Sketching the elephant🔗

Though the 1Lab is not purely a formalization of category theory, it does aim to be a useful reference on the subject. However, the 1Lab organizes content in a highly non-linear fashion; this can make it somewhat difficult to use as a companion to more traditional resources.

This page attempts to (somewhat) rectify this situation by gathering all of the results from “Sketches of an Elephant – A Topos Theory Compendium” (Johnstone 2002) in a single place.1

A. Toposes as categories🔗

A1 Regular and cartesian closed categories🔗

A1.1 Preliminary assumptions🔗

  • Lemma 1.1.1: FG-iso→is-reflective
  • Lemma 1.1.2: crude-monadicity
  • Lemma 1.1.4: lambek
  • Proposition 1.1.7:
  • Lemma 1.1.8: Karoubi-is-completion

A1.2 Cartesian Categories🔗

  • Lemma 1.2.1:
    1. Finitely-complete→is-finitely-complete
    2. with-equalisers
    3. with-pullbacks

A1.3 Regular Categories🔗

  • Proposition 1.3.4: is-strong-epi→is-regular-epi
  • Definition 1.3.6: is-congruence

A1.4 Coherent Categories🔗

A1.5 Cartesian closed categories🔗

  • Lemma 1.5.2:
    1. (⇐) exponentiable→constant-family⊣product
  • Corollary 1.5.3: (⇒) dependent-product→lcc (⇐) lcc→dependent-product

A1.6 Subobject classifiers🔗

C Toposes as spaces🔗

C2 Sheaves on a site🔗

C2.1 Sites and coverages🔗

  • Definition 2.1.1: Coverage
  • Definition 2.1.2:
    • Compatible families: Patch
    • Separated presheaves: is-separated₁
    • Sheaves on a site: is-sheaf, is-separated
  • Lemma 2.1.5: is-sheaf-maximal
  • Lemma 2.1.6: is-sheaf-factor
  • Lemma 2.1.7: is-sheaf-transitive, though see the warning there.
  • Example 2.1.12, (universally) effective-epimorphic sieves: is-colim, is-universal-colim

C2.2 The topos of sheaves🔗

See topos of sheaves.

  • Proposition 2.2.6:
    • Reflectivity: Sheafification-is-reflective
    • Completeness: Sh[]-is-complete
    • Cocompleteness: Sh[]-is-cocomplete
    • Cartesian closure: Sh[]-cc
