1.4. Exact quotients Remark. In other words, an equivalence relation onπis a representation of some equivalence relation onhπ.
1.4.2(b) Definition. Anexact quotientof an equivalence relation(π , π0, π1)on π in uοΏ½ is a quadrable morphism π : π β Μπ in uοΏ½ with the following properties:
β’ The following is a pullback square inuοΏ½:
π π
π πΜ
π1 π0
π π
β’ Every pullback ofπ : π β Μπ 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 π€ β moruοΏ½ with the following properties:
β’ For every objectπinuοΏ½,id: π β π is a member ofπ€.
β’ For every morphismπ : π β π inuοΏ½ and every morphismπ¦ : π β π in uοΏ½, if π¦ : π β π is a member of π€, then there is a commutative diagram inuοΏ½ of the form below,
π π
π π
π₯ π¦
π
whereπ₯ : π β π is also a member ofπ€.
1.4.3(b) Definition. A unary coverage π€ on uοΏ½ is upward-closed if it has the following property:
β’ Given morphismsπ : π β π andπ : π β πinuοΏ½, ifπ β π : π β π is a member ofπ€, thenπ : π β π is also a member ofπ€.
Remark. Ifπ€is an upward-closed unary coverage, then:
(i) Every split epimorphism inuοΏ½is a member ofπ€.
(ii) The full subcategory of (uοΏ½βuοΏ½) spanned by the members of π€ is replete.
1.4.3(c) Definition. A unary coverageπ€onuοΏ½issaturatedif it has the following property:

π π
π π
π₯ π¦
π
if bothπ₯ : π β π andπ : π β π are members ofπ€, thenπ¦ : π β π is also a member ofπ€.
Example. If uοΏ½ is a category with pullbacks andπ€is the class of univer-sally strict epimorphisms inuοΏ½, thenπ€is 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 π€ is a unary coverage onuοΏ½. Abusing notation, we will conflateπ€with the associated coverage onuοΏ½.
1.4.5 Remark. Recallingparagraph a.2.13,π : π β π is aπ€-covering morph-ism in uοΏ½ if and only if there is a morphism π₯ : π β π in uοΏ½ such that π β π₯ : π β π is a composite of some finite (composable) sequence of members ofπ€.
Recognition principles for saturated unary coverages
Lemma. Letπ€be a unary coverage onuοΏ½. The following are equivalent:
(i) π€is saturated.
(ii) π€is upward-closed and closed under composition.
(iii) Everyπ€-covering morphism inuοΏ½ is a member ofπ€.

