Part of the Lecture Notes in Physics book series (LNP, volume 726)
A basic structure in mathematics for the study of a space X is to give to each open set an object A(U) in a category \(\mathcal{c}\) together with restriction morphisms \(r_{V, U}:A(U)\to A(V)\) for \(V\subset U\) satisfying \(r_{U,U}\) is the identity and the composition property
$$r_{W,U}=r_{W,V}r_{V, U}\qquad {\rm for} \qquad W\subset V\subset U\,.$$
. Such a structure is called a presheaf with values in \(\mathcal{c}\).
