Use of Conjectures to Prove a Theorem
How about this basic one:
Theorem: There exists an irrational number $p$ and an irrational number $q$ such that $p^q$ is rational.
Proof: Let $q=\sqrt{2}$ and note that it is irrational. Conjecture …

Ideals of statements?
The following is a somewhat vague question concerning logic, but with ideas from algebraic geometry (see in particular the example at the end). The vagueness is in the notion of "language".
Let $A$ …

What are the logical morphisms from a topos E to Set?
If $E$ is a topos, is there a nice way to characterize the category of logical morphisms $E\to Set$? Is it complete and/or cocomplete?
The topos $Set$ geometrically represents a point; what does it …

Conditions for a functor to induce a logical functor between presheaf toposes?
Let $F\colon\mathcal{C}\to\mathcal{D}$ be a functor between small categories.
Question: Under what conditions is the induced functor

Example of non-"propositional" local operators on a topos?
Let $\mathcal{E}$ be a topos, and let $\top\colon1\to\Omega$ be its subobject classifier. We refer to global elements $P\colon 1\to\Omega$ as propositions; they form a poset, denoted $(|\Omega|,\leq)$ …

Topos properties from coverage conditions
For any category $C$ and coverage $J$ on it, let $\mathcal{E}:=\mathsf{Shv}(C,J)$ denote topos of sheaves on the site $(C,J)$. What sorts of results are known about the relationship between properties …

What can be expressed in and proved with the internal logic of a topos?
The title of this post expresses what I really want, which is to learn how to wield the internal logic of a topos more effectively. However, to bring it down to earth, I'll ask a few basic questions a …

Reference request: Heyting algebra structure on Catalan numbers
I found a reference: "Dyck algebras, interval temporal logic and posets of intervals", which discusses these Heyting algebras (though not from a topos-theoretic perspective).

Reference request: Heyting algebra structure on Catalan numbers
I've noticed that for every natural number $n\in\mathbb{N}$, there is a finite Heyting algebra with cardinality $C(n)$, where $C(n)$ is the $n$th Catalan number,
$$1,1,2,5,14,42,132,\ldots$$
I'm looki …
