Let X be a preorder ≤, and consider the associated Alexandrov topology on X. Given a functor F : X ⥤ C to a complete category, we can extend F to a presheaf on (the topological space) X by taking the right Kan extension along the canonical functor X ⥤ (Opens X)ᵒᵖ sending x : X to the principal open {y | x ≤ y} in the Alexandrov topology.

This file proves that this presheaf is a sheaf.

def Alexandrov.principalOpen {X : Type v} [TopologicalSpace X] [Preorder X] [Topology.IsUpperSet X] (x : X) : TopologicalSpace.Opens X

Given x : X, this is the principal open subset of X generated by x.

Given a structured arrow f with domain U : Opens X over principals X, this functor sends f to its "generator", an element of X.

Given a structured arrow f with domain iSup Us over principals X, where Us is a family of Opens X, this functor sends f to the principal open associated with it, considered as an object in the full subcategory of all V : Opens X such that V ≤ Us i for some i.

This is the main construction in this file showing that the right Kan extension of F : X ⥤ C along principals : X ⥤ (Opens X)ᵒᵖ is a sheaf, by showing that a certain cone is a limit cone.

The main theorem of this file. If X is a topological space and preorder whose topology is the UpperSet topology associated with the preorder, F : X ⥤ C is a functor into a complete category from the preorder category, and P : (Opens X)ᵒᵖ ⥤ C denotes the right Kan extension of F along the functor X ⥤ (Open X)ᵒᵖ which sends x : X to {y | x ≤ y}, then P is a sheaf.
