Is there any category theoretic proof for independence of Continuum Hypothesis?

628 Views Asked by At

Both of set theory and category theory could be a foundation for mathematics. Many set theoretic arguments could be translated to a category theoretic argument and vice versa.

Question: Is there any category theoretic proof for independence of Continuum Hypothesis ($CH$)? What about more complicated arguments like independence of Martin's Axiom ($MA$)? Any reference for category theoretic interpretation of purely set theoretic arguments is also welcome.
