In this thesis, I generalize the Lawvere-Tierney result in two directions. Lawvere and Tierney's result relies upon the law of excluded middle and the axiom of choice, and I provide a formulation and proof of the consistency of the negation of the continuum hypothesis which abandons this assumption. Moreover, I generalize the work that's been done on the continuum hypothesis and its consistency from the context of topos theory presented in the Lawvere-Tierney proof to the context of algebraic set theory. Abrege Dans [23]. Lawvere et Tierney ont demontre la compatibilite de la negation de l'hypothese du continu a.vec la theorie des topos qui ressemblent au Set. Dans cette these, j'universalise le resultat de Lawvere-Tierney dans deux directions. Le resultat de Lawvere-Tierney compte sur le principe du tiers exclu et Faxiome du choix. et je fournis une formulation et une demonstration de la consistance de la negation de l'hypothese du continu qui abandonne cette assomption. Aussi, j'universalise tous ces resultats sur l'hypothese du continu et sa consistance de la contexte de la theorie du topos a la contexte de la theorie algebrique des ensembles. 2 Contents 1 Introduction 6 1.1 History 6 1.2 Generalizing the Lawvere-Tierney Result 7 1.3 Outline 9 2 Heyting Pretoposes 11 2.1 Axioms of a Heyting Pretopos 12 2.2 Internal Language of a Heyting Pretopos 15 2.2.1 Kripke-Joyal Semantics 16 2.2.2 Informal Conventions 18 2.3 Elementary Toposes 19 2.3.1 The Topos of Sets 20 2.4 Consistency Proofs 22 2.5 Construction of New Heyting Pretoposes 24 2.5.1 Pretoposes within Set Theory 24 2.5.2 Internal Functor Categories 24 2.5.3 Booleanization 32 2.5.4 Preservation of Nondegeneracy 36 3 Algebraic Set Theory 38 3.1 Motivation for the Notion of Category of Classes 39 3.2 Axiomatic Description of a Category of Classes 40 3 3.3 Cosmological and Insular Categories of Classes 44 3.4 Set Theory in a Cosmological Category of Classes 46 3.5 The Topos of Small Objects 49 3.6 Constructing new Categories of Classes 52 3.6.1 Preservation of (Univ) 55 4 Cardinality 59 4.1 The Cantor-Bernstein Theorem 60 4.2 Mono-cardinality and Epi-cardinality 62 4.3 Internal and External language 63 4.4 Combining Epi- and Mono- Cardinality 65 4.5 Relationship with Excluded Middle and the Axiom of Choice . 67 4.6 Cantor's Theorem 68 4.6.1 A counterexample 70 5 The Continuum Hypothesis 72 5.1 Subquotients and PERs 73 5.2 Formulating (CH) and (NCH) 76 5.3 Different choices for R 77 5.3.1 Real Numbers as Dedekind Cuts 80 5.3.2 Real Numbers as Cauchy Sequences 81 5.4 The Consistency of the Continuum Hypothesis 82 6 The Consistency of (NCHP(N)) 84 6.1 Cohen's Proof 85 6.2 Boolean Toposes with Choice 88 6.3 Connection with Classifying Toposes 91 6.4 Generalization to an Arbitrary Topos 92 6.4.1 Preservation of Cardinal Inequalities 94 6.5 Generalization to Algebraic Set Theory 96 6.5.1 Remarks on the Generality of this Construction 97 4 7 The Consistency of (NCHM) 99 7.1 The Poset P and the map g 100 7.1.1 Definitions of P and g 100 7.1.2 g Factors Through Rm 102 7.1.3 g is Mono 104 7.2 Construction of a Natural-Distinguishable object A 106 7.3 The Case of Rd 107 7.4 Generalization to Algebraic Set Theory 108 8 Consequences and Corollaries 109 8.1 The Diagonal Functor 109 8.2 The Construction for (NCHP(N)) 116 8.2.1 Church's Thesis 117 8.2.2 The Cauchy Reals 119 8.3 The Construction for (CHKJ 119 8.4 Conclusion 122 5 Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 History The continuum hypothesis, or (CH), is one of the oldest undecidable questions of modern set theory. Georg Cantor formulated it originally as a "hypothesis" to either be proved or disproved, although couldn't arrive at either a proof or disproof. In 1939, Godel [8] proved, using his method of "constructible sets", that the continuum hypothesis was consistent with the axioms of standard ZFC set theory. However, it wasn't until 1963 that it was finally proven, by Paul Cohen [6, 7], using a novel method of "forcing", that the negation of the continuum hypothesis, or (NCH), is also consistent with the axioms of ZFC, and thus that the continuum hypothesis is undecidable. The notion of "topos" was originally defined by Grothendieck [l] as part of a project of research into the foundations of algebraic geometry. The notion of "Grothendieck topos" is a sort of "category of sheaves" appropriate for alge­ braic geometry which generalizes the notion of the category of sheaves over a topological space. Lawvere [19, 20] and Tierney soon discovered that a topos in fact captures many of the same properties that are found in the category of sets, and formulated the notion of "elementary topos" to capture all such categories which can form a suitable context for higher-order mathematical 6 constructions. Lawvere and Tierney [23] noticed that, when the universe of sets is replaced with a suitable topos (a Boolean topos with choice), Cohen's "forcing" technique simply becomes an internal version of Grothendieck's sheaf construction. "Forcing"-style consistency proofs become much more elegant in this topos-theoretic context. 30 years later, the question of how to develop set theory in a category- theoretic context was revisited by Joyal and Moerdijk in [15]. They discovered that, in a category with certain structure (known as a "category of classes"), an object V of this category which behaves like the universe of sets can be defined algebraically. This led to the founding of the field of "algebraic set theory". While much of the research in algebraic set theory is focused upon studying the universe-of-sets object V in cases in which the standard set theoretic assump­ tions are substantially weakened, for me, the prime importance of algebraic set theory is that it provides a categorical framework to carry our constructions requiring a stronger set-theoretic structure than topos theory.

