摘要：Our remarks here are designed to provide members of the Conference, and others, with brief introduction
to the sheaves on manifolds, differential complexes, sheaves complexes and categories
with its application to topological field theories and D-branes. We shall limit our discussion, in
particular, to Chern-Simons and BF theories and some examples of A-brane and B-brane models.
This introduction should prepare readers for quite more ambitious discussions found in recent
literature. The role of cohomological methods in physical theories will continue to grow as it has
grown in past years. In particular it will be an indispensable tool for topological theories of gauge,
strings and branes.
