$Sh(B)$-valued models of $(\kappa ,\kappa )$-coherent categories

Abstract

A basic technique in model theory is to name the elements of a model by introducing new constant symbols. We describe the analogous construction in the language of syntactic categories/ sites. As an application we identify Set\mathbf{Set}-valued regular functors on the syntactic category with a certain class of topos-valued models (we will refer to them as "Sh(B)Sh(B)-valued models"). For the coherent fragment LωωgLωωL_{\omega \omega }^g \subseteq L_{\omega \omega } this was proved by Jacob Lurie, our discussion gives a new proof, together with a generalization to LκκgL_{\kappa \kappa }^g when κ\kappa is weakly compact. We present some further applications: first, a Sh(B)Sh(B)-valued completeness theorem for LκκgL_{\kappa \kappa }^g (κ\kappa is weakly compact), second, that CSet\mathcal{C}\to \mathbf{Set} regular functors (on coherent categories with disjoint coproducts) admit an elementary map to a product of coherent functors.
