comment Hartogs Theorem and Canonical Bundles
Hartogs' theorem is always misattributed: the one in the OP is Riemann's extension theorem (extension through analytic subsets of codimension $\geq 2$). Hartogs' is about extending through compact subsets.

@Wlodzimierz Holsztynski: is the historical reconstruction you hint at based on some objective documents, or is it just a conjecture?

comment Why is Set, and not Rel, so ubiquitous in mathematics?
@mbsq: (continued) Codomain is very important in the everyday treatement of functions, otherwise you wouldn't be able to conveniently express "surjectivity": we want to be able to neatly express -say- that an operator between Hilbert spaces has dense range (note that the range may not be a complete inner product space) but is not surjective.

comment Why is Set, and not Rel, so ubiquitous in mathematics?
@mbsq: I think the identification of functions with their graphs, which is prevalent in Logic I presume for practical reasons (you just say $f\subseteq g$ to express that "$g$ is an extension of $f$"), doesn't reflect the mathematical practice, in which a function is actually a triple $(f,\mathrm{dom}(f),\mathrm{cod}(f))$.

comment Infinite dimensional algebraic geometry
If I remember correctly, in the book "Infinite Grassmannians and moduli spaces of G-bundles" by S.Kumar there's a chapter or at least a paragraph on Ind-varieties.

comment Alternate definition of vector bundle?
@Martin: a morphism is a map $f: E\to F$ over $B$ such that for every $p\in B$, for every $\alpha$ of a covering that trivializes both bundles, the map $\phi_{\alpha}^F \circ f|_{E_p} \circ (\phi_{\alpha}^E)^{-1} : \mathbb{R}^k \to \mathbb{R}^k$, with the obvious notations, is linear. Are there problems with this definition?

comment Alternate definition of vector bundle?
For me the usual definition of vector bundle is: you have diffeomorphisms $\phi:\pi^{-1}(U_{\alpha}) \to U_{\alpha} \times \mathbb{R}^k$ over $U_{\alpha}$, where { $U_{\alpha}$ } is a covering of $B$, and the transition functions $\phi_{\beta} \circ \phi_{\alpha}^{-1} : U_{\alpha\beta} \times \mathbb{R}^k\to U_{\alpha\beta}\times\mathbb{R}^k$ over $U_{\alpha \beta}=U_{\alpha}\cap U_{\beta}$ are fiberwise linear maps.

comment Is a variety of algebras a set?
I don't understand the question. If $A$ is an algebra in the "variety" deined by $\mathfrak{F}$, then each $A \times \{ \alpha \}$ is in the same variety, for all $\alpha \in \mathsf{Ord}$.

comment Why is Set, and not Rel, so ubiquitous in mathematics?
@Ronnie Brown: maybe a modern way to conceptualize partial-function solutions of ODEs and PDEs is just sheaf theory. If the "sheaf of local solutions" of a differential operator is taken as a subsheaf of the sheaf of germs of continuous/smooth/analytic functions, it allows you to express that the solutions vary continuously/smoothy/analytically etc.

Another question could be: $\mathsf{Set}$ is to a general topos as $\mathsf{Rel}$ is to what structure?

comment Why is Set, and not Rel, so ubiquitous in mathematics?
@DanielMoskovich: Yoneda's lemma states that there's a fully faithful embedding of a category $\mathcal{C}$ into the category $\mathsf{Cat}(\mathcal{C}^{\mathrm{op}},\mathsf{Set})$. Perhaps a Yoneda's lemma for Rel Which is about the relationship between $\mathcal{C}$ and $\mathsf{Cat}(\mathcal{C}^{\mathrm{op}},\mathsf{Rel})$, or maybe something less naif. Also, simplicial sets are objects of $\mathsf{Set}^\Delta$; what about $\mathsf{Rel}^\Delta$?
