Wikipedia
Topos
In mathematics, a topos (UK: , US: ; plural topoi or , or toposes) is a category that behaves like the category of sheaves of sets on a topological space (or more generally: on a site). Topoi behave much like the category of sets and possess a notion of localization; they are a direct generalization of point-set topology. The Grothendieck topoi find applications in algebraic geometry; the more general elementary topoi are used in logic. The mathematical field that studies topoi is called topos theory.

A topos is a concept in category theory, a field in mathematics. It can be defined as a category that behaves like the category of sets and satisfies certain axioms related to limits and exponentials. More specifically, a topos has the properties of having all finite limits, being cartesian-closed, and having a subobject classifier. Toposes have applications in algebraic geometry, theoretical physics and logic.
