1.4. Exact quotients Remark. In other words, an equivalence relation on𝑋is a representation of some equivalence relation onh𝑋.

1.4.2(b) Definition. Anexact quotientof an equivalence relation(𝑅, 𝑑0, 𝑑1)on 𝑋 in uοΏ½ is a quadrable morphism π‘ž : 𝑋 β†’ ̄𝑋 in uοΏ½ with the following properties:

β€’ The following is a pullback square inuοΏ½:

𝑅 𝑋

𝑋 𝑋̄

𝑑1 𝑑0

π‘ž π‘ž

β€’ Every pullback ofπ‘ž : 𝑋 β†’ ̄𝑋 is an effective epimorphism inuοΏ½. 1.4.3 ΒΆ LetuοΏ½ be a category. The following is a special case of the notion of

coverage (paragraph a.2.8) and generalises the notion of weakly unary topology in the sense of [Shulman,2012, Β§3].

1.4.3(a) Definition. A unary coverage on uοΏ½ is a subset 𝖀 βŠ† moruοΏ½ with the following properties:

β€’ For every object𝑋inuοΏ½,id: 𝑋 β†’ 𝑋 is a member of𝖀.

β€’ For every morphism𝑓 : 𝑋 β†’ π‘Œ inuοΏ½ and every morphism𝑦 : 𝑇 β†’ π‘Œ in uοΏ½, if 𝑦 : 𝑇 β†’ π‘Œ is a member of 𝖀, then there is a commutative diagram inuοΏ½ of the form below,

π‘ˆ 𝑇

𝑋 π‘Œ

π‘₯ 𝑦

𝑓

whereπ‘₯ : π‘ˆ β†’ 𝑋 is also a member of𝖀.

1.4.3(b) Definition. A unary coverage 𝖀 on uοΏ½ is upward-closed if it has the following property:

β€’ Given morphisms𝑓 : 𝑋 β†’ π‘Œ and𝑔 : π‘Œ β†’ 𝑍inuοΏ½, if𝑔 ∘ 𝑓 : 𝑋 β†’ 𝑍 is a member of𝖀, then𝑔 : π‘Œ β†’ 𝑍 is also a member of𝖀.

Remark. If𝖀is an upward-closed unary coverage, then:

(i) Every split epimorphism inuοΏ½is a member of𝖀.

(ii) The full subcategory of (u�↓uοΏ½) spanned by the members of 𝖀 is replete.

1.4.3(c) Definition. A unary coverage𝖀onuοΏ½issaturatedif it has the following property:

β€’ For every commutative square inuοΏ½ of the form below,

π‘ˆ 𝑇

𝑋 π‘Œ

π‘₯ 𝑦

𝑓

if bothπ‘₯ : π‘ˆ β†’ 𝑋 and𝑓 : 𝑋 β†’ π‘Œ are members of𝖀, then𝑦 : 𝑇 β†’ π‘Œ is also a member of𝖀.

Example. If uοΏ½ is a category with pullbacks and𝖀is the class of univer-sally strict epimorphisms inuοΏ½, then𝖀is a saturated unary coverage onuοΏ½

(bylemma a.2.3(c)andcorollary a.2.3(d)).

1.4.4 β€»For the remainder of this section, uοΏ½ is a category and 𝖀 is a unary coverage onuοΏ½. Abusing notation, we will conflate𝖀with the associated coverage onuοΏ½.

1.4.5 Remark. Recallingparagraph a.2.13,𝑓 : 𝑋 β†’ π‘Œ is a𝖀-covering morph-ism in uοΏ½ if and only if there is a morphism π‘₯ : 𝑇 β†’ 𝑋 in uοΏ½ such that 𝑓 ∘ π‘₯ : 𝑇 β†’ π‘Œ is a composite of some finite (composable) sequence of members of𝖀.

Recognition principles for saturated unary coverages

Lemma. Let𝖀be a unary coverage onuοΏ½. The following are equivalent:

(i) 𝖀is saturated.

(ii) 𝖀is upward-closed and closed under composition.

(iii) Every𝖀-covering morphism inuοΏ½ is a member of𝖀.

1.4.6 ¢ Let𝐴be a presheaf onu�.

1.4.6(a) Definition. An𝖀-local generatorof𝐴is an element(𝑋, π‘Ž)of𝐴such that{(𝑋, π‘Ž)}is an𝖀-local generating set of elements of𝐴.

The presheaf𝐴is𝖀-locally 1-generableif it has an𝖀-local generator.

1.4.6(b) Definition. An𝖀-local presentationof𝐴is tuple(𝑋, 𝑃 , π‘Ž, 𝑑0, 𝑑1)with the following properties:

β€’ (𝑋, π‘Ž)is an𝖀-local generator of𝐴.

β€’ (𝑃 , (𝑑1, 𝑑0))is an𝖀-local generator of the kernel relationKr(π‘Ž β‹… (βˆ’)), whereπ‘Ž β‹… (βˆ’) :h𝑋 β†’ 𝐴is the unique morphism that sendsid𝑋toπ‘Ž.

