We study the condition, on a connected and locally connected geometric morphism $p:{\cal E}\to{\cal S}$, that the canonical natural transformation $p_*\to p_!$ should be (pointwise) epimorphic—- a condition which F.W. Lawvere called the `Nullstellensatz’, but which we prefer to call `punctual local connectedness’. We show that this condition implies that $p_!$ preserves finite products, and that, for bounded morphisms between toposes with natural number objects, it is equivalent to being both local and hyperconnected.
