Given a geometric morphism between arbitrary Grothendieck topoi, $f:\mathcal{Sh(D)}\to\mathcal{Sh(C)}$, does the pullback $f^{-1}$ (i.e, the left adjoint) take constant sheafs to constant sheafs?

    $\begingroup$ Depends on how you define constant sheaves, for me by definition, constant sheaves are the sheaves of the form $p^*(S)$ where $p$ is the unique geometric morphism $Sh(D) \rightarrow Set = Sh(*)$. So yes. $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 6, 2018 at 14:01
  • $\begingroup$ Thanks! I was only looking at it as the sheafification of the constant presheaf, but your definition makes things more clear. $\endgroup$
