Let be a sheaf on a topological space and a resolution of by acyclic sheaves. Then
where denotes the -th sheaf cohomology group of with coefficients in
The De Rham–Weil theorem follows from the more general fact that derived functors may be computed using acyclic resolutions instead of simply injective resolutions.
