Abstract

In the present work we define and study the classifying (or "quotient") site [X/Σ][X/\Sigma] for any small site XX with (countable) coproducts endowed with an action of a (countable) semigroup Σ\Sigma. A simple case (the most relevant to our applications) is the case Σ=N\Sigma=\mathbb{N}, on which, therefore we concentrate. Our main result consists in establishing an equivalence of the corresponding T\`opos with the category of sheaves on XX with ``Σ\Sigma-action''. We prove also that there is a spectral sequence computing sheaf cohomology in [X/N][X/\mathbb{N}] and we deduce some topological properties of this site, such as its fundamental group. We finally apply the above formalism in Holomorphic Dynamics, giving a T\`opos-theoretic interpretation of Epstein's work on the Fatou-Shishikura Inequality and Infinitesimal Thurston's Rigidity.
