On analytic models of synthetic differential geometry
The functor taking global elements of Boolean algebras in the topos of sheaves on a complete Boolean algebra is shown to preserve and reflect injectivity as well as completeness. This is then used to derive a result of Bell on the Boolean Ultrafilter Theorem in -valued set theory and to prove that (i) the category of complete Boolean algebras and complete homomorphisms has no non-trivial injectives, and (ii) the category of frames has no absolute retracts.
In the context of Synthetic Differential Geometry, we discuss vector fields/ordinary differential equations as actions; in particular, we exploit function space formation (exponential spaces) in the category of actions.
