View on Github →feat(CategoryTheory/Sites): 1-hypercovers (#12803)
This PR defines a notion of 1
-hypercovers in a category C
equipped with a Grothendieck topology J
. A covering of an object S : C
consists of a family of maps f i : X i ⟶ S
which generates a covering sieve. In the favourable case where the fibre products of X i
and X j
over S
exist, the data of a 1
-hypercover consists of the data of objects Y j
which cover these fibre products. We formalize this notion without assuming that these fibre products actually exists. If F
is a sheaf and E
is a 1
-hypercover of S
, we show that F.val.obj (op S)
is a multiequalizer of suitable maps F.val.obj (op (X i)) ⟶ F.val.obj (op (Y j))
.
