An adjoint-functor theorem over topoi

Brian J. Day

Open full text 4 citations

Abstract

The usual statements of the classical adjoint-functor theorems contain the hypothesis that the codomain category should admit arbitrary intersections of families of monomorphisms with a common codomain. The aim of this article is to formulate an adjoint-functor theorem which refers, in a similar manner, to arbitrary internal intersections of “families of monomorphisms” in the case where the categories under consideration are suitably defined relative to a fixed elementary base topos (in the usual sense of Lawvere and Tierney).
