Toposes of connectivity spaces. Morita equivalences with topological spaces and partially ordered sets in the finite case
St\'ephane Dugowson (Quartz)

TL;DR
This paper explores the relationship between connectivity spaces and topological spaces by showing that in the finite case, they are Morita-equivalent, thus establishing a deep categorical connection.
Contribution
It proves that every finite connectivity space is Morita-equivalent to a finite topological space, bridging the two concepts in the finite setting.
Findings
Finite connectivity spaces are Morita-equivalent to finite topological spaces
The topos of a connectivity space can be described as a sheaf topos
Establishes a categorical equivalence in the finite case
Abstract
This paper has two parts. First, we recall and detail the definition of the Grothendieck topos of a connectivity space, that is the topos of sheaves on such a space. In the second part, we prove that every finite connectivity space is Morita-equivalent to a finite topological space, and vice versa (we have given this proof in several, but we haven't yet shared this in writing).