1.4.6 ΒΆ Letπ΄be a presheaf onuοΏ½.
1.4.6(a) Definition. Anπ€-local generatorofπ΄is an element(π, π)ofπ΄such that{(π, π)}is anπ€-local generating set of elements ofπ΄.
The presheafπ΄isπ€-locally 1-generableif it has anπ€-local generator.
1.4.6(b) Definition. Anπ€-local presentationofπ΄is tuple(π, π , π, π0, π1)with the following properties:
β’ (π, π)is anπ€-local generator ofπ΄.
β’ (π , (π1, π0))is anπ€-local generator of the kernel relationKr(π β (β)), whereπ β (β) :hπ β π΄is the unique morphism that sendsidπtoπ.
The presheafπ΄isπ€-locally 1-presentableif it admits anπ€-local present-ation.
Example. For every objectπ in uοΏ½, (π, π,idπ,idπ,idπ) is an π€-local presentation ofhπ.
1.4.7 ΒΆ Letπ΅be a presheaf onuοΏ½ and let(π , π)be anπ€-local generator ofπ΅.
Elements of locally 1-generable presheaves
Lemma. Let(π, π)be an element ofπ΅. There exist anπ€-covering morph-ism π : Μπ β π in uοΏ½ and a morphism π : Μπ β π in uοΏ½ such that π β π = π β π.
Proof. Straightforward. (Recallremark 1.4.5andparagraph a.2.13.) β§«
Locally 1-generable subpre-sheaves of locally 1-generable presheaves
Corollary. Letπ΄be anπ€-locally 1-generable subpresheaf ofπ΅. There is a morphismπ : Μπ β π inuοΏ½ such that( Μπ, π β π)is anπ€-local gener-ator ofπ΄.
Proof. Let(π, π)be anπ€-local generator ofπ΄. Bylemma 1.4.7, we have anπ€-covering morphismπ : Μπ β πinuοΏ½and a morphismπ : Μπ β π in uοΏ½ such thatπ β π = π β π. On the other hand,( Μπ, π β π)is also anπ€-local generator ofπ΄: for everyπ€-closed subpresheafπ΄β² β π΄, ifπβ π β π΄β²( Μπ),
thenπ β π΄β²(π), soπ΄β² = π΄. β
1.4.8
Local generating sets of locally 1-generable presheaves
Lemma. Letπ΄be anπ€-locally 1-generable presheaf onuοΏ½. For every π€ -local generating setΞ¦of elements ofπ΄, there is (πβ², πβ²) β Ξ¦such that (πβ², πβ²)is anπ€-local generator ofπ΄.
Proof. Let (π, π)be an π€-local generator of π΄. Recalling remark 1.4.5 andparagraph a.2.13, sinceΞ¦is anπ€-local generating set of elements of π΄, there exist an element(πβ², πβ²) β Ξ¦, anπ€-covering morphismπ : Μπ β π inuοΏ½, and a morphismπ : Μπ β πβ²inuοΏ½ such thatπ β π = πβ²β π. Thus, every π€-closed subpresheaf ofπ΄ containing(πβ², πβ²) must also contain (π, π), so(πβ², πβ²)itself is anπ€-local generator ofπ΄. β 1.4.9 ΒΆ Letπ :uοΏ½ βuοΏ½ be a diagram.
Definition. Anπ€-weakly limiting coneonπis a coneπ : Ξ Μπ β πin uοΏ½ with the following property:
β’ For every objectπ inuοΏ½ and every coneπ : Ξπ β π inuοΏ½, there exist morphisms Μπ₯ : π β Μπandπ‘ : π β π inuοΏ½ such thatπ‘ : π β π is an π€-covering morphism inuοΏ½and, for every objectπ inuοΏ½,ππβ Μπ₯ = ππβ π‘. We will often abuse notation by referring to the objectπΜas anπ€-weak limitofπ, omittingπ.
Example. Every limiting cone onπ is also anπ€-weakly limiting cone.
Recognition principle for weak limits
Lemma. LetπΜ be an object inuοΏ½ and let π : Ξ Μπ β π be a cone inuοΏ½. The following are equivalent:
(i) π : Ξ Μπ β πis anπ€-weakly limiting cone.
(ii) ( Μπ, π)is anπ€-local generator of the presheaf[uοΏ½,uοΏ½](Ξβ, π).
Proof. Straightforward. β§«
1.4.10 ΒΆ The following is due to Shulman [2012].
Definition. TheShulman conditionon(uοΏ½, π€)is the following:
β’ Every finite diagram inuοΏ½has aπ€-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. Letπ : uοΏ½ βuοΏ½ be a diagram inuοΏ½. Assuming the Shulman condition on(uοΏ½, π€), the presheaflimβββuοΏ½ hπisπ€-locally 1-presentable.
Proof. Bylemma 1.4.9, there is anπ€-local generator( Μπ, π)oflimβββuοΏ½ hπ. Letπ =Kr(π β (β)) βhπΜΓhπΜ. It is not hard to see thatπ is isomorphic to the presheaf of cones over the diagram inuοΏ½ obtained by attaching two copies of the coneπover the given diagramπ. Thus, by hypothesis,π is π€-locally 1-generable. Hence,limβββuοΏ½ hπisπ€-locally 1-presentable. β 1.4.11
Morphisms of locally 1-generable presheaves
Lemma. Letβ : π΄ β π΅ be a morphism inPsh(uοΏ½). Givenπ€-local gen-erators (π, π)and (π , π) of π΄ and π΅, respectively, there is an element (π , (π₯, π¦)) ofhπΓ hπ such thatπ₯ : π β π is anπ€-covering morphism inuοΏ½ andπ β π¦ = β(π) β π₯. In particular, there is a commutative square in Psh(uοΏ½)of the form below,
hπ hπ
π΄ π΅
πβ (π₯ββ)
π¦ββ
πβ (β) β
where the vertical arrows areπ€-locally surjective.
Proof. Straightforward. (Recallparagraph a.2.13.) β§« 1.4.12
Pullbacks of morphisms of presheaves with locally 1-presentable codomain
Proposition. Let β0 : π΄0 β π΅ and β1 : π΄1 β π΅ be morphisms in Psh(uοΏ½). Assuming the Shulman condition on(uοΏ½, π€), if bothπ΄0andπ΄1are π€-locally 1-generable andπ΅ isπ€-locally 1-presentable, thenPb(β0, β1) is alsoπ€-locally 1-generable.
Proof. Choose any π€-local presentation ofπ΅, say (π , π, π, π0, π1). By lemma 1.4.11, there is a commutative diagram in Psh(uοΏ½) of the form below,
hπ0 hπ hπ1
π΄0 π΅ π΄1
π0β (β)
π0ββ
πβ (β) π1β (β) π1ββ
β0 β1
where the vertical arrows areπ€-locally surjective. We have the following commutative diagrams inPsh(uοΏ½),
π Pb(β0, β1) π΅
hπ0Γhπ1 π΄0Γ π΄1 π΅ Γ π΅
Ξπ΅
(π0β β)Γ(π1β β) β0Γβ1
π Kr(π β β) π΅
hπ0Γhπ1 hπ Γhπ π΅ Γ π΅
Ξπ΅
(π0ββ)Γ(π1ββ) (πβ β)Γ(πβ β)
where every square is a pullback square inPsh(uοΏ½); in particular, π =Pb(β0β (π0β β), β1β (π1β β)) = Pb(π β (π0β β), π β (π1β β)) as subpresheaves of hπ0 Γ hπ1. Note that π β Pb(β0, β1) isπ€-locally surjective, by proposition a.2.14. By definition, we have an π€-locally surjective morphism hπ β Kr(π β β) in Psh(uοΏ½), so there is a pullback square inPsh(uοΏ½)of the form below,
Μπ hπ
π Kr(π β β)
where Μπ β π is π€-locally surjective. On the other hand, the pullback pasting lemma implies that Μπ is (isomorphic to) the limit of the following diagram inPsh(uοΏ½),
hπ1
hπ hπ
hπ0 hπ
π1ββ
π1ββ
π0ββ
π0ββ
so bylemma 1.4.9, the Shulman condition on (uοΏ½, π€)implies that Μπ is π€-locally 1-generable. But the composite Μπ β π β Pb(β0, β1)isπ€-locally surjective, soPb(β0, β1)is alsoπ€-locally 1-generable. β

