Quotient description of the ordinary subobject classifier

About 14 years old · traced to

Let cmathcalV(cmathcalH)cmathcal{V}(cmathcal{H}) be the context category of the Hilbert space cmathcalHcmathcal{H}, let cmathcalVf(cmathcalH)cmathcal{V}_f(cmathcal{H}) be the same category with the group action forgotten, let FF be the associated functor, and let G‾\underline{G} denote the relevant group object. Write Ω‾Vf(H)\underline{\Omega}^{\mathcal{V}_f(\mathcal{H})} and Ω‾V(H)\underline{\Omega}^{\mathcal{V}(\mathcal{H})} for the corresponding subobject classifiers. Quotient subobject-classifier conjecture. The ordinary subobject classifier is isomorphic to the quotient

Ω‾Vf(H)≃F(Ω‾V(H))/G‾.\underline{\Omega}^{\mathcal{V}_f(\mathcal{H})}\simeq F(\underline{\Omega}^{\mathcal{V}(\mathcal{H})})/\underline{G}.

This follows in the source from the preceding result and the identification of the two underlying context categories; the displayed assertion is therefore solved in the paper rather than left open.
