All representable functors are continuous. This makes it possible to associate additional natural operations with them, which are absent for arbitrary presheaves.
- What are the sufficient and what are the necessary conditions on the category $I$ for the category of continuous presheaves on $I$ to be a Grothendieck topos?
- What are the sufficient and what are the necessary conditions on the subcanonical site I for all sheaves to be continuous? Is there a canonical way to introduce the structure of such a site on an arbitrary small category? (by canonical I mean functorial with respect to category equivalences)