Generators of locally 1-presentable presheaves
Corollary. Letπ΄be a presheaf onuοΏ½ and let(π, π)be an element ofπ΄. Assuming the Shulman condition on(uοΏ½, π€), the following are equivalent:
(i) π΄is anπ€-locally 1-presentable presheaf onuοΏ½ and(π, π)is anπ€ -local generator ofπ΄.
(ii) There is an element(π , π0, π1)ofhπΓhπsuch that(π, π , π, π0, π1) is anπ€-local presentation ofπ΄.
Proof. This is a special case ofproposition 1.4.12. β 1.4.13
Recognition prin-ciple for locally 1-presentable subpresheaves
Lemma. Let π΅ be an π€-locally 1-presentable presheaf on uοΏ½ and let π΄ be a subpresheaf of π΅. Assuming the Shulman condition on(uοΏ½, π€), the following are equivalent:
(i) π΄is anπ€-locally 1-presentable presheaf onuοΏ½. (ii) π΄is anπ€-locally 1-generable presheaf onuοΏ½. Proof. (i)β(ii). Immediate.
(ii)β(i). Choose anyπ€-local generator ofπ΄, say(π, π). We must show thatKr(π β β) isπ€-locally 1-generable. But we have the following pull-back square inPsh(uοΏ½),

