Variation on definition of logical functors avoiding power objects

Without power sets in meta-theory not every Grothendieck topos is an elementary topos, Set is still Grothendieck, but it lacks power objects. Now I am looking for a definition of a logical functor ...

Do presheaf toposes satisfy the full fan theorem?

Presheaf toposes satisfy LPO and (edit: if over categories with binary products) PAx and countable choice internally, so they automatically satisfy the stable fan theorem (every bar which is the ...

Examples of statements that are valid in every spatial topos

I am looking for statements¹ that, when interpreted in the internal language of a topos, are valid in all spatial toposes (i.e., the topos of sheaves of any topological space) that are not valid in ...

Ordinal-valued sheaves as internal ordinals

Let $X$ be a topological space (feel free to add some separation axioms like “completely regular” if they help in answering the questions). Let $\alpha$ be an ordinal, identified as usual with $\{\...

Sheafs in O-minimal Structures

Let $\mathcal{N} = (N, <, \ldots)$ be an o-minimal structure and let $X \subset N^m$ be a definable set. Following the procedure stablished by Edmundo, Jones and Peatfield in "Sheaf cohomology in o-...

Is there a way to "puncture" a topos?

Let $E$ be a (Grothendieck) topos, e.g. $E = \text{Sh}(X)$ for a topological space $X$. And let $p = (p^*, p_*):\text{Set}\to E$ be a point of $E$, is there a way to "puncture" $E$ in some sense? By "...

Relationship between coherent toposes/coherent logic and coherent sheaves

I've heard it claimed that the adjective "coherent" in logic/topos theory (i.e. coherent logic, coherent toposes, coherent categories) was adopted to fit in with the terminology of coherent sheaves in ...

References regarding a connection between recursion theory and sheaves

In Manin's A Course in Mathematical Logic for Mathematicians, he defines (p.201) a structure $(\mathcal{E},R)$ given an enumerable set $E \subset (\mathbb{Z}^+)^n$ by: $\mathcal{E}$ is the set of all ...

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 (...
