Topic: Topos theory so far

Hi, just curious what's the current status of topos theory in Lean?
Kevin Buzzard (Mar 19 2021 at 16:27):
which kind of topos?
Ken Lee (Mar 19 2021 at 16:27):
Grothendieck topos
Kevin Buzzard (Mar 19 2021 at 16:28):
We have the concept of a sheaf on a site, and that's pretty much it. But Bhavik has a load of work on elementary topoi.

oh cool! That's presumably on the logic side of things? How about on the geometric side? (E.g. connected morphisms)

Not much on the geometric side - we don't even have geometric morphisms yet! I think they're very much within reach though, and I think it wouldn't be too hard to define a grothendieck topos as a category equivalent to a category of sheaves on a small site, and do geometric morphisms on them