Quotients of locally 1-presentable presheaves
Lemma. Letβ : π΄ β π΅be anπ€-locally surjective morphism inPsh(uοΏ½). Assuming the Shulman condition on(uοΏ½, π€), ifπ΄isπ€-locally 1-presentable, then the following are equivalent:
(i) π΅ is anπ€-locally 1-presentable presheaf onuοΏ½. (ii) Kr(β)is anπ€-locally 1-generable presheaf onuοΏ½. Proof. (i)β(ii). This is a special case ofproposition 1.4.12.
(ii)β(i). Choose any π€-local generator ofπ΄, say(π, π). We have the following commutative diagram inPsh(uοΏ½),

π 0 Kr(β) π΄
hπ π΄ π΅
πβ β
β
πβ β β
where every square is a pullback square inPsh(uοΏ½). Sincehπ andKr(β) are bothπ€-locally 1-generable andπ΄isπ€-locally 1-presentable,π 0must also be π€-locally 1-generable. But we also have a pullback square in Psh(uοΏ½)of the form below,
Kr(β(π) β β) hπ
π 0 π΄
πβ β
soKr(β(π) β β)has anπ€-local generator, say(π, (π₯0, π₯1)). It follows that (π, π, β(π), π₯1, π₯0)is anπ€-local presentation ofπ΅. β 1.4.15 ΒΆ Letπ΄andπ΅ be presheaves onuοΏ½.

Products of locally 1-generable presheaves
Proposition. Assuming the Shulman condition on(uοΏ½, π€), if bothπ΄and π΅ areπ€-locally 1-generable, thenπ΄ Γ π΅is alsoπ€-locally 1-generable.
Proof. Let (π, π)and(π , π) beπ€-local generators ofπ΄and π΅, respect-ively. Then, byproposition a.2.14, (π β β) Γ (π β β) : hπ Γhπ β π΄ Γ π΅ isπ€-locally surjective. Butlemma 1.4.9implies thathπΓhπ isπ€-locally 1-generable, so it follows thatπ΄ Γ π΅is alsoπ€-locally 1-generable. β 1.4.15(b)

Proof. Let (π, π)and(π , π) beπ€-local generators ofπ΄and π΅, respect-ively. By corollary 1.4.12, both Kr(π β β)andKr(π β β)are π€-locally 1-generable. Letβ = (π β β) Γ (π β β) :hπΓhπ β π΄ Γ π΅. Clearly,Kr(β) β 48
1.4. Exact quotients Kr(π β β) ΓKr(π β β), so by proposition 1.4.15(a), Kr(β) is π€-locally 1-generable. Butproposition a.2.14implies thatβ : hπ Γhπ β π΄ Γ π΅is π€-locally surjective, and byproposition 1.4.10, hπ Γ hπ isπ€-locally 1-presentable, so we may applylemma 1.4.14to deduce thatπ΄ Γ π΅is also
π€-locally 1-presentable. β

Limits of diagrams of locally 1-presentable presheaves
Theorem. The following are equivalent:
(i) (uοΏ½, π€)satisfies the Shulman condition.
(ii) The full submetacategory of Psh(uοΏ½) spanned by the π€-locally 1-presentable presheaves onuοΏ½ is closed under limit of finite diagrams.
Proof. (i)β(ii). The terminal presheaf onuοΏ½ isπ€-locally 1-presentable (proposition 1.4.10), and the the product of two π€-locally 1-presentable presheaves on uοΏ½ is π€-locally 1-presentable (proposition 1.4.15(b)), so it suο¬ces to verify that the equaliser of a parallel pair of morphisms between π€-locally 1-presentable presheaves onuοΏ½ is π€-locally 1-presentable. But this is a consequence ofproposition 1.4.12andlemma 1.4.13, so we are done.

