Leray Spectral Sequence


The Leray spectral sequence relates cohomology of sheaves on two ringed spaces. For a morphism f:X->Y of ringed spaces and a sheaf F of O_X-modules, it has

 E_2^(p,q)=H^p(Y,R^qf_*F) => H^(p+q)(X,F).

Here f_* is the direct-image functor, R^qf_* is its qth right derived functor, and p,q>=0. It is a Grothendieck spectral sequence for the composition of the direct-image functor and the global-sections functor. A version also applies to bounded below complexes of O_X-modules (The Stacks Project Authors 2026).