The presheaf𝐴is𝖀-locally 1-presentableif it admits an𝖀-local present-ation.

Example. For every object𝑋 in uοΏ½, (𝑋, 𝑋,id𝑋,id𝑋,id𝑋) is an 𝖀-local presentation ofh𝑋.

1.4.7 ΒΆ Let𝐡be a presheaf onuοΏ½ and let(π‘Œ , 𝑏)be an𝖀-local generator of𝐡.

Elements of locally 1-generable presheaves

Lemma. Let(𝑋, π‘Ž)be an element of𝐡. There exist an𝖀-covering morph-ism 𝑝 : ̃𝑋 β†’ 𝑋 in uοΏ½ and a morphism 𝑓 : ̃𝑋 β†’ π‘Œ in uοΏ½ such that 𝑏 β‹… 𝑓 = π‘Ž β‹… 𝑝.

Proof. Straightforward. (Recallremark 1.4.5andparagraph a.2.13.) β§«

Locally 1-generable subpre-sheaves of locally 1-generable presheaves

Corollary. Let𝐴be an𝖀-locally 1-generable subpresheaf of𝐡. There is a morphism𝑓 : ̃𝑋 β†’ π‘Œ inuοΏ½ such that( ̃𝑋, 𝑏 β‹… 𝑓)is an𝖀-local gener-ator of𝐴.

Proof. Let(𝑋, π‘Ž)be an𝖀-local generator of𝐴. Bylemma 1.4.7, we have an𝖀-covering morphism𝑝 : ̃𝑋 β†’ 𝑋inuοΏ½and a morphism𝑓 : ̃𝑋 β†’ π‘Œ in uοΏ½ such that𝑏 β‹… 𝑓 = π‘Ž β‹… 𝑝. On the other hand,( ̃𝑋, π‘Ž β‹… 𝑝)is also an𝖀-local generator of𝐴: for every𝖀-closed subpresheaf𝐴′ βŠ† 𝐴, ifπ‘Žβ‹…π‘ ∈ 𝐴′( ̃𝑋),

thenπ‘Ž ∈ 𝐴′(𝑋), so𝐴′ = 𝐴. β– 

1.4.8

Local generating sets of locally 1-generable presheaves

Lemma. Let𝐴be an𝖀-locally 1-generable presheaf onuοΏ½. For every 𝖀 -local generating setΞ¦of elements of𝐴, there is (𝑋′, π‘Žβ€²) ∈ Ξ¦such that (𝑋′, π‘Žβ€²)is an𝖀-local generator of𝐴.

Proof. Let (𝑋, π‘Ž)be an 𝖀-local generator of 𝐴. Recalling remark 1.4.5 andparagraph a.2.13, sinceΞ¦is an𝖀-local generating set of elements of 𝐴, there exist an element(𝑋′, π‘Žβ€²) ∈ Ξ¦, an𝖀-covering morphism𝑝 : ̃𝑋 β†’ 𝑋 inuοΏ½, and a morphism𝑓 : ̃𝑋 β†’ 𝑋′inuοΏ½ such thatπ‘Ž β‹… 𝑝 = π‘Žβ€²β‹… 𝑓. Thus, every 𝖀-closed subpresheaf of𝐴 containing(𝑋′, π‘Žβ€²) must also contain (𝑋, π‘Ž), so(𝑋′, π‘Žβ€²)itself is an𝖀-local generator of𝐴. β–  1.4.9 ΒΆ Let𝑋 :uοΏ½ β†’uοΏ½ be a diagram.

Definition. An𝖀-weakly limiting coneon𝑋is a coneπœ† : Ξ” ̃𝑋 β‡’ 𝑋in uοΏ½ with the following property:

β€’ For every object𝑇 inuοΏ½ and every coneπœ‰ : Δ𝑇 β‡’ 𝑋 inuοΏ½, there exist morphisms Μƒπ‘₯ : π‘ˆ β†’ ̃𝑋and𝑑 : π‘ˆ β†’ 𝑇 inuοΏ½ such that𝑑 : π‘ˆ β†’ 𝑇 is an 𝖀-covering morphism inuοΏ½and, for every object𝑗 inuοΏ½,πœ†π‘—βˆ˜ Μƒπ‘₯ = πœ‰π‘—βˆ˜ 𝑑. We will often abuse notation by referring to the object𝑋̃as an𝖀-weak limitof𝑋, omittingπœ†.

Example. Every limiting cone on𝑋 is also an𝖀-weakly limiting cone.

Recognition principle for weak limits

Lemma. Let𝑋̃ be an object inuοΏ½ and let πœ† : Ξ” ̃𝑋 β‡’ 𝑋 be a cone inuοΏ½. The following are equivalent:

(i) πœ† : Ξ” ̃𝑋 β‡’ 𝑋is an𝖀-weakly limiting cone.

(ii) ( ̃𝑋, πœ†)is an𝖀-local generator of the presheaf[uοΏ½,uοΏ½](Ξ”βˆ’, 𝑋).

Proof. Straightforward. β§«

1.4.10 ΒΆ The following is due to Shulman [2012].

