Sketches and Classifying Logoi

Abstract

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 infinitary first order logic in L,\mathbf{L}_{\infty,\infty}, in a spectrum ranging from weaker than finitary algebraic to stronger than λ\lambda-geometric for λ\lambda a regular cardinal. We show that every rounded sketch has an associated classifying logos, having similar properties to the classifying topos of a geometric theory. This amounts to a Diaconescu-type result for rounded sketches and (Morita small) logoi, which generalises the one for classifying topoi.