1.4. Exact quotients Lemma. Letπ΄be a presheaf onuοΏ½. Assuming(uοΏ½, π€)satisfies the Shulman condition, the following are equivalent:
(i) π΄is anπ€-sheaf onuοΏ½.
(ii) π΄ : uοΏ½op β Set sends right-π€-exact forks in uοΏ½ to equaliser dia-grams inSet.
(iii) For every right-π€-exact fork inuοΏ½of the form below,

ifπ : π β π is a member ofπ€, then the following is an equaliser diagram inSet:

π π0 π π

π
Letπ β π΄(π) and supposeπ β π0 = π β π1. We wish to find πβ² β π΄(π ) such thatπβ²β π = π. Sinceπ΄satisfies the sheaf condition with respect to the principal sieveββ¨πβ©, such an elementπβ²is necessarily unique because
β β π : π΄(π ) β π΄(π)is injective. On the other hand, bylemma a.2.6, suchπβ²exists ifπhas the following property:
β’ For every element(π , (π₯0, π₯1))ofhπΓhπ, ifπ β π₯0 = π β π₯1, then π β π₯0= π β π₯1.
However, given an element(π , (π₯0, π₯1))ofhπ Γhπ, ifπ β π₯0= π β π₯1, there exist an π€-covering morphism π‘ : π β π in uοΏ½ and a morphism π : π β π inuοΏ½ such that the following diagrams inuοΏ½ commute,
π π
π π
π‘ π
π1 π₯0
π π

so(π β π₯0) β π‘ = (π β π₯1) β π‘. Sinceβ β π‘ : π΄(π ) β π΄(π)is also injective, the claim follows.
(ii)β(iii). Immediate.
(iii) β (i). Let π : π β π be a member of π€. We must show that π΄ satisfies the sheaf condition with respect to the principal sieve ββ¨πβ©.
Since(uοΏ½, π€)satisfies the Shulman condition, there is a rightπ€-exact fork inuοΏ½of the form below:

where uοΏ½βπ β uοΏ½ and El(π΄) β uοΏ½ are the respective projections. Let (π, π) = π (π, π). Then π β π0 = π β π1, so there is a uniqueπβ² β π΄(π ) such that πβ²β π = π.

where:
β’ The top row is anπ€-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 (π0, π) β (β) : hπ0 β Pb(π β β, Μπ β β) is an π€-locally bijective morphism inPsh(uοΏ½). In particular, ifπ€is a subcanonical unary coverage onuοΏ½, then the right square is a pullback square inuοΏ½.
Proof. We have the following commutative diagram inuοΏ½,
π1 π1 π0
π0 π0 Μπ
π1
π1 π1
π0 π
π0 π
where both squares are pullback squares inuοΏ½. Thus, by the pullback past-ing lemma, in the commutative diagram inuοΏ½ shown below,
π1 π0 π0
π0 πΜ Μπ
π1
π0 π
π0 π
π πΜ
the outer rectangle is a pullback diagram inuοΏ½. Hence, bylemma 1.4.19(a), the right square is anπ€-weak pullback square inuοΏ½, so(π0, π)β (β) :hπ0 β Pb(π β β, Μπ β β)isπ€-locally surjective, bylemma 1.4.9.
We will now show that (π0, π) β (β) : hπ0 β Pb(π β β, Μπ β β) is a monomorphism in Psh(uοΏ½). Let π be an object in uοΏ½ and let π₯0,0, π₯0,1 : π β π0be a parallel pair of morphisms inuοΏ½ such that:
π β π₯0,0= π β π₯0,1 π0β π₯0,0= π0β π₯0,1 We then have a unique morphismπ₯1: π β π1such that:
π1β π₯1 = π₯0,0 π0β π₯1 = π₯0,1 On the other hand,
π1β π1β π₯1= π0β π₯0,0 π0β π1β π₯1= π0β π₯0,1
and (by the pullback pasting lemma) we have the following pullback square inuοΏ½,
π0 π1

π1 Ξπ
where the horizontal arrows are the respective relative diagonals, soπ₯0,0 = π₯0,1, as claimed.

1.4. Exact quotients Thus,(π0, π)β (β) :hπ0 βPb(π β β, Μπ β β)is indeedπ€-locally biject-ive. To complete the proof, observe that ifπ€is a subcanonical unary cov-erage onuοΏ½, then bothhπ0 andPb(π β β, Μπ β β)areπ€-sheaves onuοΏ½, so, in that case, byproposition a.3.7, (π0, π) β (β) : hπ0 βPb(π β β, Μπ β β)is

