SOME TOPOLOGICAL FUNCTORS ARISING FROM ALGEBRAIC GEOMETRY

Abstract

A synthesis of notions arising from algebraic geometry, especially those developed by Verdier in Séminaire de Géométric Algébrique IV, and the notion of topological functor (in the sense of G.C.L. Brümmer and R.-E. Hoffmann) is made. In particular, Grothendieck topologies are shown to be topological over the category of categories with pullbacks and pullback preserving functors, and consequences derived.
