Classically, a Tychonoff space is called strongly 0-dimensional if its Stone-Čech compactification is 0-dimensional, and given the familiar relationship between spaces and frames it is then natural to call a completely regular frame strongly 0-dimensional if its compact completely regular coreflection is 0-dimensional (meaning: is generated by its complemented elements). Indeed, it is then seen...

A characterization of the cozero elements of a frame, without reference to the reals, is given and is used to obtain a characterization of pseudocompactness also independent of the reals. Applications are made to the congruence frame of a σ-frame and to Alexandroff spaces.

In this paper, we study the concept of $mathcal C$-reticulation for the category $mathcal C$ whose objects are lattice-valued maps. The relation between the free objects in $mathcal C$ and the $mathcal C$-reticulation of rings and modules is discussed. Also, a method to construct $mathcal C$-reticulation is presented, in the case where $mathcal C$ is equational. Some relations between the conce...

We use graph convergence of set valued maps to show the existence of an equilibrium for an abstract economy without assuming the lower semi continuity of the constraint maps.

Each closed oriented 3-manifoldM is naturally associated with a set of integersD(M), the degrees of all self-maps on M . D(M) is determined for each torus bundle and torus semi-bundle M . The structure of torus semi-bundle is studied in detail. The paper is a part of a project to determine D(M) for all 3-manifolds in Thurston’s picture.

A bijective correspondence between strong inclusions and compactifications in the setting of σ-frames is presented. The category of uniform σ-frames is defined and a description of the Samuel compactification is given. It is shown that the Samuel compactification of a uniform frame is completely determined by the σ-frame consisting of its uniform cozero part, and consequently, any compactificat...
