Sambin to deal with topology in a constructive way, that is in intuitionistic type theory, is based on a binary cover relation and a positivity predicate. To deal predicatively with closed subsets of a topological space, G. Sambin extended formal topology with a binary positivity predicate. In this talk we consider formal topology with a binary positivity predicate furtherly extended with an indexed cover, called "relative formal topology", in order to represent the topology induced on a closed subset and we connect the corresponding category with that of topological spaces and that of formal topologies via categorical adjunctions.
