We give an expository, and hopefully approachable, account of the Joyal-Tierney result that every topos can be represented as a topos of sheaves on a localic groupoid. We give an explicit presentation of a representing localic groupoid for…

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,…

We show that the cohomology table of any coherent sheaf on projective space is a convergent--but possibly infinite--sum of positive real multiples of the cohomology tables of what we call supernatural sheaves.

One of the main prerequisites for understanding sheaves on elementary toposes is the proof that a (Lawvere-Tierney) topology on a topos induces a closure operator on it, and vice-versa. That standard theorem is usually presented in a…

We consider the set of affine alcoves associated with a root system R as a topological space and consider a certain category S of sheaves of Z-modules on this space. Here Z is the structure algebra of the root system over a field k. To any…

Boolean valued models for a signature $\mathcal{L}$ are generalizations of $\mathcal{L}$-structures in which we allow the $\mathcal{L}$-relation symbols to be interpreted by boolean truth values. For example, for elements…

Cubical type theory provides a constructive justification to certain aspects of homotopy type theory such as Voevodsky's univalence axiom. This makes many extensionality principles, like function and propositional extensionality, directly…

We show that there exists a fine moduli space for torsion-free sheaves on a projective surface, which have a "good framing" on a big and nef divisor. This moduli space is a quasi-projective scheme. This is accomplished by showing that such…

We study presheaves on semicategories enriched in a quantaloid: this gives rise to the notion of regular presheaf. A semicategory is regular when its representable presheaves are regular, and its regular presheaves then constitute an…

This paper provides a preparatory introduction to sheaves and topoi, written as a conceptual continuation of the author's earlier introduction to torsors and as preparatory background for the author's arXiv paper \emph{Grothendieck…

We show that the category of decomposition spaces and CULF maps is locally a topos. Precisely, the slice category over any decomposition space D is a presheaf topos, namely decomp/D=Psh(tw D).

In this paper we define tensor modules(sheaves) of Schur type,or of generalized Schur type associated with the give module(sheaf), using the so-called Schur functors. Then using global method we construct canonical homomorphisms between…

We introduce a dynamical Mordell-Lang-type conjecture for coherent sheaves. When the sheaves are structure sheaves of closed subschemes, our conjecture becomes a statement about unlikely intersections. We prove an analogue of this…

Tableaux originate as a decision method for a logical language. They can also be extended to obtain a structure that spells out all the information in a set of sentences in terms of truth value assignments to atomic formulas that appear in…

We investigate the behaviour of tilting sheaves under pushforward by a finite Galois morphism. We determine conditions under which such a pushforward of a tilting sheaf is a tilting sheaf. We then produce some examples of Severi Brauer flag…

In this note we study the local projective model structure on presheaves of complexes on a site, i.e. we describe its classes of cofibrations, fibrations and weak equivalences. In particular, we prove that the fibrant objects are those…

It is shown that the Joyal quasi-category model structure for simplicial sets extends to a model structure on simplicial presheaves, for which the weak equivalences are local (or stalkwise) Joyal equivalences.

A compositional sheaf-theoretic framework for the modeling of complex event-based systems is presented. We show that event-based systems are machines, with inputs and outputs, and that they can be composed with machines of different types,…
