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 .
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).
A locale is a sort of a space but perhaps not with enough points. [3] The topos theory is sometimes said to be the theory of generalized locales. [4]Jean Giraud's gros topos, Peter Johnstone's topological topos, [5] or more recent incarnations such as condensed sets or pyknotic sets.

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 ...
In mathematics, The fundamental theorem of topos theory states that the slice / of a topos over any one of its objects is itself a topos. Moreover, if there is a morphism f : A → B {\displaystyle f:A\rightarrow B} in E {\displaystyle \mathbf {E} } then there is a functor f ∗ : E / B → E / A {\displaystyle f^{*}:\mathbf {E} /B\rightarrow ...
Moerdijk is seen, together with André Joyal, as one of the founders of algebraic set theory. [12] [13] In 1992 he wrote, together with Saunders Mac Lane, a book on topos theory that became the standard reference on the subject: Sheaves in geometry and logic. A first introduction to topos theory. [14]
