1 The
categories Qual+
andual-
Let
f :
X - Y be a map. We will write(PX, C )
for the set of subsets ofX ordered with inclusion. Let us recall that we have the
following
functors(between
ordered sets(see [5]))
where 3f
isleft-adjoint
tof *;
this fact will bewritten 3f-l f *,
or in adiagram
Therefore,
for each A E PX and B EPY,
we have:We call a
pair (X, X),
where X EPPX=def p2X,
aqualification
space;X is called the
support
of thespace, x
itsqualification,
the elements of X itspoints
and those of X itsqualities.
One shall say that a E X hasquality
A E X when a E A.
A
mapping
between thesupports
of twoqualification
spacesf :
X - Yis said to be
open when i.e.
continuous when i.e.
The reader should convince
himself,
if necessary, that(3f)*
and(3(f*))
arein
general
differentmappings.
Thisterminology "open"
and "continuous"comes from
topology (see example 1,
section6).
We write
Qual+ (resp. ual- )
thecategories
ofqualification
spaces and open maps(resp. continuous) f : (X, X)
->(Y, Y),
wheref :
X -> Y isa
morphism
inEns,
thecategory
of sets andmappings.
For aqualification
space
(X, X),
let us setS(X, X)= X,
which determines two functorsS+ : Oual+ -t
Ens and S- :Qual- -t
Ens( "S"
for"Support").
For any setX,
we define two
qualification
spacesand which define four functors
and we have the four natural
bijections
so that:
Proposition
1 We have thefollowing adjunctions:
Proposition
2S+ and S -
arefinal
and initial structurefunctors. Therefore,
a
functor
G inQuall
has a limit A(resp.
a colimitA) if
andonly if S+
o Ghas a limit
L,
and thenS+(A)=
L. Inparticular, Qual+
andual-
arecomplete
andco-complete.
Proposition
3 Inual+, (0, 0) is
an initialobject,
and(1, {0,1})
is afinal
one. In
ual-, (0, {0})
is an initialobject,
and(1, 0)
is afinal
one. More-over,
(0,0)
and(0, {0})
areisomorphic
neither inQual+
nor inQual-.
Proposition
4 Let(X, X)
and(Y, y)
be twoqualification
spaces, px and py theprojections from
X x Y onto X andY,
andix
andiy
the canonicalinjections from
X and Y into X + Y .1. The
product of
these two spaces inQual+
iswith 2. The
product of
these two spaces inual-
iswith 3. The sum
of
these two spacesin Qual+
iswith
4.
The sumof
these two spaces inual-
iswith
Proposition
5Qual+ is
cartesianclosed,
butual-, ual+°p, Qual-°p
are not.
Indeed:
Case of Qual+:
If(Y, Y)
and(Z, Z)
are twoqualification
spaces, let us setwhere
ZY
is the set of allmappings
from Y toZ,
and whereZY
is thequalification
onYZ
suchthat,
U EZY,
for a U CYZ,
if andonly
if theevaluation map
is open from
(U, I U 1)
x+(Y, y) def (U
xY, {U}x+y)
to(Z, Z),
that is to say,if and
only
ifThis determines an endofunctor
(-) (Y,-y)
of thecategory ual+, right-adjoint
to
(-)
x+(Y, y); therefore, Qual+
is cartesian closed.Case of Qual- :
Thiscategory
is not cartesianclosed ; indeed,
the endofunc- tor(-)
x-(Y,y)
does not commute with finite sums, and thus cannot be aleft-adjoint.
Case of
Qual- op :
Thiscategory
is not cartesian closed because we would thenhave,
for(Y, Y)
and(Z, Z),
aqualification
space(T,7)
such thatBut,
the left-hand side isgenerally infinite,
-while theright-hand
side hasexactly
one element.Case of
Qual+op:
The sameargument
as forQual-oP applies here,
with2 Stone’s
monadicity
Given
f :
X - Y(in Ens),
we writefop:
Y -> X(in Ens°P)
for thecorresponding morphism
inEns°p,
and we write C : Ens°P - Ens for the contravariant "Power Set" functor defined as CX = PX andCfop= f*.
In other
words, through
the naturalbijection PX=Ens(X,2),
where 2 ={0, I},
we have C =Ens(-, 2).
We write C°P : Ens -> Ens°p the functor defined as Cop X = PX andC°p f
=f*op1.
For any set
X,
let us setThen q ;
IdEns
-> Ccop is a natural transformation. For anymapping
u : X -
PY,
letrd :
Y - PX :y-> {x:y
Erx}.
We then haver =
C((rd)op)nx= (rd)*nx
and a naturalbijection
Ens(X, CY)
=Ens(X, PY) ~-> Ens(Y, PX)
=Ens°P(C°PX, Y)
r H
rd
Thus we have the
adjunction
Cop l- C[n]:
Therefore,
we recover a monad(triple)
II =(TI,
n,03BC)
over Ens whereIt is a classical result that the
comparison
functor from Ens°P to thiscategory
of
algebras EnsII
is anequivalence
ofcategories;
this is the so called "Stone’81 We shall enlighten the notation as follows: when no ambiguity may arise, we write g = f *
instead of
Cfop
=f*,
or C°P f = f*op.monadicity" (see [7]
and[8]
for the source of theseideas).
We also say thatthe
functor
C isalgebraic (or tripleable) up to
within anequivalence
overEns.
Since we
already
have theadjunction
cop r- C[n],
it follows from BECK’Scriteria,
that thealgebraicity (up
to within anequivalence)
isalways equiv-

