The projective tensor product in a category of topologicalR-modules (where R is a topological ring) can be defined in Top, the category of topological spaces, by the same universal property used to define the tensor product of R-modules in Set. In this article, we extend this definition to an arbitrary topological category X and study how the cartesian closedness of X is related to the monoidal...

Sierpinski space Ω is injective in the category Top of topological spaces, but not in any of the larger cartesian closed categories Conv of convergence spaces and Equ of equilogical spaces. We show that this negative result extends to all sub-cccs of Equ and Conv that are closed under subspaces and contain Top. On the other hand, we study the category PrTop of pretopological spaces that lies in...

As a practical foundation for a homotopy theory of abstract spacetime, we propose a convenient category S , which we show to extend a category of certain compact partially ordered spaces. In particular, we show that S ′ is Cartesian closed and that the forgetful functor S →T ′ to the category T ′ of compactly generated spaces creates all limits and colimits.

In this paper we consider admissible domain representations of topological spaces. A domain representation D of a space X is λ-admissible if, in principle, all other λ-based domain representations E of X can be reduced to D via a continuous function from E to D. We present a characterisation theorem of when a topological space has a λ-admissible and κ-based domain representation. We also prove ...

We present a general notion of realizability encompassing both standard Kleene style realizability over partial combinatory algebras and Kleene style realizability over more general structures, including all partial cartesian closed categories. We show how the general notion of realizability can be used to get models of dependent predicate logic, thus obtaining as a corollary (the known result)...
