study of sheaf cohomology is Grothendieck's 1957 Tôhoku paper. Sheaves, sheaf cohomology, and spectral sequences were introduced by Jean Leray at the prisoner-of-war camp Oflag XVII-A in Austria. From 1940 to 1945, Leray and other prisoners organized a "université en captivité" in the camp. Leray's definitions were simplified and clarified in the 1950s. It became clear that sheaf cohomology was not only a new approach to cohomology in algebraic topology, but also a powerful method in complex analytic geometry and algebraic geometry. These subjects often involve constructing global functions with specified local properties, and sheaf cohomology is ideally suited to such problems. Many earlier results such as the Riemann–Roch theorem and the Hodge theorem have been generalized or understood better using sheaf cohomology. (Wikipedia).

Stéphane Guillermou - Microlocal sheaf theory and symplectic geometry
Abstract: The microlocal theory of sheaves has been introduced and developed by Kashiwara and Schapira in the 80’s, with motivations coming from the theory of D-modules. It has been applied some years ago to the study of symplectic geometry of cotangent bundles in papers of Nadler-Zaslow

Abstract : The intersection cohomology of a complex projective variety X agrees with the usual cohomology if X is smooth and satisfies Poincare duality even if X is singular. It has been proven in various contexts (and conjectured in more) that the intersection cohomology may be represente
