In mathematics, a topos (US: / ˈ t ɒ p ɒ s /, UK: / ˈ t oʊ p oʊ s, ˈ t oʊ p ɒ s /; plural topoi / ˈ t ɒ p ɔɪ / or / ˈ t oʊ p ɔɪ /, or toposes) is a category that behaves like the category of sheaves of sets on a topological space (or more generally: on a site).
The theory was rounded out by establishing that a Grothendieck topos was a category of sheaves, where now the word sheaf had acquired an extended meaning, since it involved a Grothendieck topology. The idea of a Grothendieck topology (also known as a site ) has been characterised by John Tate as a bold pun on the two senses of Riemann surface .

For any morphism f in there is an associated "pullback functor" := which is key in the proof of the theorem. For any other morphism g in which shares the same codomain as f, their product is the diagonal of their pullback square, and the morphism which goes from the domain of to the domain of f is opposite to g in the pullback square, so it is the pullback of g along f, which can be denoted as .
In his 2000 article "Comments on the Development of Topos Theory", Lawvere discusses his motivation for simplifying and generalizing Grothendieck's concept of a topos. He explains that his interest stemmed from his earlier studies in physics, particularly the foundations of continuum physics as inspired by Truesdell, Noll, and others. He notes ...
Higher Topos Theory covers two related topics: ∞-categories and ∞-topoi (which are a special case of the former). The first five of the book's seven chapters comprise a rigorous development of general ∞-category theory in the language of quasicategories, a special class of simplicial set which acts as a model for ∞-categories.
A theorem of Lurie [2] states that an ∞-category is an ∞-topos if and only if it satisfies an ∞-categorical version of Giraud's axioms in ordinary topos theory. A "topos" is a category behaving like the category of sheaves of sets on a topological space. In analogy, Lurie's definition and characterization theorem of an ∞-topos says that ...
