Sheaf semantics A <strong>non</strong>-principal ultrafilter A <strong><strong>for</strong>cing</strong> <strong>model</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>non</strong>-<strong>standard</strong> <strong>arithmetic</strong> Open questions<br />

Topos-theoretic perspective, continued<br />

A presheaf is a sheaf (relative to a coverage Cov) if it satisfies:<br />

Sheaf axiom<br />

For every S ∈ Cov(p) and family of elements {xq ∈ X (q) : q ∈ S}<br />

that is compatible (i.e. satisfies p ≤ q ∈ S ⇒ xq · p = xp), there is<br />

a unique element x ∈ X (p) such that x · q = xq <strong>for</strong> all q ∈ S.<br />

Sheaves also <strong>for</strong>m a topos Sh(P, Cov). The internal logic of<br />

categories of sheaves is precisely covering semantics. The internal<br />

logic of Sh(P, ¬¬) is classical <strong><strong>for</strong>cing</strong>.<br />
