Entailment systems for stably locally compact locales
The category SCFrU of stably continuous frames and preframe ho-momorphisms (preserving ¯nite meets and directed joins) is dual to the Karoubi envelope of a category Ent whose objects are sets and whose
morphisms X ! Y are upper closed relations between the ¯nite powersets FX and FY . Composition of these morphisms is the \cut composition" of Jung et al. that interfaces disjunction in the codomains with conjunctions in the domains, and thereby relates to their multi-lingual sequent
calculus. Thus stably locally compact locales are represented by \entailment systems" (X; `) in which `, a generalization of entailment relations,is idempotent for cut composition.
Some constructions on stably locally compact locales are represented
in terms of entailment systems: products, duality and powerlocales.
Relational converse provides Ent with an involution, and this gives a simple treatment of the duality of stably locally compact locales. If A and B are stably continuous frames, then the internal preframe hom A t B is isomorphic to e A B where e A is the Hofmann-Lawson dual.
For a stably locally compact locale X, the lower powerlocale of X is shown to be the dual of the upper powerlocale of the dual of X
Duality and canonical extensions for stably compact spaces
We construct a canonical extension for strong proximity lattices in order to
give an algebraic, point-free description of a finitary duality for stably
compact spaces. In this setting not only morphisms, but also objects may have
distinct pi- and sigma-extensions.Comment: 29 pages, 1 figur
Canonical extension and canonicity via DCPO presentations
The canonical extension of a lattice is in an essential way a two-sided
completion. Domain theory, on the contrary, is primarily concerned with
one-sided completeness. In this paper, we show two things. Firstly, that the
canonical extension of a lattice can be given an asymmetric description in two
stages: a free co-directed meet completion, followed by a completion by
\emph{selected} directed joins. Secondly, we show that the general techniques
for dcpo presentations of dcpo algebras used in the second stage of the
construction immediately give us the well-known canonicity result for bounded
lattices with operators.Comment: 17 pages. Definition 5 was revised slightly, without changing any of
the result
Priestley-Stone Duality for Subbases of Stably Locally Compact Spaces
We extend the classic Priestley-Stone duality to a Wallman-like duality for
subbases of general stably locally compact spaces. As a corollary, we show that
any locally compact T_0 space X has a unique minimal 'stabilisation', i.e. a
stably locally compact space containing X as a patch-dense subspace, which is
moreover functorial with respect to proper maps
Bitopological Duality for Distributive Lattices and Heyting Algebras
We introduce pairwise Stone spaces as a natural bitopological generalization of Stone spaces—the duals of Boolean algebras—and show that they are exactly the bitopological duals of bounded distributive lattices. The category PStone of pairwise Stone spaces is isomorphic to the category Spec of spectral spaces and to the category Pries of Priestley spaces. In fact, the isomorphism of Spec and Pries is most naturally seen through PStone by first establishing that Pries is isomorphic to PStone, and then showing that PStone is isomorphic to Spec. We provide the bitopological and spectral descriptions of many algebraic concepts important for the study of distributive lattices. We also give new bitopological and spectral dualities for Heyting algebras, co-Heyting algebras, and bi-Heyting algebras, thus providing two new alternatives of Esakia’s duality
Categories of Residuated Lattices
We present dual variants of two algebraic constructions of certain classes of residuated lattices: The Galatos-Raftery construction of Sugihara monoids and their bounded expansions, and the Aguzzoli-Flaminio-Ugolini quadruples construction of srDL-algebras. Our dual presentation of these constructions is facilitated by both new algebraic results, and new duality-theoretic tools. On the algebraic front, we provide a complete description of implications among nontrivial distribution properties in the context of lattice-ordered structures equipped with a residuated binary operation. We also offer some new results about forbidden configurations in lattices endowed with an order-reversing involution. On the duality-theoretic front, we present new results on extended Priestley duality in which the ternary relation dualizing a residuated multiplication may be viewed as the graph of a partial function. We also present a new Esakia-like duality for Sugihara monoids in the spirit of Dunn\u27s binary Kripke-style semantics for the relevance logic R-mingle
