A discrete duality between apartness algebras and apartness frames
نویسندگان
چکیده
Apartness spaces were introduced as a constructive counterpart to proximity spaces which, in turn, aimed to model the concept of nearness of sets in a metric or topological environment. In this paper we introduce apartness algebras and apartness frames intended to be abstract counterparts to the apartness spaces of Bridges and Vîta [3], and we prove a discrete duality for them.

Priestley Duality for Strong Proximity Lattices
In 1937 Marshall Stone extended his celebrated representation theorem for Boolean algebras to distributive lattices. In modern terminology, the representing topological spaces are zero-dimensional stably compact, but typically not Hausdorff. In 1970, Hilary Priestley realised that Stone’s topology could be enriched to yield orderdisconnected compact ordered spaces. In the present paper, we gene...
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 کاملBisimulation and Apartness in Coalgebraic Speciication
A rst basic fact in algebra (or, in algebraic speciication) is the existence of free algebras, as suitable sets of terms. In coalgebraic speciication, terminal coalgebras are known to exist in Sets (and in other categories) via the standard limit construction. Here we characterize these terminal coalgebras as sets of \trees of observations". It is a standard result that elements of (the carrier...
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 کاملPrecompact Apartness Spaces
We present a notion of precompactness, and study some of its properties, in the context of apartness spaces whose apartness structure is not necessarily induced by any uniform one. The presentation lies entirely with a Bishop-style constructive framework, and is a contribution to the ongoing development of the constructive theories of apartness and uniformity.
