In this paper we use the notion of Grothendieck topology to present a unified way to approach representability in supergeometry, which applies to both the differential and algebraic settings.
A new and extensive formalism is developed for monads and galaxies in non-standard enlargements. It is shown that monads and galaxies can be manipulated using order-preserving and order-reversing set-to-set maps, and that set properties…
These notes were written for a presentation given at the university Paris VII in January 2012. The goal was to explain a proof of a famous theorem by P. Deligne about coherent topoi (coherent topoi have enough points) and to show how this…
This is an introductory textbook to univalent mathematics and homotopy type theory, a mathematical foundation that takes advantage of the structural nature of mathematical definitions and constructions. It is common in mathematical practice…
The immensely fruitful concept of Grothendieck topology or covering issued from the efforts of algebraic geometers to study "sheaf-like" objects defined on categories more general than the lattice of open sets on a topological space. In the…
This paper is the first in a series whose goal is to develop a fundamentally new way of constructing theories of physics. The motivation comes from a desire to address certain deep issues that arise when contemplating quantum theories of…
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…
In this note, we present a few existence theorems for the quotient of a scheme by the action of a group. The first two sections are devoted to Grothendieck topologies and descent theory. The third one is dealing with quotients: we first…
A topology is defined on the mapping class group of a compact connected orientable surface. It is shown that a notion of "genericity" on subsets of the mapping class group arises from this definition. Many plausible results follow from this…
What makes two computational systems equivalent? Topos theory answers with classifying toposes: a system's semantic content is encoded in the geometric theory it classifies, and two presentations are equivalent when their classifying…
In this paper, we deal with quantum theories on presheaves and sheaves on context categories consisting of commutative von Neumann algebras of bounded operators on a Hilbert space, from two viewpoints. One is to reduce presheaf-based topos…
In these self-contained low prerequisite introductory notes we first present (in part 1) basic concepts of set theory and algebra without explicit category theory. We then present (in part 2) basic category theory involving a somewhat…
We study morphisms of internal locales of Grothendieck toposes externally: treating internal locales and their morphisms as sheaves and natural transformations. We characterise those morphisms of internal locales that induce surjective…
We introduce the notion of a "graded topological space": a topological space endowed with a sheaf of abelian groups which we think of as a sheaf of gradings. Any object living on a graded topological space will be graded by this sheaf of…
Many interesting classes of maps from homotopical algebra can be characterised as those maps with the right lifting property against certain sets of maps (such classes are sometimes referred to as cofibrantly generated). In a more…
We revisit the work of To\"en--Vezzosi and Lurie on Grothendieck topologies, using the new tools of acyclic classes and congruences. We introduce a notion of extended Grothendieck topology on any $\infty$-topos, and prove that the poset of…
In this thesis we propose and study a theory of ordered locales, a type of point-free space equipped with a preorder structure on its frame of opens. It is proved that the Stone-type duality between topological spaces and locales lifts to a…
We introduce, comment and develop the Scott adjunction, mostly from the point of view of a category theorist. Besides its technical and conceptual aspects, in a nutshell we provide a categorification of the Scott topology over a posets with…
Lindenhovius has studied Grothendieck topologies on posets and has given a complete classification in the case that the poset is Artinian. We extend his approach to more general posets, by translating known results in locale and domain…
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…
