Which Heyting algbras arise out of some elementary topos which satisfies the ultrafilter pri...

I think your formulation of the ultrafilter principle implies the de Morgan law. Let $U$ be any proposition, consider the boolean algebra $A$ freely generated by an element $v$. so $A = \{ 0,1,v,\ne …

Simplification in Semi-continuous real ?

Ok I think I finally found an internaly valid proof by my self, so I explain it briefly here in case someone is interested some day : If $U \in \Omega$ is a subterminal object, you can define the ele …

Classification of commutative ring ideal closure operators?

Note that for any such "closure operations" one has $cl(A) = cl(\langle A\rangle)$ where $\langle A\rangle$ denotes the ideal generated by $A$. Hence it can be defined as an operation on ideals. Now …

Decomposition of an ultrafilter on the fibers of a map

Short version: If I have a map $f:Y \to I$, and $\mu$ an ultrafilter on $Y$, under what condition can $\mu$ be written as a limit/sum/integral of ultrafilters on the fibers of $f$ along the ultrafilte …

Simplification in Semi-continuous real ?

Hi ! I'm considering in a general topos $T$ the object $R$ of lower semi-continuous real (one sided lower non-empty Dedekind cuts, as for exemple in http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/one-sided+real+number …

Assuming decidable equality but not LEM in HoTT

Decidability of every set implies the law of excluded middle as soon as there is a "subobject classifier". Indeed, for every proposition $U$, the fact that "$U = \mathsf{True}$ or $U \neq \mathsf{True …

Is AC equivalent over ZF to 'every fibration can be equipped with a cleavage'?

Yes, in fact Grothendieck fibration between groupoids are enough. Let $p:Y \to X$ be any surjection. We construct the following groupoid $G$. Its set of objects is $X \amalg Y$. Its morphisms correspo …

How "small" can an ordinal be made by forcing?

I know that forcing essentially does not change the ordinals, but by small I mean in comparison with other ordinals whose definition might not be stable under forcing, like the smallest uncountable or …

Groupoids as models of symmetric simplicial sets

You can definitely characterize groupoids as presheaves on $Fin_+$ preserving some colimtis (i.e. sending some colimits in $Fin_+$ to limits in Set). In fact Groupoids are the presheaf on $Fin_+$ that …

Stone duality for the algebra of Boolean functions such that $f(\top,\dots,\top) = \top$, or...

I might be missing something, but I think you are overcomplicating things. I clain that your topos classifies the theory $T$ of pairs $(B,\phi)$ where $B$ is a boolean algebra and $\phi : B \to \{0,1\ …

Is there a version of the "infinitary" disjunctive normal form theorem for topoi and slice c...

Edit: I just saw that you were willing to take "every epi split" as an assumption. In this case there is a considerably more classical approach: Lemma A topos in which every epimorphism split is equi …

Products of double-negation sublocales (and probability distributions on them)

For your first question, if $X$ and $Y$ are two boolean locale then $X \times Y$ is boolean only if $X$ or $Y$ is discrete. So unless $\neg \neg A$ or $\neg \neg B$ are discrete, $\neg \neg A \times \ …

Barr's theorem and constructivity?

Barr's covering theorem assert that any Gorthendieck topos can be covered by a Grothendieck topos (even a locale) satisfying the axiom of choice (and hence also the law of excluded middle). Its corrol …

Topos Without point, from the point of view of logic

I am a little troubled by the following "paradox" : Let $X$ be a non trivial (Grothendieck) topos without Set points. We want to look at this situation from the point of view of logic: $X$ classifi …

Example of non-"propositional" local operators on a topos?

Here are examples that are really not propositional in the sense that they are not obtained by combining propositional modalities. Take a "non-commutative torus" I.e Takes the circle $S^1$ and makes …
