Jun 23, 2021 at 19:35 comment added Mendieta We could assume furthermore that $f$ is hyperconnected. Then the Heyting algebra of subobjects of ${f^* \mathbb{N}}$ would be Boolean.
Jun 23, 2021 at 19:31 comment added მამუკა ჯიბლაძე @Mendieta oops sorry again. Must be more careful.
Jun 23, 2021 at 19:30 comment added Mendieta @მამუკაჯიბლაძე, the subobject $u$ is complemented by hypothesis.
Jun 23, 2021 at 19:21 comment added მამუკა ჯიბლაძე @Mendieta Sorry you are right. What I said does not matter. What matters is that one can modify the answer to include any non-Boolean topos $E$ that admits a geometric morphism to a Boolean topos $S$. Take $u$ any non-complemented subobject of some object $x$ in $E$, and the rest as in the answer: take $s$ the terminal object of $S$ and $\pi$ the identity morphism of $x$.
Jun 23, 2021 at 17:29 comment added Mendieta @მამუკაჯიბლაძე What you say is true, but the question still makes sense because E need not be Boolean.
Jun 23, 2021 at 6:46 comment added მამუკა ჯიბლაძე @Mendieta If $S$ is Boolean (which is weaker than having AC), every subobject of every object is complemented.
Jun 22, 2021 at 23:43 comment added Mendieta Thanks very much for your reply, @Andreas Blass. I'd be happy to mark my question as answered; but I think it would be more interesting to edit it. What if we assume that $S$ is Boolean or satisfies Choice? (Shouldn't $\pi$ behave as a codiagonal?)
