Some notions in mathematics can be considered relative. Relative is a term used to denote when the variation in the position of an observer implies variation in properties or measures on the observed object. We know, from Skolem theorem,…

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 $[{\mathbb N}^{\ast}, \mathbf{Set}]$.

After reviewing the multiple roles of toposes - as generalized topological spaces, as universal invariants, as categorical analogues of the set-theoretic universe, and as semantic environments for first-order theories - we recall the notion…

We define an elementary $\infty$-topos that simultaneously generalizes an elementary topos and Grothendieck $\infty$-topos. We then prove it satisfies the expected topos theoretic properties, such as descent, local Cartesian closure,…

We construct classifying $\infty$-topoi by showing that the $(\infty,2)$-category of topoi has weighted limits. We show that several prestacks of interest have a classifying topos, including the prestack of spectra.

Inspired by the theory of classifying topoi for geometric theories, we define rounded sketches and logoi and provide the notion of classifying logos for a rounded sketch. Rounded sketches can be used to axiomatise all the known fragments of…

We define the notion of a model of higher-order modal logic in an arbitrary elementary topos $\mathcal{E}$. In contrast to the well-known interpretation of (non-modal) higher-order logic, the type of propositions is not interpreted by the…

This paper is the fourth in a series whose goal is to develop a fundamentally new way of building theories of physics. The motivation comes from a desire to address certain deep issues that arise in the quantum theory of gravity. Our basic…

Over the topos of sets, the notion of Lawvere theory is infinite countably-sorted algebraic but not one-sorted algebraic. Shifting viewpoint over the object-classifier topos, a finite algebraic presentation of Lawvere theories is…

We introduce the theory of generalised ultracategories, these are relational extensions to ultracategories as defined by Lurie. An essential example of generalised ultracategories are topological spaces, and these play a fundamental role in…

We give characterizations, for various fragments of geometric logic, of the class of theories classified by a locally connected (resp. connected and locally connected, atomic, compact, presheaf) topos, and exploit the existence of multiple…

The basic notion of how topoi can be utilized in physics is presented here. Topos and category theory serve as valuable tools which extend our ordinary set-theoretical conceptions, can further the study of quantum logic and give rise to new…

We present a way of topologizing sets of Galois types over structures in abstract elementary classes with amalgamation. In the elementary case, the topologies thus produced refine the syntactic topologies familiar from first order logic. We…

In the logical framework introduced by Grohe and Tur\'an (TOCS 2004) for Boolean classification problems, the instances to classify are tuples from a logical structure, and Boolean classifiers are described by parametric models based on…

With a model of a geometric theory in an arbitrary topos, we associate a site obtained by endowing a category of generalized elements of the model with a Grothendieck topology, which we call the antecedent topology. Then we show that the…

We begin the study of categorical logic for continuous model theory. In particular, we 1. introduce the notions of metric logical categories and functors as categorical equivalents of a metric theory and interpretations, 2. prove a…
