Isotropy and crossed toposes
Theory and applications of categories, Tome 26 (2012), pp. 660-709
Motivated by constructions in the theory of inverse semigroups and etale groupoids, we define and investigate the concept of isotropy from a topos-theoretic perspective. Our main conceptual tool is a monad on the category of grouped toposes. Its algebras correspond to a generalized notion of crossed module, which we call a crossed topos. As an application, we present a topos-theoretic characterization and generalization of the `Clifford, fundamental' sequence associated with an inverse semigroup.
