Tannaka Theory for Topos
Abstract
We consider locales as algebras in the tensor category of sup-lattices. We show the equivalence between the Joyal-Tierney descent theorem for open localic surjections in Galois theory [An extension of the Galois Theory of Grothendieck, AMS Memoirs 151] and a Tannakian recognition theorem over for the -functor - into the -category of discrete -modules. Thus, a new Tannaka recognition theorem is obtained, essentially different from those known so far. This equivalence follows from two independent results. We develop an explicit construction of the localic groupoid associated by Joyal-Tierney to , and do an exhaustive comparison with the Deligne Tannakian construction of the Hopf algebroid associated to , and show they are isomorphic, that is, . On the other hand, we show that the -category of relations of the classifying topos of any localic groupoid , is equivalent to the -category of -comodules with discrete subjacent -module, where . We are forced to work over an arbitrary base topos because, contrary to the neutral case developed over Sets in [A Tannakian Context for Galois Theory, Advances in Mathematics 234], here change of base techniques are unavoidable.
