On most textbooks, the definition of Leray cover is: Let $displaystyle mathfrak U=U_i$ be an open cover of the topological space $X$, and $mathcal F$ a sheaf on $X$. We say that $mathfrak U$ is a Leray cover with respect to $mathcal F$ if, for every nonempty finite set $displaystyle i_1,ldots ,i_n$ of indices, and for all $k>0$, we have that $displaystyle H^k(U_i_1cap cdots cap U_i_n,mathcal F)=0$, in the derived functor cohomology.



But on Postnikov's Geometry VI: Riemannian Geometry, the definition of Leray cover is exactly the same definition of good cover.



I wonder the definition of good cover implies the usual definition of Leray cover.



Moreover, I wonder when a sheaf cohomology is homotopy invariant? And suppose $X$ is contractible, then if $displaystyle H^k(X,mathcal F)=0$ for $kge1$?

          Sheaf cohomology is not homotopy invariant, in particular there are sheaf whith non trivial $H^1$ on $[0,1]$. See here for a concrete example.



          However, if $F$ is locally constant, i.e $underline A_X$ for $A$ a ring then its cohomology is homotopy invariant since it coincide with the usual singular cohomology with coefficients in $A$ (you might need some hypothesis on $X$, like locally contractible).
