The stalk of a sheaf is a mathematical construction capturing the behaviour of a sheaf around a given point. (Wikipedia).
Who Gives a Sheaf? Part 1: A First Example
We take a first look at (pre-)sheaves, as being inspired from first year calculus.

Who Gives a Sheaf? Part 2: A non-example
In this video we compare two pre-sheaves, one which is a sheaf, and one which is not.

Schemes 42: Very ample sheaves
This lecture is part of an online algebraic geometry course on schemes, based on chapter II of "Algebraic geometry" by Hartshorne. We define ample and very ample invertible sheaves for projective varieties, and gives some examples for complex elliptic curves. We also show that some sect

Commutative algebra 43 (Stalkwise locally free modules)
This lecture is part of an online course on commutative algebra, following the book "Commutative algebra with a view toward algebraic geometry" by David Eisenbud. We discuss the rather technical concept of stalkwise locally free modules: those such that all localizations at primes are fre

Will Sawin - Bounding the stalks of perverse sheaves in characteristic p via the (...)
The sheaf-function dictionary shows that many natural functions on the F_q-points of a variety over F_q can be obtained from l-adic sheaves on that variety. To obtain upper bounds on these functions, it is necessary to obtain upper bounds on the dimension of the stalks of these sheaves. In

Schemes 5: Definition of a scheme
This lecture is part of an online algebraic geometry course on schemes, based on chapter II of "Algebraic geometry" by Hartshorne. We give some historical background, then give the definition of a scheme and some simple examples, and finish by explaining the origin of the word "spectrum".
