We prove the analogue of the Baer Criterion for injectivity in the category AbShℒ of abelian groups in a topos of sheaves on a locale, that is, we show A is injective in AbShℒ if and only if it is injective relative to all S ↣ Zℒ where Zℒ is the group of integers in Shℒ. for a well-ordered locale we describe the injective hulls in AbShℒ in terms of injective hulls in Ab. Further we show that the global functor A → AE preserves injective hulls if and only if ℒ is a finite boolean locale. Finally We characterise injectives in AbShℒ for some special locales.
