I had one or two questions to add to Adler ones, perhaps some naughty cathegorist there can answer easily. First, is the category of conmutative C*-algebras a topos? Being as it is the dual (or it was the antiequivalente?) of the category of compact topological spaces, it would be a topos or sort of, am I correct? Second, what about the category of all C* algebras, this is, including the no conmmutative algebras? Following Connes, you can use ANY C* algebra to make diferential geometry. And you have "points" and "arcs" (R-->M or dually C(M)-->R). This would have a categorial counterpart. Third, which is the difference from the categorial point of view of the two categories? This would be: Which is the correct categorial formulation of conmuttativity? But I m not sure if there are more diffs. I dont know if categorists are or not in the side of Connes but I think they would have something to say about all this stuff of non conmutative geometry, manifolds etc...
