Is the derived category of sheaves localised at pointwise homotopy equivalences locally small?
In order to define the cup and cross products in sheaf cohomology, Iversen makes computations in an intermediate derived category. If $K(X;k)$ is the triangulated category of cochain complexes of ...

Sheaf-theoretic approach to forcing
Inspired by the question here, I have been trying to understand the sheaf-theoretic approach to forcing, as in MacLane–Moerdijk's book "Sheaves in geometry and logic", Chapter VI.
A general ...

How strong a set theory is necessary for practical purposes in sheaf theory?
Is it known how much of ZFC is actually necessary for the basic, familiar constructions and theorems in sheaf theory, along the lines of section II.1 (and its exercises) in Hartshorne's "Algebraic ...

The size of sheafification
Let $X$ be a small site. Let $\aleph$ be an infinite cardinal, such that $|Ob(X)|\leq \aleph$ and $|Mor(X)|\leq \aleph$, where $Mor(X)$ is the set of all morphisms.
We define the size of a presheaf $...

Are all Grothendieck topologies on Set equivalent?
The category $\textbf{Set}$ can be given a Grothendieck topology where the covering families are jointly surjective families of set inclusions $\{X_i\stackrel{\phi_i}{\hookrightarrow} X\}\in\mathrm{...

Can one construct Freyd-Mitchell's embeddings that respect sheafifications?
For a certain presheaf $P$ with values in an abelian category $A$ satisfying AB5 and its sheafification $S$ (with respect to a small Grothendieck site) I would like to prove: $S(f):S(X)\to S(Y)$ is ...

Encoding fuzzy logic with the topos of set-valued sheaves
One of the canonical examples used by Barr & Wells in order to motivate the use of topoi is that we can construct a theory for fuzzy logic and fuzzy set theory as set-valued sheaves on a poset (...