Definition. TheShulman conditionon(uοΏ½, 𝖀)is the following:

β€’ Every finite diagram inuοΏ½has a𝖀-weak limit.

1.4. Exact quotients Remark. A (strongly) unary topology in the sense of [Shulman, 2012,

Β§3] is precisely a saturated unary coverage that satisfies the Shulman con-dition.

Proposition. Let𝑋 : uοΏ½ β†’uοΏ½ be a diagram inuοΏ½. Assuming the Shulman condition on(uοΏ½, 𝖀), the presheaflimβ†βˆ’βˆ’uοΏ½ h𝑋is𝖀-locally 1-presentable.

Proof. Bylemma 1.4.9, there is an𝖀-local generator( ̃𝑋, πœ†)oflimβ†βˆ’βˆ’uοΏ½ h𝑋. Let𝑅 =Kr(πœ† β‹… (βˆ’)) βŠ†h𝑋̃×h𝑋̃. It is not hard to see that𝑅is isomorphic to the presheaf of cones over the diagram inuοΏ½ obtained by attaching two copies of the coneπœ†over the given diagram𝑋. Thus, by hypothesis,𝑅is 𝖀-locally 1-generable. Hence,limβ†βˆ’βˆ’uοΏ½ h𝑋is𝖀-locally 1-presentable. β–  1.4.11

Morphisms of locally 1-generable presheaves

Lemma. Letβ„Ž : 𝐴 β†’ 𝐡 be a morphism inPsh(uοΏ½). Given𝖀-local gen-erators (𝑋, π‘Ž)and (π‘Œ , 𝑏) of 𝐴 and 𝐡, respectively, there is an element (𝑇 , (π‘₯, 𝑦)) ofh𝑋× hπ‘Œ such thatπ‘₯ : 𝑇 β†’ 𝑋 is an𝖀-covering morphism inuοΏ½ and𝑏 β‹… 𝑦 = β„Ž(π‘Ž) β‹… π‘₯. In particular, there is a commutative square in Psh(uοΏ½)of the form below,

h𝑇 hπ‘Œ

𝐴 𝐡

π‘Žβ‹…(π‘₯βˆ˜βˆ’)

π‘¦βˆ˜βˆ’

𝑏⋅(βˆ’) β„Ž

where the vertical arrows are𝖀-locally surjective.

Proof. Straightforward. (Recallparagraph a.2.13.) β§« 1.4.12

Pullbacks of morphisms of presheaves with locally 1-presentable codomain

Proposition. Let β„Ž0 : 𝐴0 β†’ 𝐡 and β„Ž1 : 𝐴1 β†’ 𝐡 be morphisms in Psh(uοΏ½). Assuming the Shulman condition on(uοΏ½, 𝖀), if both𝐴0and𝐴1are 𝖀-locally 1-generable and𝐡 is𝖀-locally 1-presentable, thenPb(β„Ž0, β„Ž1) is also𝖀-locally 1-generable.

Proof. Choose any 𝖀-local presentation of𝐡, say (π‘Œ , 𝑄, 𝑏, 𝑑0, 𝑑1). By lemma 1.4.11, there is a commutative diagram in Psh(uοΏ½) of the form below,

h𝑋0 hπ‘Œ h𝑋1

𝐴0 𝐡 𝐴1

π‘Ž0β‹…(βˆ’)

𝑓0βˆ˜βˆ’

𝑏⋅(βˆ’) π‘Ž1β‹…(βˆ’) 𝑓1βˆ˜βˆ’

β„Ž0 β„Ž1

where the vertical arrows are𝖀-locally surjective. We have the following commutative diagrams inPsh(uοΏ½),

𝑅 Pb(β„Ž0, β„Ž1) 𝐡

h𝑋0Γ—h𝑋1 𝐴0Γ— 𝐴1 𝐡 Γ— 𝐡

Δ𝐡

(𝑓0βˆ˜βˆ’)Γ—(𝑓1βˆ˜βˆ’) (π‘β‹…βˆ’)Γ—(π‘β‹…βˆ’)

where every square is a pullback square inPsh(uοΏ½); in particular, 𝑅 =Pb(β„Ž0∘ (π‘Ž0β‹… βˆ’), β„Ž1∘ (π‘Ž1β‹… βˆ’)) = Pb(𝑏 β‹… (𝑓0∘ βˆ’), 𝑏 β‹… (𝑓1∘ βˆ’)) as subpresheaves of h𝑋0 Γ— h𝑋1. Note that 𝑅 β†  Pb(β„Ž0, β„Ž1) is𝖀-locally surjective, by proposition a.2.14. By definition, we have an 𝖀-locally surjective morphism h𝑄 β†’ Kr(𝑏 β‹… βˆ’) in Psh(uοΏ½), so there is a pullback square inPsh(uοΏ½)of the form below,

