Classifying Spaces and Classifying Topoi (Lecture Notes in Mathematics)

Publisher: Springer | ISBN: 3540603190 | edition 2009 | PDF | 94 pages | 3,58 mb

This monograph presents a new, systematic treatment of the relation between classifying topoi and classifying spaces of topological categories. Using a new generalized geometric realization which applies to topoi, a weak homotopy equivalence is constructed between the classifying space and the classifying topos of any small (topological) category. Topos theory is then applied to give an answer to the question of what structures are classified by "classifying" spaces. The monograph should be accessible to anyone with basic knowledge of algebraic topology, sheaf theory, and a little topos theory.
