Definition:Associated Section of Étalé Space

Definition
Let $T = \struct {S, \tau}$ be a topological space.

Let $\mathcal F$ be a presheaf of sets.

Let $\map {\operatorname {\acute Et} } {\mathcal F}$ be its étalé space.

Let $U \subseteq S$ be open in $T$.

Let $s \in \map {\mathcal F} U$ be a section.

The associated section of $\map {\operatorname {\acute Et} } {\mathcal F}$ is the mapping:
 * $\overline s : U \to \map {\operatorname {\acute Et} } {\mathcal F} : x \mapsto \tuple {x, s_x}$

where $s_x$ is the image in the stalk at $x$.
