IDEA Consider the topos SetBop of Set-valued presheaves on B Replace Set by a bicategory S and consider lax or pseudo-functors Bop → S When S is Rel or Span, and morphisms are map-valued op-lax transformation, the result is a category When is it a topos?

IS UFL/B A TOPOS? Lamarch (1996): conjectured UFL/B is a topos Bunge/Niefield (1998): UFL/B is a topos, for B with (IG), and coreflective in Cat/B, using “model-generated” categories [BN] Johnstone (1998): UFL/B is not cartesian closed when B is a square and is a topos when B has (CFI), using sheaves [J] Bunge/Fiori (1998): (IG) iff (CFI), and UFL/B is a topos for B with (IG), using sheaves [BF]

Theorem 1.

UFL/B coreflective in Cat/B ⇒ UFL/B is a topos

  • Proof. UFL/B(X×BY, Z) ∼

= Cat/B(X×BY, Z) ∼ = Cat/B(X, ZY ) ∼ = UFL/B(X, ZY ) and SubUFL/B(X → B) ∼ = SubUFL(X) ∼ =

Cat(X, Ω) ∼

= Cat/B(X, Ω × B) ∼ = UFL/B(X,

  • Ω × B), where Ω

is the UFL subobject classifier in Cat. Corollary. Pseudo(Bop, Span) coreflective in Lax(Bop, Span) ⇒ Pseudo(Bop, Span) is a topos Theorem 2.

UFL/B is coreflective in Cat/B ⇐

⇒ (IG) Proof. later

Theorem 2.

UFL/B is coreflective in Cat/B ⇐

⇒ (IG)

  • Proof. Suppose UFL/B is coreflective in Cat/B. Then (*) is

a pushout in UFL/B ⇒ (*) is a pushout in Cat/B ⇒ (*) is a pushout in Cat. The converse was proved in [BN]. Corollary. Pseudo(Bop, Span) is coreflective in Lax(Bop, Span) ⇐ ⇒ (IG), and in this case, Pseudo(Bop, Span) is a topos

Is Pseudo(Bop, Rel) a topos? No, i is mono and epi (fi = gi ⇒ f = g since p is faithful), but i is not iso in DWFL(Catf/B) ≃ Pseudo(Bop, Rel) x x′ x x′

Is Pseudo(Bop, Rel) cartesian closed? Sometimes A variation of the proof of Theorem 1 shows it is cartesian closed if Pseudo(Bop, Rel) is coreflective in LaxN(Bop, Rel)
