Grothendieck topologies #

THIS FILE IS SYNCHRONIZED WITH MATHLIB4. Any changes to this file require a corresponding PR to mathlib4.

Definition and lemmas about Grothendieck topologies. A Grothendieck topology for a category C is a set of sieves on each object X satisfying certain closure conditions.

Alternate versions of the axioms (in arrow form) are also described. Two explicit examples of Grothendieck topologies are given:

A pretopology, or a basis for a topology is defined in pretopology.lean. The topology associated to a topological space is defined in spaces.lean.

We use the definition of [nlab] and [MM92][] (Chapter III, Section 2), where Grothendieck topologies are saturated collections of morphisms, rather than the notions of the Stacks project (00VG) and the Elephant, in which topologies are allowed to be unsaturated, and are then completed. TODO (BM): Add the definition from Stacks, as a pretopology, and complete to a topology.

This is so that we can produce a bijective correspondence between Grothendieck topologies on a small category and Lawvere-Tierney topologies on its presheaf topos, as well as the equivalence between Grothendieck topoi and left exact reflective subcategories of presheaf toposes.

The definition of a Grothendieck topology: a set of sieves J X on each object X satisfying three axioms:

  1. For every object X, the maximal sieve is in J X.
  2. If S ∈ J X then its pullback along any h : Y ⟶ X is in J Y.
  3. If S ∈ J X and R is a sieve on X, then provided that the pullback of R along any arrow f : Y ⟶ X in S is in J Y, we have that R itself is in J X.

A sieve S on X is referred to as J-covering, (or just covering), if S ∈ J X.

An extensionality lemma in terms of the coercion to a pi-type. We prove this explicitly rather than deriving it so that it is in terms of the coercion rather than the projection .sieves.

If S is a subset of R, and S is covering, then R is covering as well.

See https://stacks.math.columbia.edu/tag/00Z5 (2), or discussion after [MM92] Chapter III, Section 2, Definition 1.

The intersection of two covering sieves is covering.

The stability axiom in 'arrow' form: If S covers f then S covers g ≫ f for any g.

The transitivity axiom in 'arrow' form: If S covers f and every arrow in S is covered by R, then R covers f.

The trivial Grothendieck topology, in which only the maximal sieve is covering. This topology is also known as the indiscrete, coarse, or chaotic topology.

Equations

A category satisfies the right Ore condition if any span can be completed to a commutative square. NB. Any category with pullbacks obviously satisfies the right Ore condition, see right_ore_of_pullbacks.

Equations

The atomic Grothendieck topology: a sieve is covering iff it is nonempty. For the pullback stability condition, we need the right Ore condition to hold.