̃𝑅 h𝑄

𝑅 Kr(𝑏 β‹… βˆ’)

where ̃𝑅 β†  𝑅 is 𝖀-locally surjective. On the other hand, the pullback pasting lemma implies that ̃𝑅is (isomorphic to) the limit of the following diagram inPsh(uοΏ½),

h𝑋1

h𝑄 hπ‘Œ

h𝑋0 hπ‘Œ

𝑓1βˆ˜βˆ’

𝑑1βˆ˜βˆ’

𝑑0βˆ˜βˆ’

𝑓0βˆ˜βˆ’

so bylemma 1.4.9, the Shulman condition on (uοΏ½, 𝖀)implies that ̃𝑅is 𝖀-locally 1-generable. But the composite ̃𝑅 β†  𝑅 β† Pb(β„Ž0, β„Ž1)is𝖀-locally surjective, soPb(β„Ž0, β„Ž1)is also𝖀-locally 1-generable. β–

(ii)β‡’(i). Choose any 𝖀-local generator of𝐴, say(𝑋, π‘Ž). We have the following commutative diagram inPsh(uοΏ½),

h𝑋 𝐴 𝐡

π‘Žβ‹…βˆ’

β„Ž

π‘Žβ‹…βˆ’ β„Ž

where every square is a pullback square inPsh(uοΏ½). Sinceh𝑋 andKr(β„Ž) are both𝖀-locally 1-generable and𝐴is𝖀-locally 1-presentable,𝑅0must also be 𝖀-locally 1-generable. But we also have a pullback square in Psh(uοΏ½)of the form below,

soKr(β„Ž(π‘Ž) β‹… βˆ’)has an𝖀-local generator, say(𝑄, (π‘₯0, π‘₯1)). It follows that (𝑋, 𝑄, β„Ž(π‘Ž), π‘₯1, π‘₯0)is an𝖀-local presentation of𝐡. β–  1.4.15 ΒΆ Let𝐴and𝐡 be presheaves onuοΏ½.

Proposition. Assuming the Shulman condition on(uοΏ½, 𝖀), if both𝐴and 𝐡 are𝖀-locally 1-generable, then𝐴 Γ— 𝐡is also𝖀-locally 1-generable.

Proof. Let (𝑋, π‘Ž)and(π‘Œ , 𝑏) be𝖀-local generators of𝐴and 𝐡, respect-ively. Then, byproposition a.2.14, (π‘Ž β‹… βˆ’) Γ— (𝑏 β‹… βˆ’) : h𝑋 Γ—hπ‘Œ β†’ 𝐴 Γ— 𝐡 is𝖀-locally surjective.

Limits of diagrams of locally 1-presentable presheaves

Theorem. The following are equivalent:

(ii) The full submetacategory of Psh(uοΏ½) spanned by the 𝖀-locally 1-presentable presheaves onuοΏ½ is closed under limit of finite diagrams.

Proof. (i)β‡’(ii). The terminal presheaf onuοΏ½ is𝖀-locally 1-presentable (proposition 1.4.10), and the the product of two 𝖀-locally 1-presentable presheaves on uοΏ½ is 𝖀-locally 1-presentable (proposition 1.4.15(b)), so it suffices to verify that the equaliser of a parallel pair of morphisms between 𝖀-locally 1-presentable presheaves onuοΏ½ is 𝖀-locally 1-presentable. But this is a consequence ofproposition 1.4.12andlemma 1.4.13, so we are done.

where uοΏ½βˆ•π‘Œ β†’ uοΏ½ and El(𝐴) β†’ uοΏ½ are the respective projections. Let (𝑋, π‘Ž) = 𝑠(𝑋, 𝑓). Then π‘Ž β‹… 𝑑0 = π‘Ž β‹… 𝑑1, so there is a uniqueπ‘Žβ€² ∈ 𝐴(π‘Œ ) such that π‘Žβ€²β‹… 𝑓 = π‘Ž.

If the outer square is an𝖀-weak pullback square inuοΏ½and both𝑓0: 𝑋0 β†  π‘Œ0 and 𝑓1 : 𝑋1 β†  π‘Œ1 are 𝖀-covering morphisms in uοΏ½, then the inner square is also an𝖀-weak pullback square inuοΏ½.

1.4. Exact quotients Proof. Consider a commutative square inuοΏ½ of the form below:

𝑇 π‘Œ1

π‘Œ0 𝑍

𝑦′0 𝑦′1

Byremark 1.4.5andproposition 1.4.5, there is a commutative diagram in uοΏ½ of the form below,

Exact forks and pullbacks

Lemma. Consider a diagram inuοΏ½ of the form below,

𝑋1 𝑋0 𝑋̄

𝑓1

𝑑0 𝑑1

𝑓0 𝑝

̄𝑓 𝑑0

where:

β€’ The top row is an𝖀-exact fork inuοΏ½.

β€’ The bottom row is a left-exact fork inuοΏ½.

β€’ The two parallel squares on the left are pullback squares inuοΏ½.

β€’ The square on the right commutes.

Then (𝑓0, 𝑝) β‹… (βˆ’) : h𝑋0 β†’ Pb(π‘ž ∘ βˆ’, ̄𝑓 ∘ βˆ’) is an 𝖀-locally bijective morphism inPsh(uοΏ½). In particular, if𝖀is a subcanonical unary coverage onuοΏ½, then the right square is a pullback square inuοΏ½.

