Mar 26, 2019 at 20:10 comment added user74900 @ReidBarton let $a(X)$ be the cardinality of the underlying topological space of a scheme $X$ and let $b(X)$ be the cardinality of the disjoint union of the stalks of the structure sheaf of $X$ at all points. The construction in the linked answer satisfies $|F(X)|=a(X)+2^{b(X)}$. Is it possible to find a faithful functor $G$ such that say $|G(X)|\leq a(X)+b(X)$?
Mar 26, 2019 at 17:07 comment added Tim Campion There's some related work by Trnkova, Pultr, and others -- keyword "universal categories". According to the introduction of Universal concrete categories and functors, every concrete category fully embeds into the category of topological spaces and open maps; this is apparently shown in Combinatorial, algebraic and topological representations of groups, semigroups and categories.
Mar 26, 2019 at 16:59 comment added Reid Barton The category of schemes has a faithful functor to the category of sets (see mathoverflow.net/a/160768) and therefore also a faithful functor to topological spaces.