3 Final
liftings
of Stone’smonadicity
A functor U : C -> D is said to be
cofibring
or afinal-arrow functor
inD, if,
for eachobject
C of C and each arrowf :
UC -> D inD,
there exists aunique f :
C --7 D inC,
such that(1) U f
=f
and(2)
forall g :
C - E andall h : D -> UE with h .
f
=Ug,
there exists aunique h with h . f
= g andUh
= h. The arrow7
is called cocartesian arrow orfinal
arrows overf .
Thenif D has
coequalizers,
C has alsocoequalizers:
ifB u->->v
C isgiven
inC,
itsUu
coequalizer
isf
wheref
is acoequalizer (in D)
ofUB->->
UC .Uv
Proposition
6 Let us have thefollowing
commutativediagram of functors :
where
K’
is afunctor satisfying
theB-condition.
Let us suppose
that SA and Sx
arefinal-arrow functors
andthat, for
anyarrow
f :
C -> D inA, f
is afinal epimorphism if
andonly if K f :
KC -KD in X is a
final epimorphism.
Then the
functor
Ksatisfies
theB-condition. Moreover, if
K has also aleft-adjoint,
K isalgebraic
up to anequivalence.
This is true inparticular if K’
is the contravariant Power Setfunctor C, of
which wealready
know(see
section
2)
that itfulfills
theB-condition.
Indeed,
ifX p->->
Y is aK-splittable pair,
that is apair
for which there isq a
split
forkthen
SAX ->->
SAPS Y
is aK -splittable pair,
which therefore admits a co--Aq
equalizer SAY a-> Q
and thecorresponding
final arrow a is acoequaliz-
er of
Xp->->Y. Then, given Xp->->Y
K-scindable and u : Y ->K,
q q
u is a
coequalizer
if andonly
if u is final andSAu
is acoequalizer
ofSAX ->->SAY,
SAP and then u is anepimorphism,
which isequivalent

final andK’SAu =BSvKtt being

ofSXKX->->SXKY,

equivalent
to Kbeing

andS x Ku being
a

[4]
and[2],
theimportance
in SetTheory (considered
from thepoint
ofview of
Algebraic
Universes(see [4]
forreferences))
is underlinedby
what wemay call the
pulsative
structure of the power set construction. This structure isgiven through
thedata,
for each setX,
of the monotonous functionstogether
with the data of the functors 3 and( )* (i. e. C ) given
in section 1 and section 2. We have theadjunctions :
and with the inclusion
Moreover, through
thebijections
these
adjunctions
are seen to be"conjugate",
i.e. nx = vex’,Ox

