Cauchy-completeness separation conjecture for elementary topoi
Cauchy-completeness separation conjecture for elementary topoi
Let and denote the Cauchy and Euclidean real objects, respectively, and let be the two-valued choice principle defined in the paper.
Cauchy-completeness separation conjecture.
- There exists an elementary topos in which ; equivalently, there exists an elementary topos in which is not Cauchy complete.
- There exists an elementary topos in which holds but .
The second assertion is stated to imply both the first assertion and the corresponding earlier conjecture involving . The supplied text gives no resolution.