Proof. We have the following commutative diagram inuοΏ½,

𝑋1 π‘Œ1 π‘Œ0

𝑋0 π‘Œ0 Μ„π‘Œ

𝑑1

𝑓1 𝑑1

𝑑0 π‘ž

𝑓0 π‘ž

where both squares are pullback squares inuοΏ½. Thus, by the pullback past-ing lemma, in the commutative diagram inuοΏ½ shown below,

𝑋1 𝑋0 π‘Œ0

𝑋0 𝑋̄ Μ„π‘Œ

𝑑1

𝑑0 𝑝

𝑓0 π‘ž

𝑝 𝑓̄

the outer rectangle is a pullback diagram inuοΏ½. Hence, bylemma 1.4.19(a), the right square is an𝖀-weak pullback square inuοΏ½, so(𝑓0, 𝑝)β‹…(βˆ’) :h𝑋0 β†’ Pb(π‘ž ∘ βˆ’, ̄𝑓 ∘ βˆ’)is𝖀-locally surjective, bylemma 1.4.9.

We will now show that (𝑓0, 𝑝) β‹… (βˆ’) : h𝑋0 β†’ Pb(π‘ž ∘ βˆ’, ̄𝑓 ∘ βˆ’) is a monomorphism in Psh(uοΏ½). Let 𝑇 be an object in uοΏ½ and let π‘₯0,0, π‘₯0,1 : 𝑇 β†’ 𝑋0be a parallel pair of morphisms inuοΏ½ such that:

𝑝 ∘ π‘₯0,0= 𝑝 ∘ π‘₯0,1 𝑓0∘ π‘₯0,0= 𝑓0∘ π‘₯0,1 We then have a unique morphismπ‘₯1: 𝑇 β†’ 𝑋1such that:

𝑑1∘ π‘₯1 = π‘₯0,0 𝑑0∘ π‘₯1 = π‘₯0,1 On the other hand,

𝑑1∘ 𝑓1∘ π‘₯1= 𝑓0∘ π‘₯0,0 𝑑0∘ 𝑓1∘ π‘₯1= 𝑓0∘ π‘₯0,1

and (by the pullback pasting lemma) we have the following pullback square inuοΏ½,

𝑋0 𝑋1

π‘Œ0 π‘Œ1

Δ𝑝

𝑓1 Ξ”π‘ž

where the horizontal arrows are the respective relative diagonals, soπ‘₯0,0 = π‘₯0,1, as claimed.

1.4. Exact quotients Thus,(𝑓0, 𝑝)β‹…(βˆ’) :h𝑋0 β†’Pb(π‘ž ∘ βˆ’, ̄𝑓 ∘ βˆ’)is indeed𝖀-locally biject-ive. To complete the proof, observe that if𝖀is a subcanonical unary cov-erage onuοΏ½, then bothh𝑋0 andPb(π‘ž ∘ βˆ’, ̄𝑓 ∘ βˆ’)are𝖀-sheaves onuοΏ½, so, in that case, byproposition a.3.7, (𝑓0, 𝑝) β‹… (βˆ’) : h𝑋0 β†’Pb(π‘ž ∘ βˆ’, ̄𝑓 ∘ βˆ’)is

Covering morph-isms and pull-back squares

Lemma. Consider a commutative diagram inuοΏ½of the form below,

Μƒπ‘Š π‘Š π‘Œ

̃𝑋 𝑋 𝑍

̃𝑝

𝑀 𝑝

π‘ž 𝑔

π‘₯ 𝑓

where:

β€’ Both𝑀 : Μƒπ‘Š β†  π‘Š andπ‘₯ : ̃𝑋 β†  𝑋 are𝖀-covering morphisms inuοΏ½.

β€’ Both the left square and outer rectangle are pullback diagrams inuοΏ½. Then(𝑝, π‘ž)β‹…(βˆ’) : hπ‘Š β†’Pb(𝑓 ∘ βˆ’, 𝑔 ∘ βˆ’)is a𝖀-locally bijective morphism inPsh(uοΏ½). In particular, if𝖀is a subcanonical unary coverage onuοΏ½, then the right square is a pullback square inuοΏ½.

Proof. Bylemma 1.4.19(a), the right square is an𝖀-weak pullback square in uοΏ½, so (𝑝, π‘ž) β‹… (βˆ’) : hπ‘Š β†’ Pb(𝑓 ∘ βˆ’, 𝑔 ∘ βˆ’)is 𝖀-locally surjective, by lemma 1.4.9.

