Grothendieck's six operations are a framework in algebraic geometry and derived categories that consists of six functors: direct image, inverse image, proper direct image, proper inverse image, exceptional functor, and dualizing functor. These operations are fundamental for understanding how sheaves and cohomology behave under various geometric transformations, providing a powerful tool for studying the relationships between different spaces and their properties.
