Summary

The Handbook of Categorical Algebra is designed to give, in three volumes, a detailed account of what should be known by everybody working in, or using, category theory. As such it will be a unique reference. There is ample material here for a graduate course in category theory, and the books should also serve as a reference for users.

Handbook of Categorical Algebra: Volume 3, Sheaf Theory Summary

Handbook of Categorical Algebra: Volume 3, Sheaf Theory by Francis Borceux (Universite Catholique de Louvain, Belgium)

The Handbook of Categorical Algebra is intended to give, in three volumes, a rather detailed account of what, ideally, everybody working in category theory should know, whatever the specific topic of research they have chosen. The book is planned also to serve as a reference book for both specialists in the field and all those using category theory as a tool. Volume 3 begins with the essential aspects of the theory of locales, proceeding to a study in chapter 2 of the sheaves on a locale and on a topological space, in their various equivalent presentations: functors, etale maps or W-sets. Next, this situation is generalized to the case of sheaves on a site and the corresponding notion of Grothendieck topos is introduced. Chapter 4 relates the theory of Grothendieck toposes with that of accessible categories and sketches, by proving the existence of a classifying topos for all coherent theories.

. . . these volumes will be of enormous value to graduate students in pure or applied category theory. Martin Hyland, Mathematical Reviews
