We systematically investigate, for a monoid $M$, how topos-theoretic properties of $\mathbf{PSh}(M)$, including the properties of being atomic, strongly compact, local, totally connected or cohesive, correspond to semigroup-theoretic…

We define a class of sites such that the associated topos is equivalent to the category of smooth sets (representations) of some locally prodiscrete monoids (to be defined). Examples of locally prodiscrete monoids include profinite groups…

Two distinct structures of aggregates of atoms connected by anisotropic bonds with a network configuration are discussed from the viewpoint of a point set topology. A specific topological space connects the two types of topological…

We explain the motivation for looking for a predicative analogue of the notion of a topos and propose two definitions. For both notions of a predicative topos we will present the basic results, providing the groundwork for future work in…

Butz and Moerdijk famously showed that every (Grothendieck) topos with enough points is equivalent to the category of sheaves on some topological groupoid. We give an alternative, more algebraic construction in the special case of a topos…

There is a well-established homotopy theory of simplicial objects in a Grothendieck topos, and folklore says that the weak equivalences are axiomatisable in the geometric fragment of $L_{\omega_1, \omega}$. We show that it is in fact a…

While topology given by a linear order has been extensively studied, this cannot be said about the case when the order is given only locally. The aim of this paper is to fill this gap. We consider relation between local orderability and…

In this short note, a topos - called the topos of the connectivity space - is associated with every such space.

We arrange morphisms and comorphisms of sites as the horizontal and vertical cells of a double category of sites; using the formalism of extensions and restrictions of presheaves, we explains how one can define a sheafification double…

We regard a geometric theory classified by a topos as a syntactic presentation for the topos and develop tools for finding such presentations. Extensions of geometric theories, which can add axioms, symbols and sorts, are treated as objects…

Topos theory, a branch of category theory, has been proposed as mathematical basis for the formulation of physical theories. In this article, we give a brief introduction to this approach, emphasising the logical aspects. Each topos serves…

The atoms of the Schanuel topos can be described as the pairs $(n,G)$ where $n$ is a finite set and $G$ is a subgroup of $\operatorname{Aut}(n)$. We give a general criterion on an atomic site ensuring that the atoms of the topos of sheaves…

As the prototypical category, $\mathbf{Set}$ has many properties which make it special amongst categories. From the point of view of mathematical logic, one such property is that $\mathbf{Set}$ has enough structure to "properly" formalise…

We discuss some ways in which topos theory (a branch of category theory) can be applied to interpretative problems in quantum theory and quantum gravity. In Section 1, we introduce these problems. In Section 2, we introduce topos theory,…

In this paper, we investigate the order algebraic structure in the category of sheaves on a given locale $X$. Since every localic topos has a generating set formed by its subterminal objects, we define a "point" of a partially ordered sheaf…

We describe a geometric theory classified by Connes-Consani's epicylic topos and two related theories respectively classified by the cyclic topos and by the topos $[{\mathbb N}^{\ast}, \mathbf{Set}]$.

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…

Sheaves are objects of a local nature: a global section is determined by how it looks locally. Hence, a sheaf cannot describe mathematical structures which contain global or nonlocal geometric information. To fill this gap, we introduce the…

We construct some new cohomology theories for topological groups and Lie groups and study some of its basic properties. For example, we introduce a cohomology theory based on measurable cochains which are continuous in a neighbourhood of…
