Exact pushforward along a closed embedding #
Pushforward of abelian sheaves along a closed embedding is exact. At a point of the image its stalk is the original stalk, and outside the closed image its stalk is zero. This is the exactness input for comparing sheaf cohomology with cohomology on a closed subspace, for example when embedding a projective scheme in projective space.

Direct image of abelian sheaves is additive.
The stalk of a pushed-forward abelian sheaf vanishes outside the closure of the image.
For an inducing map, the stalk of pushforward at an image point is naturally isomorphic to the original stalk.
