Spahn étale topos

Let HH be a topos, let E:=(H/X) □E:=(H/X)_\Box (□\Box-closed/étale morphisms over XX).

Lemma

Like every reflective subcategory of a topos EE is closed under limits and colimits.

Lemma

In EE every monomorphism ist a strong monomorphism?.

Proof

EE is a topos and hence any monomorphism in HH is strong. Let

Q → Y ↓ ↗ ↓ Z → W\array{ Q&\to&Y \\ \downarrow&\nearrow&\downarrow \\ Z&\to&W }

be a solved lifting problem with Y→WY\to W an etale monomorphism, Z→WZ\to W an etale morphism, and Q→ZQ\to Z an epimorphism. Then by the left cancellation property also Z→YZ\to Y is etale. This remains true if we consider the lifting problem in H/XH/X.
