A coproduct of $C^\ast$-algebras

Given two locally compact spaces $X$ and $Y$ then the product $X \times Y$ is an open subset inside $\overline{X} \times \overline{Y}$, where $\overline{X}$ and $\overline{X}$ are the one point compac …

When does a cofibrantly generated model category have this factorization property?

I've encountered that condition a few time. Here is what I know about it: If that property is satisfied for a model category $M$ then the full subcategory $C$ of finite $I$-cell complex is itself a Br …

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 …

Large "internal" categories and "finite" products

The question is basically "do we really have a good way to talk about large categories internally in an elementary topos?" An internal small category in a topos $E$ is just a category object in $E$. U …

Is there a reasoned derivation of the coherence conditions for symmetric rig categories?

I'm stating here what I think is the correct version of the conjecture in John Baez's answer. The 1-categorical theory of rigs has morphisms given by polynomials whose coefficients are in $\mathbb{N}$ …

When is the category of sheaves on a site compactly assembled/a continuous category?

As far as I'm aware, no such conditions is known - The paper of Anel and Lejay is the closest to an answer available in the litterature. So, this is not an answer to the question, but more of an expan …

Giraud's axioms imply balanced

Here is what I think is the simplest strategy. I'm only giving a sequence of lemma which lead to the result and I think they are all easy enough, but maybe a little teddious to write down (but let me …

Topos notions coming from topology and uniqueness of generalizations

If the absence of adjoints is what worries you, you can consider this to be a two-step process - and I would argue that in practice this is the case in the vast majority of cases: One first generalize …

Delexing a finitely complete category

$\DeclareMathOperator\Lex{Lex}\DeclareMathOperator\Delex{Delex}\newcommand\Set{\mathrm{Set}}$If you take $D$ to be the category of sets, you get that $\Lex(C,\Set)$ is the category of functor $[\Delex …

Are there substantive differences between the different approaches to "size issues" in categ...

From the point of view of a category theorist, I would say there are many fundamentally non-equivalent way of handling size questions - but they are in a completely different direction than what is me …

Conservative cocompletion of categories of geometric shapes for homotopy theory

I don't really see a way to give a single answer here, these are 7 different questions (well actually a lot more than 7 if we count all the different flavours of cubes, and of the other ones, probably …

How general is $TX \otimes X \simeq X \otimes TX$?

Let $C$ be a monoidal category, $X \in C$ an object, and $TX$ the free monoid object on $X$, assuming it exists. How often do we have an isomorphism $TX \otimes X = X \otimes TX$? is there a canonical …

Why is it not possible to define the necessity operator internally $\Box: \Omega \to \Omega$...

As said in the comment, I'm not sure what to add to the paragraph, the point is that in a topos there is no functions $\Omega \to \Omega$ that has the property expected of a neccessity operator except …

About the characterization of categories of model of algebraic theories

So, in his Handbook of categorical algebra Vol 2, Borceux states a theorem (the 3.9.1, page 158) that says that: Given a category $C$ with a functor $U:C \to Set$, $C$ is the category of models of a ( …

Compact objects in slice categories of finitely presentable categories

This is true. It is for example easy to see that the full subcategory of objects of this form is closed under all finite colimits*, dense and that these objects are all finitely presentable. I unfortu …
