| - | A presheaf in topology assigns a set $FU$ to each open set $U$ of a topological space $\langle X,\mathcal T\rangle$. A [[sheaf]] is a presheaf fulfilling two axioms ('locality' and 'gluing') and it's intended to capture the case where $FU$ are sets of sections over a topological space (e.g. the section of a fibre bundle $p:E\to X$, e.g. vector fields) and the arrows $F(i)$ are restrictions of those section to smaller open sets. The definition of a seperated presheaf is the first step towards the definition of a sheaf. | + | A presheaf in topology assigns a set $FU$ to each open set $U$ of a topological space $\langle X,\mathcal T\rangle$.
