DUALITY THEORY FOR CATEGORICAL THEORIES

We have generalised the notion of categorical theory in model theory to the context of coherent theories. We prove a duality result between the full sub-2-category of pretopoi which are categorical, and the 2-category of profinite monoids. We also study the geometry of profinite monoids via the classifying topos construction, and show it identifies them as a full sub-2-category of the 2-category of topoi.

Abstract

We have generalised the notion of categorical theory in model theory to the context of coherent theories. We prove a duality result between the full sub-2-category of pretopoi which are categorical, and the 2-category of profinite monoids. We also study the geometry of profinite monoids via the classifying topos construction, and show it identifies them as a full sub-2-category of the 2-category of topoi.
