Hausdorff and Gromov distances are introduced and treated in the context of categories enriched over a commutative unital quantale V . The Hausdorff functor which, for every V-category X, provides the powerset of X with a suitable V-category structure, is part of a monad on V-Cat whose Eilenberg-Moore algebras are order-complete. The Gromov construction may be pursued for any endofunctor K of V...

In fairly elementary terms this paper presents how the theory of preordered fuzzy sets, more precisely quantale-valued preorders on quantale-valued fuzzy sets, is established under the guidance of enriched category theory. Motivated by several key results from the theory of quantaloid-enriched categories, this paper develops all needed ingredients purely in order-theoretic languages for the rea...

1 Quantales In this section we introduce the basic deenitions and results of the theory of quantales (a good reference is Ros]). Quantales were introduced by Mulvey ((Mul]) as an algebraic tool for studying representations of non-commutative C-algebras. Informally, a quantale is a complete lattice Q equipped with a product distributive over arbitrary sup's. The importance of quantales for Linea...

We introduce the concept of a Girard couple, which consists of two (not necessarily unital) quantales linked by a strong form of duality. The two basic examples of Girard couples arise in the study of endomorphism quantales and of the spectra of operator algebras. We construct, for an arbitrary sup-lattice S, a Girard quantale whose right-sided part is isomorphic to S.

The definition of a category of (T,V)-algebras, where V is a unital commutative quantale and T is a Set-monad, requires the existence of a certain lax extension of T. In this article, we present a general construction of such an extension. This leads to the formation of two categories of (T,V)-algebras: the category Alg(T,V) of canonical (T,V)-algebras, and the category Alg(T′,V) of op-canonica...

in this work, we describe an adjunction between the comma category of set-based monads under the v -powerset monad and the category of associative lax extensions of set-based monads to the category of v -relations. in the process, we give a general construction of the kleisli extension of a monad to the category of v-relations.

In this paper, the category of L-FINT is topological category over Set. We investigate the functorial relations between L-FTOP and LFINT where L is a strictly two-sided, commutative quantale lattice. Mathematics Subject Classification: 03E72, 54A40, 54B10

This paper is about a generalization of Scott’s domain theory in such a way that its definitions and theorems become meaningful in quasimetric spaces. The generalization is achieved by a change of logic: the fundamental concepts of original domain theory (order, way-below relation, Scott-open sets, continuous maps, etc.) are interpreted as predicates that are valued in an arbitrary completely d...

This article is concerned with Alexandroff L-topological spaces and L-co-topological spaces, where L is a commutative, unital quantale. On one hand, an example is given to show that there is a finite strong L-topological space that is not Alexandroff. On the other hand, it is proved that every finite strong L-co-topological space is Alexandroff and that the category of Alexandroff strong L-co-t...

A notion of convolution is presented in the context of formal power series together with lifting constructions characterising algebras of such series, which usually are quantales. A number of examples underpin the universality of these constructions, the most prominent ones being separation logics, where convolution is separating conjunction in an assertion quantale; interval logics, where conv...
