Is an open map with open relative diagonal necessarily a local homeomorphism?

Let $f : X \to Y$ be an open (and continuous) map of locales. Suppose the relative diagonal $\Delta_f : X \to X \times_Y X$ is an open embedding of locales. … An open embedding of locales is a morphism $f : X \to Y$ that is isomorphic to the inclusion of some open sublocale of $Y$. …

Every Grothendieck topos can be built from localic topoi

They are (it is?) the same theorem, but emphasising different aspects. We can exploit the object classifier to get from the formulation in terms of (pseudo)colimits to the "elementary" formulation in …

Localic or topos-theoretic definition of $\operatorname{Spec}$

This is ultimately the same construction as the one Simon Henry describes, but you might like the different perspective. Definition. Let $A$ be a commutative rig and let $L$ be a distributive lattice. …

The real numbers object in Sh(Top)

Following a suggestion of Thomas Holder, we can close the gap as follows: For each object $Y$ in $\mathbf{T}$, there is a pseudonatural local geometric morphism $\mathbf{Sh}(\mathbf{T}_{/ Y}) \to \m …

Universally closed implies proper for locales

What about locales? Is there an intuitionistic proof? It seems to me possible to improve the proof mentioned above, for topological spaces at least. …

Universally closed implies proper for locales

It turns out that Vermeulen has essentially answered the question in [A note on stably closed maps of locales]. The argument there implies: Theorem. Let $g : X \to S$ be a morphism of locales. …
