A co-free construction for elementary doctrines
Fabio Pasquali · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2012
We provide a co-free construction which adds elementary structure to a primary doctrine. We show that the construction preserves comprehensions and all the logical operations which are in the starting doctrine, in the sense that it maps a first order many-sorted theory into a the same theory formulated with equality. As a corollary it forces an implicational doctrine to have an extentional entailment.
