Popis: In this paper we examine when an algebra of some kind can be represented as the algebra of sections of, for example, a sheaf whose stalks satisfy first-order conditions. This extends the work of [11] which was mainly restricted to totally Hausdorff representations. The general purpose of this work is to relate (classical) universal algebra to intuitionistic algebra in the spirit of [-16]. Our best results characterize rings of sections of integral domain objects and represent any f-ring by a sheaf of totally ordered rings. In these cases the results are true for an arbitrary topos defined over sets and not just for a spatial topos. (A spatial topos is a category of sheaves over a fixed base. This paper makes sense even if the word " topos" is consistently read as "spatial topos.") We proceed to state our results in detail for integral domain objects and totally ordered ring objects.
