Abstract

We establish the existence and uniqueness of a factorization for geometric morphisms that generalizes the pure, complete spread factorization for geometric morphisms with a locally connected domain. A complete spread with locally connected domain over a topos is a geometric counterpart of a Lawvere distribution on the topos, and the factorization itself is of the comprehensive type. The new factorization removes the topologically restrictive local connectedness requirement by working with quasicomponents in topos theory. In the special case when the codomain topos of the geometric morphism coincides with the base topos, the factorization gives the locale of quasicomponents of the domain topos, or its ‘0-dimensional’ reflection.
