Condensed Objects

This file defines the category of condensed objects in a category C, following the work of Clausen-Scholze and Barwick-Haine.

Implementation Details

We use the coherent Grothendieck topology on CompHaus, and define condensed objects in C to be C-valued sheaves, with respect to this Grothendieck topology.

Note: Our definition more closely resembles "Pyknotic objects" in the sense of Barwick-Haine, as we do not impose cardinality bounds, and manage universes carefully instead.

def Condensed (C : Type w) [CategoryTheory.Category.{v, w} C] : Type (max (max (max (u + 1) w) u) v)

Condensed.{u} C is the category of condensed objects in a category C, which are defined as sheaves on CompHaus.{u} with respect to the coherent Grothendieck topology.

Equations

• Condensed C = CategoryTheory.Sheaf (CategoryTheory.coherentTopology CompHaus) C

instance instCategoryCondensed {C : Type w} [CategoryTheory.Category.{v, w} C] : CategoryTheory.Category.{max (u + 1) v, max (max (u + 1) w) v} (Condensed C)

Equations

• instCategoryCondensed = inferInstance

abbrev CondensedSet : Type (u + 2)

Condensed sets (types) with the appropriate universe levels, i.e. Type (u+1)-valued sheaves on CompHaus.{u}.

Equations

• CondensedSet = Condensed (Type (?u.3 + 1))
