{{Images of sheaves}}
Let ''f'': ''X'' → ''Y'' be a [[continuous mapping]] of [[topological space]]s, and ''let Sh''(–) denote the [[category (mathematics)|category]] of sheaves of [[abelian group]]s on a topological space. The '''direct image with compact (or proper) support'''
 
:''f''<sub>!</sub>: ''Sh''(''X'') &rarr; ''Sh''(''Y'')
 
sends a sheaf ''F'' on ''X'' to ''f''<sub>!</sub>(''F'') defined by
 
:''f''<sub>!</sub>(''F'')(''U'') := {''s'' ∈ ''F''(''f''<sup>&nbsp;&minus;1</sup>(''U'')) :| f|<sub>|supp(''s'')</sub>: [[support (mathematics)|supp]](''s'')→U&nbsp;→&nbsp;''U'' is [[proper map|proper]]},
where ''U'' is an open subset of ''Y''. The functoriality of this construction follows from the very basic properties of the support and the definition of sheaves.
