B 2-Categorical Aspects of Topos Theory

B1 Indexed categories and fibrations

B1.1 Review of 2-categories

B1.2 Indexed categories

B1.4 Limits and colimits

B1.5 Descent conditions and stacks

B2 Internal and locally internal categories

B3.3 Giraud’s theorem

B3.4 Colimits in Top

  • Topos

  • The paragraph before B3.4.8 refers to A4.1.13, but should probably refer instead to A4.1.15.

C Toposes as Spaces

C1 Sheaves on a locale

C1.1 Frames and nuclei

C1.2 Locales and spaces

C1.3 Sheaves, local homeomorphisms and frame-valued sets

C1.4 Continuous maps

(…)

C1.5 Some topological properties of toposes

C2 Sheaves on a site

C2.1 Sites and coverages

C2.2 The topos of sheaves

C2.3 Morphisms of sites

C2.4 Internal sites and pullbacks

C2.5 Fibrations of sites

C3 Classes of geometric morphisms

C3.1 Open maps

C3.2 Proper maps

C3.3 Locally connected morphisms

C3.4 Tidy morphisms

C3.6 Local maps

  • local geometric morphism

  • local topos

  • Example C3.6.15(e) says that (E/l(M)) ce(E/l(M))_{ce} is equivalent to SetSet, but the referred-to paper “Local maps of toposes” seems to say that it should be equivalent to EE instead.
