چکیده

This paper surveys recent developments in the theory of profinite Heyting algebras (resp. bounded distributive lattices, Boolean algebras) and profinite completions of Heyting algebras (resp. bounded distributive lattices, Boolean algebras). The new contributions include a necessary and sufficient condition for a profinite Heyting algebra (resp. bounded distributive lattice) to be isomorphic to the profinite completion of a Heyting algebra (resp. bounded distributive lattice). This results in simple examples of profinite bounded distributive lattices that are not isomorphic to the profinite completion of any bounded distributive lattice. We also show that each profinite Boolean algebra is isomorphic to the profinite completion of some Boolean algebra. It is still an open question whether each profinite Heyting algebra is isomorphic to the profinite completion of some Heyting algebra. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 06B23, 06D20, 06D50.

Profinite Completions and Canonical Extensions of Heyting Algebras

We show that the profinite completions and canonical extensions of bounded distributive lattices and of Boolean algebras coincide. We characterize dual spaces of canonical extensions of bounded distributive lattices and of Heyting algebras in terms of Nachbin order-compactifications. We give the dual description of the profinite completion ̂ H of a Heyting algebra H, and characterize the dual sp...

On finitely generated Heyting algebras

We study finitely generated Heyting algebras from algebraic and model theoretic points of view. We prove amon others that finitely generated free Heyting algebras embed in their profinite completions, which are projective limits of finitely generated free Heyting algebras of finite dimension.

Comparison of MacNeille, Canonical, and Profinite Completions

Using duality theory, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the MacNeille, canonical, and profinite completions of distributive lattices, Heyting algebras, and Boolean algebras to be isomorphic.

Profinite Heyting Algebras

For a Heyting algebra A, we show that the following conditions are equivalent: (i) A is profinite; (ii) A is finitely approximable, complete, and completely joinprime generated; (iii) A is isomorphic to the Heyting algebra Up(X) of upsets of an image-finite poset X. We also show that A is isomorphic to its profinite completion iff A is finitely approximable, complete, and the kernel of every fi...

Compact Hausdorff Heyting algebras

We prove that the topology of a compact Hausdorff topological Heyting algebra is a Stone topology. It then follows from known results that a Heyting algebra is profinite iff it admits a compact Hausdorff topology that makes it a compact Hausdorff topological Heyting algebra.
