Definition 7.18.

Let \(E\) be a topos. An admissibility structure \(E^{\ad}\) is called local if the following conditions are satisfied:

  • The class \(E^{\ad}\) is a local class of maps.

  • For every \(X \in E\), the slice \(E^{\ad}_{/X} := (E^{\ad})_{/X}\) is presentable, and the inclusion \(E^{\ad}_{/X} \to E_{/X}\) preserves colimits. In particular, it admits a right adjoint \(\rho_X\colon E_{/X} \to E^{\ad}_{/X}\).

Given a local admissibility structure on \(E\), we say that an object \(X \in E\) is corporeal if the functor \(\rho_X\colon E_{/X} \to E^{\ad}_{/X}\) preserves colimits. We denote by

\[E^{\corp} \subseteq E^{\ad}\]

the full subcategory spanned by the corporeal objects. We say that \(E^{\ad}\) is geometric if, moreover, \(E\) is generated under colimits by corporeal objects.
