Description of the covering sieves of the extensive topology #
This file characterises the covering sieves of the extensive topology.
Main result #
extensiveTopology.mem_sieves_iff_contains_colimit_cofan
: a sieve is a covering sieve for the extensive topology if and only if it contains a finite family of morphisms with fixed target exhibiting the target as a coproduct of the sources.