where:
β’ Bothπ€ : Μπ β π andπ₯ : Μπ β π areπ€-covering morphisms inuοΏ½.
β’ Both the left square and outer rectangle are pullback diagrams inuοΏ½. Then(π, π)β (β) : hπ βPb(π β β, π β β)is aπ€-locally bijective morphism inPsh(uοΏ½). In particular, ifπ€is a subcanonical unary coverage onuοΏ½, then the right square is a pullback square inuοΏ½.
Proof. Bylemma 1.4.19(a), the right square is anπ€-weak pullback square in uοΏ½, so (π, π) β (β) : hπ β Pb(π β β, π β β)is π€-locally surjective, by lemma 1.4.9.
We will now show that(π, π)β (β) :hπ βPb(π β β, π β β)isπ€-locally injective. Letπ be an object inuοΏ½ and letπ€0, π€1 : π β π be a parallel pair of morphisms inuοΏ½such that:
π β π€0 = π β π€1 π β π€0= π β π€1
Sinceπ₯ : Μπ β πis anπ€-covering morphism inuοΏ½, there is a commutative square inuοΏ½ of the form below,
Μπ π
Μπ π
Μπ₯
π‘
πβπ€0 π₯
whereπ‘ : Μπ β π is also anπ€-covering morphism inuοΏ½. Thus, there exist unique morphisms Μπ€0, Μπ€1 : Μπ β Μπ such that:
Μπ β Μπ€0 = Μπ₯ π€ β Μπ€0 = π€0β π‘
Μπ β Μπ€1 = Μπ₯ π€ β Μπ€1 = π€1β π‘
Butβ¨ Μπ β β, π β π€ β ββ© :hπΜ βhπΜΓhπ is a monomorphism, so Μπ€0= Μπ€1, and thereforeπ€0β π‘ = π€1β π‘.
Thus,(π, π)β (β) :hπ βPb(π β β, π β β)is indeedπ€-locally bijective.
To complete the proof, observe that ifπ€is a subcanonical unary coverage onuοΏ½, then bothhπ andPb(π β β, π β β)are π€-sheaves on uοΏ½, so by pro-position a.3.7,(π, π) β (β) : hπ βPb(π β β, π β β)is an isomorphism in
that case. β
1.4.20 Definition. Anexact categoryis a regular categoryuοΏ½ with the follow-ing additional data:
β’ For each object π inuοΏ½ and each equivalence relation (π , π0, π1)on π, an exact quotientπ : π β Μπ of(π , π0, π1)inuοΏ½.
Remark. In other words, an exact category is a regular category in which every equivalence relation is a kernel pair. (Recallremark 1.3.8.)
1.4.21 Definition. Anπ€-local complexinuοΏ½ is a tuple(π, π , π0, π1)where:
β’ πandπ are objects inuοΏ½.
β’ π0andπ1are morphismsπ β π inuοΏ½.
β’ Theπ€-closed support ofβ¨hπ1,hπ0β© : hπ β hπ Γhπ defines an equi-valence relation onhπ.
Example. Letπ be an object inuοΏ½. Then(π, π,idπ,idπ) is anπ€-local complex inuοΏ½, bylemma a.3.4.

Recognition principle for local complexes
Lemma. Let π0, π1 : π β π be a parallel pair of morphisms in uοΏ½. AssuminguοΏ½ hasπ€-weak pullback squares, the following are equivalent:
(i) (π, π , π0, π1)is anπ€-local complex.
(ii) All of the following conditions are satisfied:
β’ There exist anπ€-covering morphismπ₯ : Μπ β πinuοΏ½and a morph-ismπ : Μπ β π inuοΏ½ such thatπ0β π = π₯andπ1β π = π₯.
β’ There existπ€-covering morphismsπ0: Μπ β π andπ1 : Μπ β π in uοΏ½ such thatπ0β π0 = π1β π1andπ1β π0 = π0β π1.
β’ There is anπ€-weak pullback square inuοΏ½ of the form below,

