I will explain how a category endowed with a unique factorisation system of its arrows define a good setting to do topology and develop some examples in algebraic geometry : zariski and etale topologies and two dual settings (related to quotients and finite maps of rings). If enough time i will also apply this to the category of monoids in pointed sets where one obtains a notion of spectra that may be useful in the study of the field with one element.