Themapping f :

for all AE X,
there exists aBA

such that which means that for anyB’
we have theequivalence:
But
f*B’ nA=0
isequivalent
toB’nfA=0;
thisequivalence
meanstherefore that
BA
=f(A). Hence,
thecontinuity
off *
amounts tof (A) E Y
for all A
E X,
which is the veryexpression
thatf
is open.For each

inual-,
we setC (X, X) = (C°PX, X),
whereTherefore we have :

9 Let(X, X) -=-t (Y, Y)
be inual+,
and(CY, V)f-> (CX, X)
be the
image of fop through a
inQual-.
Thenf
is an initialinjection if
and
only if f *
is afinal surjection.
Indeed, f
is initial if andonly
ifon the other
hand, "f*
is final" may be writtenthat is:
Let us suppose first that
f
is an initialinjection.
To check(2),
i.e. toproduce
an A from agiven B,
we first observe that for anyB’
we havef *B’ = f *(B’ n
1mf),
so that B is such that for anyB’
the conditionB’ n B = 0
isequivalent
to(B’(n Im f) n B = 0,
whichimplies
that B CIm f .
Let us set A =
f *B;
sincef
isinjective
and B C Imf , (Bf)A
=(Bf)f*B
=B E y,
andtherefore, f being initial,
it follows that A E X.Then,
forany A’
EPX, A’nA= 0
isequivalent
to((3f)A’)nB=0 (since f
isinjective), which,
from thehypothesis,
isequivalent
tof*3fA’
EA;
and sincef*3fA’ = A’ (once
more becausef
isinjective),
this isfinally equivalent
toA’
E A.Moreover, f *
issurjective
becausef
isinjective.
Let us suppose next that
f *
is a finalsurjection. Then,
sincef *
issurjec- tive, f
isinjective.
To check(1),
weapply (2)
toFrom
(2),
there is anA1
E X such that for allA’
EX, A’nA1=0
isequivalent
to the existence of aB’
E PY withB’ n3fA5=0 and A’= f*B’.
But
B’nfA=0
isequivalent
tof*B’nA=0,
i.e.A’nA= 0.
Sincef
isinjective,
for allA’
wehave A’
=f*3fA’,
and thusA’nA1=0
isfinally equivalent
toA’ nA = 0,
whichimplies
A =A1
E X .We know from
Proposition
2 thatS+
are final and initial structure func- tors. Inparticular, S+op
is a final structurefunctor,
and S- andS+op
areinitial arrow functors
(see
section3).
We also know(see
Section2)
that Csatisfies the
¡3-condition,
and(see Proposition
6 and7)
that we have a functorC such that
C S+°p
= S- C .Finally, Proposition
9 tells us that C satisfies thegiven
condition for K inproposition 6;
thisproposition
6 tells us therefore that C satisfies theB-condition.
Since moreover(see Proposition 8)
C has aleft-adjoint C ,
itfollows from BECK’S criteria mentionned in section 2 that:
Proposition
10 Thefunctor
C :Qual+op-> Qual-is algebraic up to
anequivalence.
Proposition
11 Let(X,X) -> (Y,y) be in ual-
and letbe the
image of fop through (Cop)op
inual+ .
Thenf
is an initialinjection if
andonly if f *
is afinal surjection.
Indeed
f
is initial if andonly
ifand
f *
is final may be written:that is:
Let us first suppose that
f
is a finalinjective
arrow. To check(4) above,
let
A
be such thatU A
= A E X.Then,
from(3),
A =f *B
for a certainBey.
Foreach A’E A,
letB’= 3f AC 3f A
CB,
and letWe have
U y’
=B,
and sincef
isinjective,
so thatf*3fA’
=A’,
we haveA = {f*B’; B’
Ey’}. Finally,
theinjectivity
off implies
thesurjectivity
off*
Let us now suppose that
f *
is a finalsurjective
arrow.Then,
sincef *
issurjective, f
isinjective.
To check(1),
let then A E X and let us setThen
U A
= AE X,
andtherefore,
from(4),
we havea y’
such thatU y’
=B E y and A={f*B’ B’ E y’}. We have
Using
the samearguments
as inproposition
10 we obtain:Proposition

