Site (mathématiques)En théorie des catégories, une branche des mathématiques, une topologie de Grothendieck est une structure sur une catégorie permettant de voir certains objets de comme les ensembles ouverts d'un espace topologique. Une catégorie munie d'une topologie de Grothendieck est appelée un site. Une topologie de Grothendieck axiomatise la notion de recouvrement d'un espace topologique par des ouverts. Cela permet de généraliser la définition de faisceaux, et leur cohomologie, à un site quelconque.
Subobject classifierIn , a subobject classifier is a special object Ω of a category such that, intuitively, the subobjects of any object X in the category correspond to the morphisms from X to Ω. In typical examples, that morphism assigns "true" to the elements of the subobject and "false" to the other elements of X. Therefore, a subobject classifier is also known as a "truth value object" and the concept is widely used in the categorical description of logic. Note however that subobject classifiers are often much more complicated than the simple binary logic truth values {true, false}.
Espace séquentielEn mathématiques, un espace séquentiel est un espace topologique dont la topologie est définie par l'ensemble de ses suites convergentes. C'est le cas en particulier pour tout espace à base dénombrable. Soit X un espace topologique. Un sous-ensemble U de X est dit « séquentiellement ouvert » si toute suite (xn) de X qui converge vers un point de U « appartient à U à partir d'un certain rang ». Un sous-ensemble F de X est dit « séquentiellement fermé » si la convergence d'une suite (xn) de F vers x implique que x appartient à F.
Kernel (set theory)In set theory, the kernel of a function (or equivalence kernel) may be taken to be either the equivalence relation on the function's domain that roughly expresses the idea of "equivalent as far as the function can tell", or the corresponding partition of the domain. An unrelated notion is that of the kernel of a non-empty family of sets which by definition is the intersection of all its elements: This definition is used in the theory of filters to classify them as being free or principal.
Categorical logicNOTOC Categorical logic is the branch of mathematics in which tools and concepts from are applied to the study of mathematical logic. It is also notable for its connections to theoretical computer science. In broad terms, categorical logic represents both syntax and semantics by a , and an interpretation by a functor. The categorical framework provides a rich conceptual background for logical and type-theoretic constructions. The subject has been recognisable in these terms since around 1970.
Regular categoryIn , a regular category is a category with and coequalizers of a pair of morphisms called kernel pairs, satisfying certain exactness conditions. In that way, regular categories recapture many properties of abelian categories, like the existence of images, without requiring additivity. At the same time, regular categories provide a foundation for the study of a fragment of first-order logic, known as regular logic. A category C is called regular if it satisfies the following three properties: C is .