  • Some Reasons for Generalizing Domain Theory
    Under consideration for publication in Math. Struct. in Comp. Science Some Reasons for Generalizing Domain Theory Martin Hyland Received 9 October 2009 One natural way to generalize Domain Theory is to replace partially ordered sets by categories. This kind of generalization has recently found application in the study of concurrency. An outline is given of the elegant mathematical foundations which have been developed. This is specialized to give a construction of cartesian closed categories of domains, which throws light on standard presentations of Domain Theory. Introduction This paper is one of what I hope will be a series written in conscious homage to Kreisel’s paper (Kreisel 1971). That paper was prepared for the European Meeting of the ASL in Manchester 1969, was widely aired at the time and was finally published in the pro- ceedings in 1971. It is a survey of the state of Recursion Theory and its generalizations around 1970. At one level it is a remarkable attempt to influence the development of logic, providing concrete proposals and problems as well as more general reflections on future directions. At times, for example in connection with the theory of admissible sets, the discussion foreshadows developments whose significance was only later fully appreciated. At other points, for example in connection with axiomatics, an approach is promoted which has been explored extensively but has in my view been less successful. (It is of course a positive feature that suggestions can even now be regarded as contentious.) However one can read the paper on another level as providing a case study of the value of generalization in a specific area of mathematics.

So, clearly, this must come from: Fan theorem: Every continuous function on Cantor space with values in N is uniformly continuous. The real question is what are the right logical and mathematical principles and what is the right formal system for a proof of this theorem in order to extract the fan functional, more precisely, a purely functional program that computes it? 4 / 36 Brief history of the fan functional Tait introduced the Fan functional in 1963 and showed that it is recursively continuous but not computable by Kleene's schemata S1-S9, thus shattering Kleene's hope that S1-S9 is a universal notion of computation in higher types.

  • Wellfounded Trees and Dependent Polynomial Functors
    Wellfounded Trees and Dependent Polynomial Functors Nicola Gambino? and Martin Hyland Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics University of Cambridge {N.Gambino,M.Hyland}@dpmms.cam.ac.uk Abstract. We set out to study the consequences of the assumption of types of wellfounded trees in dependent type theories. We do so by in- vestigating the categorical notion of wellfounded tree introduced in [16]. Our main result shows that wellfounded trees allow us to define initial algebras for a wide class of endofunctors on locally cartesian closed cat- egories. 1 Introduction Types of wellfounded trees, or W-types, are one of the most important com- ponents of Martin-L¨of’s dependent type theories. First, they allow us to define a wide class of inductive types [5, 15]. Secondly, they play an essential role in the interpretation of constructive set theories in dependent type theories [3]. Finally, from the proof-theoretic point of view, they represent the paradigmatic example of a generalised inductive definition and contribute considerably to the proof-theoretic strength of dependent type theories [8]. In [16] a categorical counterpart of the notion of W-type was introduced. In a locally cartesian closed category, W-types are defined as the initial algebras for endofunctors of a special kind, to which we shall refer here as polynomial functors. The purpose of this paper is to study polynomial endofunctors and W-types more closely. In particular, we set out to explore some of the consequences of the assumption that a locally cartesian closed category has W-types, i.e. that every polynomial endofunctor has an initial algebra.

  • The Category Theoretic Understanding of Universal Algebra: Lawvere Theories and Monads
    The Category Theoretic Understanding of Universal Algebra: Lawvere Theories and Monads Martin Hyland2 Dept of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics University of Cambridge Cambridge, ENGLAND John Power1 ,3 Laboratory for the Foundations of Computer Science University of Edinburgh Edinburgh, SCOTLAND Abstract Lawvere theories and monads have been the two main category theoretic formulations of universal algebra, Lawvere theories arising in 1963 and the connection with monads being established a few years later. Monads, although mathematically the less direct and less malleable formulation, rapidly gained precedence. A generation later, the definition of monad began to appear extensively in theoretical computer science in order to model computational effects, without reference to universal algebra. But since then, the relevance of universal algebra to computational effects has been recognised, leading to renewed prominence of the notion of Lawvere theory, now in a computational setting. This development has formed a major part of Gordon Plotkin’s mature work, and we study its history here, in particular asking why Lawvere theories were eclipsed by monads in the 1960’s, and how the renewed interest in them in a computer science setting might develop in future. Keywords: Universal algebra, Lawvere theory, monad, computational effect. 1 Introduction There have been two main category theoretic formulations of universal algebra. The earlier was by Bill Lawvere in his doctoral thesis in 1963 [23]. Nowadays, his central construct is usually called a Lawvere theory, more prosaically a single-sorted finite product theory [2,3]. It is a more flexible version of the universal algebraist’s notion 1 This work is supported by EPSRC grant GR/586372/01: A Theory of Effects for Programming Languages.