and there exist an π€-covering morphism π : Μπ β πin uοΏ½ and a morphism π : Μπ β π in uοΏ½ such that π0 β π = π0 β π0 β π and π1β π = π1β π2β π.
Proof. Straightforward. β§«
1.4.22 ΒΆ Let(π, π , π0, π1)be anπ€-local complex.
Definition. Theπ€-sheafpresented by(π, π , π0, π1)is theπ€-sheaf com-pletion[1]of the quotient presheaf hπ/π whereπ is theπ€-closed support ofβ¨π1, π0β© :hπ βhπΓhπ.
The sheaf presented by a local complex
Lemma. Letπ(π, π, π0, π1) be theπ€-sheaf presented by(π, π , π0, π1) and letπbe the image of the universal element(π,idπ)inπ(π, π, π0, π1). Then(π, π , π, π0, π1)is anπ€-local presentation ofπ(π, π, π0, π1). Proof. By lemmasa.3.3anda.3.6,π =Kr(π β β), so(π, π , π, π0, π1)is indeed anπ€-local presentation ofπ(π, π, π0, π1). β
[1] Recallproposition a.3.8(d).
1.4.23 Definition. The exact completion of (uοΏ½, π€) is the category Ex(uοΏ½, π€) defined as follows:
β’ The objects are theπ€-local complexes inuοΏ½.
β’ The morphisms (π, π , π0, π1) β (π , π, π0, π1) are the morphisms π(π, π, π0, π1) β π(π , π, π0, π1)inSh(uοΏ½, π€).
β’ Composition and identities are inherited fromSh(uοΏ½, π€).
Theinsertion functorπ :uοΏ½ βEx(uοΏ½, π€)is the evident functor that sends each objectπ inuοΏ½ to theπ€-local complex(π, π,idπ,idπ).
Remark. In view of lemmas1.4.14and 1.4.22, the evident functorπ : Ex(uοΏ½, π€) β Sh(uοΏ½, π€)is fully faithful and essentially surjective onto the full subcategory ofπ€-locally 1-presentableπ€-sheaves onuοΏ½.
The exact completion is an exact category
Proposition. If(uοΏ½, π€)satisfies the Shulman condition, then:
(i) Ex(uοΏ½, π€)is an exact category.
(ii) The insertion functorπ :uοΏ½ βEx(uοΏ½, π€)preserves limits of finite dia-grams and sendsπ€-covering morphisms inuοΏ½to effective epimorphisms inEx(uοΏ½, π€).
Proof. (i). By theorem 1.4.16, Ex(uοΏ½, π€) has limits of finite diagrams.
Moreover,lemma 1.4.14andtheorem a.3.9imply that every equivalence relation inEx(uοΏ½, π€)is a kernel pair and that the class of regular epimorph-isms inEx(uοΏ½, π€)is quadrable. Thus,Ex(uοΏ½, π€)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 π€-covering morphisms inuοΏ½toπ€-locally surjective morphisms inPsh(uοΏ½).