We will now show that(𝑝, π‘ž)β‹…(βˆ’) :hπ‘Š β†’Pb(𝑓 ∘ βˆ’, 𝑔 ∘ βˆ’)is𝖀-locally injective. Let𝑇 be an object inuοΏ½ and let𝑀0, 𝑀1 : 𝑇 β†’ π‘Š be a parallel pair of morphisms inuοΏ½such that:

𝑝 ∘ 𝑀0 = 𝑝 ∘ 𝑀1 π‘ž ∘ 𝑀0= π‘ž ∘ 𝑀1

Sinceπ‘₯ : ̃𝑋 β†  𝑋is an𝖀-covering morphism inuοΏ½, there is a commutative square inuοΏ½ of the form below,

̃𝑇 𝑇

̃𝑋 𝑋

Μƒπ‘₯

𝑑

π‘βˆ˜π‘€0 π‘₯

where𝑑 : ̃𝑇 β†  𝑇 is also an𝖀-covering morphism inuοΏ½. Thus, there exist unique morphisms ̃𝑀0, ̃𝑀1 : ̃𝑇 β†’ Μƒπ‘Š such that:

̃𝑝 ∘ ̃𝑀0 = Μƒπ‘₯ 𝑀 ∘ ̃𝑀0 = 𝑀0∘ 𝑑

̃𝑝 ∘ ̃𝑀1 = Μƒπ‘₯ 𝑀 ∘ ̃𝑀1 = 𝑀1∘ 𝑑

But⟨ ̃𝑝 ∘ βˆ’, π‘ž ∘ 𝑀 ∘ βˆ’βŸ© :hπ‘ŠΜƒ β†’h𝑋̃×hπ‘Œ is a monomorphism, so ̃𝑀0= ̃𝑀1, and therefore𝑀0∘ 𝑑 = 𝑀1∘ 𝑑.

Thus,(𝑝, π‘ž)β‹…(βˆ’) :hπ‘Š β†’Pb(𝑓 ∘ βˆ’, 𝑔 ∘ βˆ’)is indeed𝖀-locally bijective.

To complete the proof, observe that if𝖀is a subcanonical unary coverage onuοΏ½, then bothhπ‘Š andPb(𝑓 ∘ βˆ’, 𝑔 ∘ βˆ’)are 𝖀-sheaves on uοΏ½, so by pro-position a.3.7,(𝑝, π‘ž) β‹… (βˆ’) : hπ‘Š β†’Pb(𝑓 ∘ βˆ’, 𝑔 ∘ βˆ’)is an isomorphism in

that case. β–

β€’ 𝑑0and𝑑1are morphisms𝑃 β†’ 𝑋 inuοΏ½.

β€’ The𝖀-closed support of⟨h𝑑1,h𝑑0⟩ : h𝑃 β†’ h𝑋 Γ—h𝑋 defines an equi-valence relation onh𝑋.

Recognition principle for local complexes

Lemma. Let 𝑑0, 𝑑1 : 𝑃 β†’ 𝑋 be a parallel pair of morphisms in uοΏ½. AssuminguοΏ½ has𝖀-weak pullback squares, the following are equivalent:

(i) (𝑋, 𝑃 , 𝑑0, 𝑑1)is an𝖀-local complex.

(ii) All of the following conditions are satisfied:

β€’ There exist an𝖀-covering morphismπ‘₯ : ̃𝑋 β†  𝑋inuοΏ½and a morph-ism𝑝 : ̃𝑋 β†’ 𝑃 inuοΏ½ such that𝑑0∘ 𝑝 = π‘₯and𝑑1∘ 𝑝 = π‘₯.

β€’ There exist𝖀-covering morphisms𝑝0: ̃𝑃 β†  𝑃 and𝑝1 : ̃𝑃 β†’ 𝑃 in uοΏ½ such that𝑑0∘ 𝑝0 = 𝑑1∘ 𝑝1and𝑑1∘ 𝑝0 = 𝑑0∘ 𝑝1.

β€’ There is an𝖀-weak pullback square inuοΏ½ of the form below,

𝑄 𝑃

and there exist an 𝖀-covering morphism π‘ž : ̃𝑄 β†  𝑄in uοΏ½ and a morphism 𝑝 : ̃𝑄 β†’ 𝑃 in uοΏ½ such that 𝑑0 ∘ 𝑝 = 𝑑0 ∘ 𝑑0 ∘ π‘ž and 𝑑1∘ 𝑝 = 𝑑1∘ 𝑑2∘ π‘ž.

Proof. Straightforward. β§«

1.4.22 ΒΆ Let(𝑋, 𝑃 , 𝑑0, 𝑑1)be an𝖀-local complex.

Definition. The𝖀-sheafpresented by(𝑋, 𝑃 , 𝑑0, 𝑑1)is the𝖀-sheaf com-pletion[1]of the quotient presheaf h𝑋/𝑅 where𝑅is the𝖀-closed support ofβŸ¨π‘‘1, 𝑑0⟩ :h𝑃 β†’h𝑋×h𝑋.

Then(𝑋, 𝑃 , π‘Ž, 𝑑0, 𝑑1)is an𝖀-local presentation of𝑄(𝑋, 𝑃, 𝑑0, 𝑑1). Proof. By lemmasa.3.3anda.3.6,𝑅 =Kr(π‘Ž β‹… βˆ’), so(𝑋, 𝑃 , π‘Ž, 𝑑0, 𝑑1)is indeed an𝖀-local presentation of𝑄(𝑋, 𝑃, 𝑑0, 𝑑1). β– 

[1] Recallproposition a.3.8(d).

