Below I consider a notion of orthogonality with respect to cones, generalising that of orthogonality with respect to maps and the sheaf condition for a cover in a Grothendieck topology: 1. We say that an object K is orthogonal to a cone D --> C whenever for every cone D --> K there exists a unique C --> K such that (D --> C --> K) = (D --> K). 2. For a category K and a class J of cones in K we define O(K,J) as the full subcategory of K consisting of all those objects orthogonal to every cone in J. My question is: Let A be a small category and write Psh A for the topos of presheaves on A. Is there a characterisation of the classes J of cones in A for which O(Psh A,J) is a topos? Comments and pointers to relevant literature are welcome. Many thanks, Marcelo.
