A topos is a category that behaves very much like the category of sets and possesses a good notion of localization. Related to topos are: sheaves, presheaves, descent, stacks, localization,...

Locales as geometric objects
First, if you haven't already you should have a look at this introductory paper by P.T. Johnstone The Art of pointless thinking which gives a lot of insight on how locale theory works.
Here are some o …

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 …

Explicit description of a topos of sheaves on an internal boolean algebra
The topos of sheaves over a boolean algebra $B$ is the classifying topos of the theory of points of $B$, that is of boolean algebra morphism $B \to \{0,1\}$.
So, this $E$ is the classifying topos of t …

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 …

Questions about coherent topology
Edit : I should clarify that I've interpreted "Etale topos" to mean the petit/small étale topos everywhere. What I've said about Grothendieck-Galois duality only apply to the petit étale topos. If yo …

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 …

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 …

Is there a good general definition of "sheaves with values in a category"?
$\newcommand\Set{\mathrm{Set}}$The naïve definition of sheaves is very well behaved if you look at functoriality in the $f_*$ direction: Of course, you are going to need to assume that $\mathcal{A}$ h …

Dissolution of a topos
I'm not aware of litterature on this, but this is something I have thought about several years ago and never ended-up using or publishing. What is below is me trying to remind myself how it works - un …

Relationship between canonical topology on a topos and its site of definition
This is essentially correct, and there is no need for the topology to be subcanonical. But let me clarify:
Whether the topology is subcaninical or not, we have the following: given any family of maps …

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 …

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 …

Tensor product of sites
The category $H$ can be described as the category of $E$-valued sheaves on $D$, or $F$-valued sheaves on $C$.
You get a site by taking the category $C \times D$ and taking the topology generated by th …
