Definition

Denote by Emb nEmb_n the site of nn-dimensional smooth manifolds and open embeddings.

An (∞,1)-sheaf F:Emb n opTopF\colon Emb_n^op\to Top of topological spaces is microflexible if for any closed inclusion KKK\to K' of compact spaces, the induced map F(K)F(K)F(K')\to F(K) is a Serre microfibration.

An (∞,1)-sheaf F:Emb n opTopF\colon Emb_n^op\to Top of topological spaces is flexible if for any closed inclusion KKK\to K' of compact spaces, the induced map F(K)F(K)F(K')\to F(K) is a Serre fibration.

Gromov’s theorem

Given an open manifold MM, the inclusion of microflexible sheaves into flexible sheaves on the slice site site Emb n/MEmb_n/M is an equivalence of (∞,1)-categories.
