Can the real numbers be constructed as/from a Hom-object in a topos?

You can always rewrite a subobject $V \subseteq \mathbb{Q}$ as a function $\mathbb{Q} \to \Omega$, but you'll need to includes all the axiom that are in the definition. Even if you only look at defini …

Is Bauer–Hanson’s result “there is a topos where the Dedekind reals are countable” novel?

A first big difference between Brauer & Hansen's result and the one you are talking about is that CZF is a predicative theory (it doesn't have power set/power object) so consistency with CZF doesn't …

Limits in free cocompletion, constructively

Classically, if a locally small category $C$ has all limits of shape $K$ (for some small diagram $K$), then its free co-completion also has $K$-shapped limits. But all proof I know of that result reli …

Ordinals in constructive mathematics ? (references)

I'm looking for references presenting a constructive treatment of the theory of ordinals. By constructive I mean valid in the internal logic of a topos (so no axiom of choice and no law of excluded mi …

The field structure on the locale of real numbers

There are several (equivalent) way to go about it: You can start form the fields operation on $\mathbb{Q}$ and use that they are "locally uniformly continuous" to extend them by continuity to the loca …

Constructive algebraic geometry

Let me wrote a quick introduction to this idea: 1) Locales I do not know if you are already familiar with the notion of locale that Andrej is referring to in his talk: They are a small variation on th …

What is the status of Jordan's theorem in constructive mathematics in the language of locales?

Let me first clarify some confusion in the comments to the original question. To be clear : I'm not at all saying the persons making them were confused, as far as I can tell all the comments were corr …

How to express in categorical language that in some toposes not all complex numbers have squ...

No the problem isn't quite choosing an element from an unordered pair, even if I agree with you that it somehow feel like it is. The map you are talking about is indeed always an epimorphism. One way …

Functions on Stone spaces as "enveloping algebra" of Boolean algebra

I'm looking for references for the following closely related facts: Given a Boolean algebra $B$, I denote by $\mathbb{Z}[B]$ the free ring generated by symbols $e_b$ such that $e_b e_{b'} = e_{b \cap …

Locales as spaces of ideal/imaginary points

Here is a very brief sketches of the connection between this and forcing. I'll describe you how I understand forcing, this is quite different from how it is generally described by logician, but this h …

Constructive proof of existence of non-separable normed space

AS I said, it depends way to much on your framework to give a definitive answer ! here are some exemples that works in some cases: Take $E$ to be the free $\mathbb{Q}$-vector space on a set $S$, and …

Constructive proofs of existence in analysis using locales

I claim that the following result have constructive* proof: 1) Let $f : [0,1] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a uniformly continuous function such that $f(0)\leqslant 0$ and $f(1) \geqslant 0$ then (as a …

Locales in constructive mathematics

For this type of question the first reference that comes to my mind is P.T.Johnstone Sketches of an elephant, part C. Most of the results in this book are constructively valid: If a result is proved …

Grothendieck toposes in (very) weak foundation

There is on the nLab page "Grothendieck topos" a part about the theory of Grothendieck toposes in weak foundation. It claims that the equivalence for a category between the Giraud's axioms and being …

reference request : constructive measure theory

As the title said, I would like to know if constructive measure theory has been developed somewhere ? I am more precisely interested in the (constructive) theory of completely continuous valuation on …
