Sieves🔗
Given a category a sieve on an object Is a subset of the maps closed under composition: If then The data of a sieve on corresponds to the data of a subobject of considered as an object of
Here, the subset is represented as the function arrows
, which, given an
arrow
(and its domain), yields a proposition representing inclusion in the
subset.

The maximal
sieve on an object
is the collection of all maps
It represents the identity map
as a subfunctor. A
family of sieves can be intersected (the underlying predicate is the
“
conjunction”
— the universal quantifier), and this represents a wide pullback of
subobjects.

Representing subfunctors🔗
Let be a sieve on We show that it determines a presheaf and that this presheaf admits a monic natural transformation The functor determined by a sieve sends each object to the set of arrows s.t. The functorial action is given by composition, as with the functor.
to-presheaf : ∀ {c} → Sieve C c → PSh.Ob to-presheaf {c} sieve .F₀ d = el! (Σ[ f ∈ C.Hom d c ] (f ∈ sieve)) to-presheaf sieve .F₁ f (g , s) = g C.∘ f , sieve .closed s _
to-presheaf sieve .F-id = funext λ _ → Σ-prop-path! (C.idr _) to-presheaf sieve .F-∘ f g = funext λ _ → Σ-prop-path! (C.assoc _ _ _)
That this functor is a subobject of follows straightforwardly: The injection map is given by projecting out the first component, which is an embedding (since “being in a sieve” is a proposition). Since natural transformations are monic if they are componentwise monic, and embeddings are monic, the result follows.
to-presheaf↪よ : ∀ {c} {S : Sieve C c} → to-presheaf S PSh.↪ よ₀ C c to-presheaf↪よ {S} .mor .η x (f , _) = f to-presheaf↪よ {S} .mor .is-natural x y f = refl to-presheaf↪よ {S} .monic g h path = ext λ i x → Σ-prop-path! (unext path i x)
Pullback of sieves🔗
If we have a sieve on and any morphism then there is a natural way to restrict the to a sieve on a morphism belongs to the restriction if the composite belongs to We refer to the resulting sieve as the pullback of along , and write it
pullback : ∀ {u v} → C.Hom v u → Sieve C u → Sieve C v pullback f s .arrows h = el (f C.∘ h ∈ s) (hlevel 1) pullback f s .closed hf g = subst (_∈ s) (sym (C.assoc f _ g)) (s .closed hf g)
If we consider the collection of “sieves on ” as varying along as a parameter, the pullback operation becomes functorial. Since it is contravariant, this means that the assignment is itself a presheaf on
abstract pullback-id : ∀ {c} {s : Sieve C c} → pullback C.id s ≡ s pullback-id {s = s} = ext λ h → biimp (subst (_∈ s) (C.idl h)) (subst (_∈ s) (sym (C.idl h))) pullback-∘ : ∀ {u v w} {f : C.Hom w v} {g : C.Hom v u} {R : Sieve C u} → pullback (g C.∘ f) R ≡ pullback f (pullback g R) pullback-∘ {f = f} {g} {R = R} = ext λ h → biimp (subst (_∈ R) (sym (C.assoc g f h))) (subst (_∈ R) (C.assoc g f h))
This presheaf has an important universal property: the natural transformations correspond naturally to the subobjects of Categorically, we say that is a subobject classifier in the category

Generated sieves🔗
Often, it’s more practical to define a family of maps, and
to obtain a sieve from this family after the fact. To this end, we
define a type Cover
for
families of maps into a common codomain, paired with their indexing
type.
record Cover (U : ⌞ C ⌟) ℓ' : Type (o ⊔ ℓ ⊔ lsuc ℓ') where field {index} : Type ℓ' {domain} : index → ⌞ C ⌟ map : ∀ i → Hom (domain i) U
open Cover module _ {o ℓ} {C : Precategory o ℓ} where private module C = Cat.Reasoning C instance Underlying-Cover : ∀ {ℓ' U} → Underlying (Cover C U ℓ') Underlying-Cover = record { ⌞_⌟ = index }
The sieve generated by a cover is the collection of maps that factor through at least one of the i.e., for a map it is the proposition
cover→sieve : ∀ {ℓ' U} → Cover C U ℓ' → Sieve C U cover→sieve {U = U} f .arrows {W} g = elΩ do Σ[ i ∈ f ] Σ[ h ∈ C.Hom W (f .domain i) ] (f .map i C.∘ h ≡ g) cover→sieve f .closed = rec! λ i h p g → inc (i , h C.∘ g , C.pulll p)
Since the primary purpose of Cover
is to present
sieves, we register an instance of the ⟦⟧-notation
class, so that
we can write ⟦ cov ⟧
instead of
cover→sieve cov
