چکیده
Hedin, A. 2011. Contributions to Pointfree Topology and Apartness Spaces. Department of Mathematics. Uppsala Dissertations in Mathematics 71. 40 pp. Uppsala. The work in this thesis contains some contributions to constructive point-free topology and the theory of apartness spaces. The first two papers deal with constructive domain theory using formal topology. In Paper I we focus on the notion of a domain representation of a formal space as a way to introduce generalized points of the represented space, whereas we in Paper II give a constructive and point-free treatment of the domain theoretic approach to differential calculus. The last two papers are of a slightly different nature but still concern constructive topology. In paper III we consider a measure theoretic covering theorem from various constructive angles in both point-set and point-free topology. We prove a point-free version of the theorem. In Paper IV we deal with issues of impredicativity in the theory of apartness spaces. We introduce a notion of set-presented apartness relation which enables a predicative treatment of basic constructions of point-set apartness spaces.

Apartness and formal topology
The theory of formal spaces and the more recent theory of apartness spaces have a priori not much more in common than that each of them was initiated as a constructive approach to general topology. We nonetheless try to do the first steps in relating these competing theories to each other. Formal topology was put forward in the mid 1980s by Sambin [8] in order to make available to Martin–Löf’s ...
متن کاملJourney into Apartness Space
On more than one occasion, the late Errett Bishop [1] suggested that general pointset topology might have little signi cance for constructive mathematics, and that locally convex spaces, together with appropriate ad hoc topological constructions, might su¢ ce for most constructive analysis. Work begun by us ve years ago suggests that, on the contrary, there is at least one constructive approa...
متن کاملApartness spaces as a framework for constructive topology
An axiomatic development of the theory of apartness and nearness of a point and a set is introduced as a framework for constructive topology. Various notions of continuity of mappings between apartness spaces are compared; the constructive independence of one of the axioms from the others is demonstrated; and the product apartness structure is defined and analysed.

متن کاملApartness, Topology, and Uniformity: a Constructive View
The theory of apartness spaces, and their relation to topological spaces (in the point—set case) and uniform spaces (in the set—set case), is sketched. New notions of local decomposability and regularity are investigated, and the latter is used to produce an example of a classically metrisable apartness on R that cannot be induced constructively by even a uniform structure.