Duality
of andDefinition Let T =
(T, q, p)
be a monad over acategory
B(to
beshort,
wesay that the
pair (B, T) is
amonad). Let BT
be thecategory of algebras
overT and
FT -l UT
be the universalpair of adjoints
such that T =UT. FT.
Let G =
(G,E, 8)
be the comonad overBT
associated with G =F T. UT .
This comonad
over BT defines
a monad over(BT)op,
which we write G°P =(Gop, Eop, 8op).
We setWe shall say that the monad
(B, T)*
is the dualof (B, T)
and that it is reflexive whencanonically (B, T)**= (B, T) . (The terminology
"reflexive"is
by analogy
withduality
in linearalgebr a) .
Of course,
reflexive
means thatFT
is comonadic. In[1],
the cases where Bis the
category
ofsets,
thecategory
ofpointed
sets or thecategory
of vectorspaces over a fixed commutative field K are
explicitely
described.However,
the
emphasis
here is on theoperator (-)*.
In
particular, (B,Id)*= (B°p, Id),
so that the notion ofduality (-)*
for monads extends the notion of
duality (-)op
forcategories, and,
sinceBOp
op = B, categories
do appear like(trivial)
reflexive monads. Ingeneral,
a
duality
theorem Bop= C constructs the dual of a concretecategory
B as aconcrete
category
C.Here,
ifBT= C,
we have a "realization"FT :
Bop->C of the dual of a concretecategory
B with a concretecategory
C.This paper
gives
anexample
of asignificant
and non-trivial reflexive mon-ad,
whichpresents
as dual(in
the sense of monadduality
definedhere)
the"algebras
of the calculi" of inverseimages
and of directimages.
Using again
notation and results ofPropositions
10 and 12 of section4,
and
extending
notations of section2,
we setfor

Explicitely,
after(cap)
and(cup) (see
pages7, 8),
we have(1)

below :
i. e. each element X E X is obtained as follows : we choose a

covering
R ofA,
and X is made of allqualifications X

i. e. each element X E X is obtained as follows : we choose a

an element X E X is a

13 We have thefollowing
dualities :and
therefore, ( ual-, II ) and (Qual+, II )
arereflexive.
Thus,
with thisproposition,
thepulsative

6 The
algebraicity
oftopogeneses
overQual+
Let us call
topogenesis (see [3])
a full coreflexivesubcategory TopT
of Qual-such that the inclusion I :
TOPr Y Qual-
and itsright-adjoint r (that
wewrite as a
subscript
inTop!)
commute with theforgetful
functors U and S- toEns,
and such that S- sends the counit y : I . r ->IdQual-
of theadjunction
I -l r onIds- : S- -> S-;
that is to say :We write
r(x, X)
under the formr(x, X) = (X, Xy),
andThe upper
subscript y
in XIcorresponds
toT;
for eachparticular
case, weshall use, from now on and in the same
spirit,
the lower case letter corre-sponding
to the upper case letterdesignating
aright-adjoint
functorProposition
14 Thefunctor (Cop)op.
Iop :TopTop
->Qual+
isalgebraic
up to an
equivalence for
eachtopogenesis TopT.
Indeed,
this functor has anadjoint, namely
Top.Cop.
Let us check theB- condition ;
for the sake ofsimplicity,
let us write J for the functor(Cop)op.Iop.
First,
if(X, X)p->-> (Y, y)
is aJ-splittable pair,
then thepair
q
in
ual-
is(Cop)op-splittable,
and from theB-condition
for(Cop)op,
weIopp
have a
coequalizer (X, X)->-> (Y, y) e->(Z, Z)
inQual-op.
Due to theI g
adjunction
I l-T[7],
thismorphism
e determines amorphism (Y,y) +
Iopp
(Z, Z-1)
which is in fact acoequalizer
in(X, X) ->->(Y,
IopqY)
inTOProp;
indeed,
if(Y,y) h-> (Q, Q)
inual-°P equalizes
p and q, I°phequalizes Iopp
andIopq,
and therefore we have a factorisation inual-,
say h - e =h,
(Z, Z) h-> (Q, Q).
Afortiori, (Z, Zy) h-> (Q, Q)
factorizes inTopr.°P,
andthis h is
unique
sinceY 4
Z is aninjection.
- Second,
for thisJ-splittable pair,
let(Y, V) j (Z, Z)
be an arrow inTopTop.
p