1.4.23 Definition. The exact completion of (uοΏ½, 𝖀) is the category Ex(uοΏ½, 𝖀) defined as follows:

β€’ The objects are the𝖀-local complexes inuοΏ½.

β€’ The morphisms (𝑋, 𝑃 , 𝑑0, 𝑑1) β†’ (π‘Œ , 𝑄, 𝑒0, 𝑒1) are the morphisms 𝑄(𝑋, 𝑃, 𝑑0, 𝑑1) β†’ 𝑄(π‘Œ , 𝑄, 𝑒0, 𝑒1)inSh(uοΏ½, 𝖀).

β€’ Composition and identities are inherited fromSh(uοΏ½, 𝖀).

Theinsertion functorπœ„ :uοΏ½ β†’Ex(uοΏ½, 𝖀)is the evident functor that sends each object𝑋 inuοΏ½ to the𝖀-local complex(𝑋, 𝑋,id𝑋,id𝑋).

Remark. In view of lemmas1.4.14and 1.4.22, the evident functor𝑄 : Ex(uοΏ½, 𝖀) β†’ Sh(uοΏ½, 𝖀)is fully faithful and essentially surjective onto the full subcategory of𝖀-locally 1-presentable𝖀-sheaves onuοΏ½.

The exact completion is an exact category

Proposition. If(uοΏ½, 𝖀)satisfies the Shulman condition, then:

(i) Ex(uοΏ½, 𝖀)is an exact category.

(ii) The insertion functorπœ„ :uοΏ½ β†’Ex(uοΏ½, 𝖀)preserves limits of finite dia-grams and sends𝖀-covering morphisms inuοΏ½to effective epimorphisms inEx(uοΏ½, 𝖀).

Proof. (i). By theorem 1.4.16, Ex(uοΏ½, 𝖀) has limits of finite diagrams.

Moreover,lemma 1.4.14andtheorem a.3.9imply that every equivalence relation inEx(uοΏ½, 𝖀)is a kernel pair and that the class of regular epimorph-isms inEx(uοΏ½, 𝖀)is quadrable. Thus,Ex(uοΏ½, 𝖀)is indeed an exact category.

(ii). The preservation of limits of finite diagrams is a consequence of theorem a.3.9. For the remainder of the claim, apply lemmas a.2.18 and a.3.10 to the fact that the Yoneda embedding uοΏ½ β†’ Psh(uοΏ½) sends 𝖀-covering morphisms inuοΏ½to𝖀-locally surjective morphisms inPsh(uοΏ½).

1.4.24 ΒΆ LetuοΏ½be a category, let𝖩be a unary coverage onuοΏ½, and assume both (uοΏ½, 𝖀)and(uοΏ½, 𝖩)satisfy the Shulman condition.

1.4. Exact quotients Definition. An admissible functor 𝐹 : (uοΏ½, 𝖀) β†’ (uοΏ½, 𝖩)is a functor 𝐹 :uοΏ½ β†’uοΏ½with the following properties:

β€’ 𝐹 : (uοΏ½, 𝖀) β†’ (uοΏ½, 𝖩)is a pre-admissible functor.

β€’ For every 𝖀-locally 1-presentable 𝖀-sheaf 𝐴 on uοΏ½, there exist a 𝖩-locally 1-presentable 𝖩-sheaf 𝐹!𝐴 on uοΏ½ and a morphism 𝜎𝐴 : 𝐴 β†’ πΉβˆ—πΉ!𝐴inSh(uοΏ½, 𝖀)such that, for every𝖩-locally 1-presentable𝖩-sheaf 𝐡onuοΏ½, the following is a bijection:

HomSh(uοΏ½,𝖩)(𝐹!𝐴, 𝐡) β†’HomSh(uοΏ½,𝖀)(𝐴, πΉβˆ—π΅) β„Ž ↦ πΉβˆ—β„Ž ∘ 𝜎𝐴

The functor between exact completions induced by an admiss-ible functor

Lemma. Let𝐹 : (uοΏ½, 𝖀) β†’ (uοΏ½, 𝖩)be an admissible functor. Assuming𝖀is a subcanonical unary coverage onuοΏ½:

(i) There exist a functor ̄𝐹 :Ex(uοΏ½, 𝖀) β†’ Ex(uοΏ½, 𝖩)and an isomorphism πœ‚ : πœ„πΉ β‡’ Μ„πΉπœ„of functorsuοΏ½ β†’Ex(uοΏ½, 𝖩)such that ̄𝐹 sends right-exact forks inEx(uοΏ½, 𝖀)to coequaliser diagrams inEx(uοΏ½, 𝖩).

(ii) Moreover, any such( ̄𝐹, πœ‚)is a pointwise left Kan extension ofπœ„πΉ : uοΏ½ β†’Ex(uοΏ½, 𝖩)alongπœ„ :uοΏ½ β†’Ex(uοΏ½, 𝖀).

