On the theories classified by an \'etendue

Logic 2025-12-30 v3 Category Theory

We give a model-theoretic characterisation of the geometric theories classified by \'etendues -- the `locally localic' topoi. They are the theories where each model is determined, syntactically and semantically, by any witness of a fixed collection of formulae.
