Nov 26, 2022 at 9:41 comment added მამუკა ჯიბლაძე Booleanness implies AC for localic toposes (if your set theory has it, that is), but not for non-localic Grothendieck toposes. Do such examples count?

Jun 10, 2022 at 14:23 comment added Zhen Lin Yes, infinite disjunctions, and infinitely many axioms.
Jun 10, 2022 at 12:28 comment added Gro-Tsen @ZhenLin: To be sure I understand, you need infinite conjunctions or disjunctions to express such theories, right?
Jun 10, 2022 at 11:39 comment added Zhen Lin Anyway, back to your original question: how about theories in geometric logic? There are many examples of propositional theories that have no models in any spatial topos but do have models in some localic toposes. (Every locale without points gives rise to such a thing, tautologically!)
Jun 10, 2022 at 11:33 comment added Zhen Lin @Gro-Tsen Actually I think even the joke compromise is conventionally the other way around: "Grothendieck topoi" but "elementary toposes".

clarify that I'm asking about questions in the internal language (thereby also making sure that "internal language" appears in the text so it can be searched)
Jun 9, 2022 at 20:45 comment added Gro-Tsen @AlexKruckman: I admit I don't remember where I got this, and it's a bit of a joke compromise, but the logic is that it's not the same word: Grothendieck forged “un topos” as a companion to “une topologie” (and he and his students used “des topos” as plural), whereas Lawvere thought of the Greek word “τόπος”.
Jun 9, 2022 at 19:58 comment added Alex Kruckman Footnote 2 made me laugh. What is the source of this convention??
Jun 9, 2022 at 18:15 comment added Maxime Ramzi I'm not sure but I think the fact that any Grothendieck topos admits a (geometric) surjection from a localic topos might be relevant to the second separation