Proof. By proposition a.3.13, the restriction functor πΉβˆ— : Sh(uοΏ½, 𝖩) β†’ Sh(uοΏ½, 𝖀) has a left adjoint, say 𝐹! : Sh(uοΏ½, 𝖀) β†’ Sh(uοΏ½, 𝖩). Moreover, for every object𝐴inEx(uοΏ½, 𝖀), there exist an object ̄𝐹𝐴inEx(uοΏ½, 𝖩)and an isomorphism πœ„βˆ—h ̄𝐹𝐴 β‰… 𝐹!h𝐴 inSh(uοΏ½, 𝖩). This defines a functor ̄𝐹 : Ex(uοΏ½, 𝖀) β†’ Ex(uοΏ½, 𝖩).

By definition, we have the a natural bijection of the form below:

HomEx(uοΏ½,𝖩)( ̄𝐹𝐴, 𝐡) β‰…HomSh(uοΏ½,𝖀)(πœ„βˆ—h𝐴, πΉβˆ—πœ„βˆ—h𝐡)

In particular, taking𝐴 = πœ„π‘‹and applying the Yoneda lemma, the functor πœ„ :uοΏ½ β†’Ex(uοΏ½, 𝖀)induces a natural map

HomEx(uοΏ½,𝖩)( Μ„πΉπœ„π‘‹, 𝐡) β†’HomEx(uοΏ½,𝖩)(πœ„πΉπ‘‹, 𝐡)

and hence a natural transformationπœ‚ : πœ„πΉ β‡’ Μ„πΉπœ„. The pair( ̄𝐹, πœ‚)is then a pointwise left Kan extension of πœ„πΉ : uοΏ½ β†’ Ex(uοΏ½, 𝖩) along πœ„ : uοΏ½ β†’

Ex(uοΏ½, 𝖀). Furthermore, because πœ„ : uοΏ½ β†’ Ex(uοΏ½, 𝖀)is fully faithful, πœ‚ : πœ„πΉ β‡’ Μ„πΉπœ„is an isomorphism.

Since the Yoneda representationEx(uοΏ½, 𝖀) β†’Sh(uοΏ½, 𝖩)preserves right-exact forks, ̄𝐹 :Ex(uοΏ½, 𝖀) β†’Ex(uοΏ½, 𝖩)sends right-exact forks inEx(uοΏ½, 𝖀) to coequaliser diagrams inEx(uοΏ½, 𝖩). It is clear that any pair( ̄𝐹, πœ‚)as in (i) is determined (up to isomorphism) by Μ„πΉπœ„ :uοΏ½ β†’Ex(uοΏ½, 𝖩), so any such ( ̄𝐹, πœ‚)must be a pointwise left Kan extension as constructed above. β–  Remark. We will later see a converse to the above result, i.e. that the restriction of an appropriate functor between the exact completions is admissible.

1.4.25 ΒΆ Assume(uοΏ½, 𝖀)satisfies the Shulman condition. LetuοΏ½ be an exact cat-egory, letπ–ͺbe the class of effective epimorphisms inuοΏ½, and let𝐹 :uοΏ½ β†’uοΏ½

be a functor with the following properties.

β€’ 𝐹 :uοΏ½ β†’uοΏ½ sends𝖀-local complexes inuοΏ½toπ–ͺ-local complexes inuοΏ½.

β€’ 𝐹 :uοΏ½ β†’uοΏ½ sends right-𝖀-exact forks inuοΏ½ to right-π–ͺ-exact forks inuοΏ½. Example. If uοΏ½ has limits of finite diagrams and𝐹 :uοΏ½ β†’ uοΏ½ is a functor that preserves limits of finite diagrams and sends members of𝖀to effective epimorphisms inuοΏ½, then𝐹 :uοΏ½ β†’uοΏ½ has the above properties.

Lemma. Under the above hypotheses,𝐹 : (uοΏ½, 𝖀) β†’ (uοΏ½, π–ͺ)is an admiss-ible functor.

Proof. Recalling lemma 1.4.18, it is not hard to see that𝐹 : (uοΏ½, 𝖀) β†’ (uοΏ½, π–ͺ) is a pre-admissible functor. Thus, by proposition a.3.13, πΉβˆ— : Sh(uοΏ½, π–ͺ) β†’ Sh(uοΏ½, 𝖀) has a left adjoint, say𝐹! : Sh(uοΏ½, 𝖀) β†’ Sh(uοΏ½, π–ͺ).

The Yoneda embedding uοΏ½ β†’ Sh(uοΏ½, π–ͺ) preserves right-exact forks, and 𝐹! : Sh(uοΏ½, 𝖀) β†’ Sh(uοΏ½, π–ͺ) preserves coequalisers, so for every 𝖀-local complex (𝑋, 𝑃 , 𝑑0, 𝑑1) in uοΏ½, 𝐹! : Sh(uοΏ½, 𝖀) β†’ Sh(uοΏ½, π–ͺ) sends the 𝖀-sheaf presented by (𝑋, 𝑃 , 𝑑0, 𝑑1) to a representable π–ͺ-sheaf on uοΏ½, as

required. β–
