Internal logic of the topos of simplicial sets
I am looking for a closed statement (i.e. not depending on any parameter objects) which is true in the internal logic of the topos of simplicial sets, but is not an intuitionistic tautology. Ideally, ...

What can be expressed in and proved with the internal logic of a topos?
The title of this post expresses what I really want, which is to learn how to wield the internal logic of a topos more effectively. However, to bring it down to earth, I'll ask a few basic questions ...

What do coherent topoi have to do with completeness?
There is a theorem of Deligne in SGA4 that a "coherent" topos (e.g. one on a site where all objects are quasi-compact and quasi-separated) has enough points (i.e. isomorphisms can be detected via ...

Is it possible for a theorem to be constructive only in a non-constructive metatheory?
There are several theorems in category-theoretic logic which say something like, "any proposition in X logic that is provable in topos logic assuming (the law of excluded middle and) the axiom of ...

Model existence theorem in topos theory
One of most classical and somehow striking result in classical model theory states:
A consistent first order theory $T$ has a model.
Few considerations are needed.
This result is not true for ...

What does the localic reflection of a classifying topos classify?
Let $\mathbb{T}$ be a geometric theory. Let $\mathrm{Set}[\mathbb{T}]$ be its classifying topos, such that geometric morphisms from any (cocomplete) topos $\mathcal{E}$ into $\mathrm{Set}[\mathbb{T}]$ ...

Images of complemented subobjects in toposes
Let ${f : E \rightarrow S}$ be a geometric morphism (between toposes).
For $s$ in $S$ and $x$ in $E$ let ${\pi : f^* s \times x \rightarrow x}$ be the obvious projection in $E$.
Let ${u \rightarrow f^*...

Images of complemented subobjects in hyperconnected toposes over Boolean bases
Let $S$ be a Boolean topos.
Let ${f : E \rightarrow S}$ be a hyperconnected geometric morphism.
For $s$ in $S$ and $x$ in $E$ let ${\pi : f^* s \times x \rightarrow x}$ be the obvious projection in $E$...
