Abstract

In the setting of relative topos theory, we show that the pullback of a relative presheaf topos on an arbitrary fibration is the relative presheaf topos on its inverse image. To this end, we develop and exploit a notion of extension with base change of a morphism of sites along the canonical functor. This provides a tool to compare the canonical relative site of the direct (resp. inverse) image with the direct (resp. inverse) image of the canonical relative site: although these operations do not commute in general, we show that in the case of the direct image they are related by an indexed weak geometric morphism, while in the case of the inverse image they can be compared via a cartesian functor that induces a suitable topology making them Morita-equivalent.

Commutation of Smyth and Hoare Power Constructions in Well-filtered Dcpos

Prior work [11] established a commutativity result for the Hoare power construction and a modified version of the Smyth power construction consisting of strongly compact sets, which is defined for Us-admitting dcpos, where Us-admissability is well-filteredness with compact sets replaced by strongly compact sets. In this paper, we consider the Hoare power construction H and the Smyth power construction Q on the category WF of well-filtered dcpos with Scott-continuous maps. Actually, the functors H and Q can be extended to monads. We prove that H and Q commute, that is, HQ(L) is isomorphic to QH(L) for a well-filtered dcpo L, if and only if L satisfies a property similar to consonance that we call (KC) and the Scott topology coincides with the upper Vietoris topology on Q(L). We also investigate the Eilenberg-Moore category of the monad composed by H and Q under a distributive law on WF and characterize it to be a subcategory of the category Frm, which is composed of all frames and all frame homomorphisms.

Groupoidal polygraphic homology

We show that for a 1-category C, the (ω, k)-polygraphic homology of C for any k {\geq} 1, that is taken with cofibrant resolutions in strict (ω, k)- categories, does not depend on k and is canonically isomorphic to the homology of the classifying space of C. When C is a groupoid, we also show this for k = 0. In particular, this means that the classical homology of groups can be obtained by taking cofibrant resolutions in strict ω-groupoids. In order to show these results, we develop the theory of discrete Conduché fibrations in the category of strict (ω, k)-categories, building on previous work by the first-named author.
