Abstract

A. M.Pitts in [Pi] proved that is a bi-Heyting category satisfying the Lawvere condition. We show that the embedding Φ: → Sh(P0, J0) into the topos of sheaves, (P0 is the category of finite rooted posets and open maps, J0 the canonical topology on P0) given by H ↦ HA(H, (−)) : P0 → Set preserves the structure mentioned above, finite coproducts, and subobject classifier; it is also conservative. This whole structure on can be derived from that of Sh(P0, J0) via the embedding Φ. We also show that the equivalence relations in are not effective in general. On the way to these results we establish a new kind of duality between and a category of sheaves equipped with certain structure defined in terms of Ehrenfeucht games. Our methods are model-theoretic and combinatorial as opposed to proof-theoretic as in [Pi].