if k is acoequalizer
of thepair X ->-> Y ,
then Jk is acoequalizer
q
Jp op
of the
pair J X X) ->->J(Y, Y) ;
from the-condition
for(Cop)op,
lk is aJq
Iopp
coequalizer
if andonly
if IopK is acoequalizer
of(X, x) ->-> (Y, y).
AndIOPq
indeed,
if(Y, y)l-> (K, lC) equalizes I°Pp
andI°Pq
inual-°p,
then 1 deter- mines an arrow(Y,y) -> (K, Kg)
inTopr°P,
whichequalizes
p and q; thisl factors therefore into l = l.k for a certain
(Y,y)l-> (K, /(9)
inTopTop,
which determines a
(Z, Z) l-> (K, K).
And this latterI
isunique since,
if(Z,Z) l-> (K, K)
satisfies l.Iopk =l,
then1
determines(Y,y)l-> (K, K9)
satisfying 1 - k

and hence 1 = l.Iopp

IoPk is acoequalizer

ExarrLple
2: LetEquiv
be thecategory
withobjects pairs (E, r)
whereE is a set and r an
equivalence
relation onE,
and with amorphism f : (El, rl)
->(E2, r2) mappings f : E1 -> E2
such thatthat is to say, such that there exists
an f making
thediagram
commutative. One may see
Equiv
up to within anequivalence
as the fullsubcategory
of thetopos Ens*
whoseobjects
are theepimorphisms
ofEns.
If r is an
equivalence
relation onE,
let us write8(E, r)
for thetopological
space on the set E with the
topology generated by
the classes ofequivalence,
that is the
topology
with open sets any union ofequivalence
classes for r(and
therefore with closed sets also any union ofequivalence classes).
In thisway,
Equiv
isisomorphic
to the fullsubcategory
ofTop
withobjects
thesespaces X for which
0((X)= F(X),
and 8 is theequalizer
of O and F. Weset E =O.8=F.8.
If
(X, X)
is aqualification
space, and r is anequivalence
relation onX,
we say that r is finer than X if VA E
X,
Vx E X(x
E A => rx CA),
and weset E(X,X)=(X,Xe)
withX e =
({r
C Ex E ;
r is anequivalence
relation finer thanX}>
where
"(-)"
means "theequivalence
relationgenerated by
-" . Thus X’ is finer than X and is the coarsest of allequivalence
relations over X whichare finer than X. In
fact, xl’yex’
if andonly
if x andx’
shareexactly
thesame
qualities
of X(i. e.
we cannotdistinguish x
fr omx’
on the basis of theirqualities).
Given anequivalence
relation s on a setY,
amapping f :
Y - Xis
compatible
with s and xe if andonly
if it is continuous(i. e.
inual- )
fromO(Y, s)
to(X, X),
i.e. we have theadjunction
O -l E.Indeed, f
is continuous if andonly
iff s
is finer thanx,
wheref s
is theequivalence
relation on Xgenerated by
the relationf [s] :
Then
IdX
iscompatible
withfr’
andX e,
andtherefore, f
iscompatible
withrt
and xe .Equiv
isisomorphic
to a fullsubcategory TopE
ofual-
whichis a topogenesis.