1.4. Exact quotients Definition. An admissible functor πΉ : (uοΏ½, π€) β (uοΏ½, π©)is a functor πΉ :uοΏ½ βuοΏ½with the following properties:
β’ πΉ : (uοΏ½, π€) β (uοΏ½, π©)is a pre-admissible functor.
β’ For every π€-locally 1-presentable π€-sheaf π΄ on uοΏ½, there exist a π©-locally 1-presentable π©-sheaf πΉ!π΄ on uοΏ½ and a morphism ππ΄ : π΄ β πΉβπΉ!π΄inSh(uοΏ½, π€)such that, for everyπ©-locally 1-presentableπ©-sheaf π΅onuοΏ½, the following is a bijection:
HomSh(uοΏ½,π©)(πΉ!π΄, π΅) βHomSh(uοΏ½,π€)(π΄, πΉβπ΅) β β¦ πΉββ β ππ΄
The functor between exact completions induced by an admiss-ible functor
Lemma. LetπΉ : (uοΏ½, π€) β (uοΏ½, π©)be an admissible functor. Assumingπ€is a subcanonical unary coverage onuοΏ½:
(i) There exist a functor ΜπΉ :Ex(uοΏ½, π€) β Ex(uοΏ½, π©)and an isomorphism π : ππΉ β ΜπΉπof functorsuοΏ½ βEx(uοΏ½, π©)such that ΜπΉ sends right-exact forks inEx(uοΏ½, π€)to coequaliser diagrams inEx(uοΏ½, π©).
(ii) Moreover, any such( ΜπΉ, π)is a pointwise left Kan extension ofππΉ : uοΏ½ βEx(uοΏ½, π©)alongπ :uοΏ½ βEx(uοΏ½, π€).
Proof. By proposition a.3.13, the restriction functor πΉβ : Sh(uοΏ½, π©) β Sh(uοΏ½, π€) has a left adjoint, say πΉ! : Sh(uοΏ½, π€) β Sh(uοΏ½, π©). Moreover, for every objectπ΄inEx(uοΏ½, π€), there exist an object ΜπΉπ΄inEx(uοΏ½, π©)and an isomorphism πβh ΜπΉπ΄ β πΉ!hπ΄ inSh(uοΏ½, π©). This defines a functor ΜπΉ : Ex(uοΏ½, π€) β Ex(uοΏ½, π©).
By definition, we have the a natural bijection of the form below:
HomEx(uοΏ½,π©)( ΜπΉπ΄, π΅) β HomSh(uοΏ½,π€)(πβhπ΄, πΉβπβhπ΅)
In particular, takingπ΄ = ππand applying the Yoneda lemma, the functor π :uοΏ½ βEx(uοΏ½, π€)induces a natural map
HomEx(uοΏ½,π©)( ΜπΉππ, π΅) βHomEx(uοΏ½,π©)(ππΉπ, π΅)
and hence a natural transformationπ : ππΉ β ΜπΉπ. The pair( ΜπΉ, π)is then a pointwise left Kan extension of ππΉ : uοΏ½ β Ex(uοΏ½, π©) along π : uοΏ½ β
Ex(uοΏ½, π€). Furthermore, because π : uοΏ½ β Ex(uοΏ½, π€)is fully faithful, π : ππΉ β ΜπΉπis an isomorphism.
Since the Yoneda representationEx(uοΏ½, π€) βSh(uοΏ½, π©)preserves right-exact forks, ΜπΉ :Ex(uοΏ½, π€) βEx(uοΏ½, π©)sends right-exact forks inEx(uοΏ½, π€) to coequaliser diagrams inEx(uοΏ½, π©). It is clear that any pair( ΜπΉ, π)as in (i) is determined (up to isomorphism) by ΜπΉπ :uοΏ½ βEx(uοΏ½, π©), so any such ( ΜπΉ, π)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, π€)satisfies the Shulman condition. LetuοΏ½ be an exact cat-egory, letπͺbe the class of effective epimorphisms inuοΏ½, and letπΉ :uοΏ½ βuοΏ½
be a functor with the following properties.
β’ πΉ :uοΏ½ βuοΏ½ sendsπ€-local complexes inuοΏ½toπͺ-local complexes inuοΏ½.
β’ πΉ :uοΏ½ βuοΏ½ sends right-π€-exact forks inuοΏ½ to right-πͺ-exact forks inuοΏ½. Example. If uοΏ½ has limits of finite diagrams andπΉ :uοΏ½ β uοΏ½ is a functor that preserves limits of finite diagrams and sends members ofπ€to effective epimorphisms inuοΏ½, thenπΉ :uοΏ½ βuοΏ½ has the above properties.
Lemma. Under the above hypotheses,πΉ : (uοΏ½, π€) β (uοΏ½, πͺ)is an admiss-ible functor.
Proof. Recalling lemma 1.4.18, it is not hard to see thatπΉ : (uοΏ½, π€) β (uοΏ½, πͺ) is a pre-admissible functor. Thus, by proposition a.3.13, πΉβ : Sh(uοΏ½, πͺ) β Sh(uοΏ½, π€) has a left adjoint, sayπΉ! : Sh(uοΏ½, π€) β Sh(uοΏ½, πͺ).
The Yoneda embedding uοΏ½ β Sh(uοΏ½, πͺ) preserves right-exact forks, and πΉ! : Sh(uοΏ½, π€) β Sh(uοΏ½, πͺ) preserves coequalisers, so for every π€-local complex (π, π , π0, π1) in uοΏ½, πΉ! : Sh(uοΏ½, π€) β Sh(uοΏ½, πͺ) sends the π€-sheaf presented by (π, π , π0, π1) to a representable πͺ-sheaf on uοΏ½, as
required. β
