Minimal Hausdorff and maximal compact spaces

Modal compact Hausdorff spaces

We introduce modal compact Hausdorff spaces as generalizations of modal spaces, and show these are coalgebras for the Vietoris functor on compact Hausdorff spaces. Modal compact regular frames and modal de Vries algebras are introduced as algebraic counterparts of modal compact Hausdorff spaces, and dualities are given for the categories involved. These extend the familiar Isbell and de Vries d...

Minimal sequential Hausdorff spaces

A sequential space (X,T) is called minimal sequential if no sequential topology on X is strictly weaker than T . This paper begins the study of minimal sequential Hausdorff spaces. Characterizations ofminimal sequential Hausdorff spaces are obtained using filter bases, sequences, and functions satisfying certain graph conditions. Relationships between this class of spaces and other classes of s...

Subordinations, closed relations and compact Hausdorff spaces

We introduce the concept of a subordination, which is dual to the well-known concept of a precontact on a Boolean algebra. We develop a full categorical duality between Boolean algebras with a subordination and Stone spaces with a closed relation, thus generalizing the results of [14]. We introduce the concept of an irreducible equivalence relation, and that of a Gleason space, which is a pair ...

Reduced Coproducts of Compact Hausdorff Spaces

By analyzing how one obtains the Stone space of the reduced product of an indexed collection of Boolean algebras from the Stone spaces of those algebras, we derive a topological construction, the "reduced coproduct", which makes sense for indexed collections of arbitrary Tichonov spaces. When the filter in question is an ultrafilter, we show how the "ultracoproduct" can be obtained from the usu...
