Let L be a complete orthomodular lattice. There is a one to one correspondence between complete boolean subalgebras of L contained in the center of L and endomorphisms j of L satisfying the Borceux-Van den Bossche conditions.

We associate a canonical unital involutive quantale to a topological groupoid. When the groupoid is also étale, this association is compatible with but independent from the theory of localic étale groupoids and their quantales [19] of P. Resende. As a motivating example, we describe the connection between the quantale and the C∗-algebra that both classify Penrose tilings, which was left as an o...

In this paper we prove that any quantale Q is (isomorphic to) a quantale of suitable relations on Q. As a consequence two isomorphism theorems are also shown with suitable sets of functions of Q into Q. These theorems are the mathematical background one needs in order to give natural and complete semantics for (non-commutative) Linear Logic using relations. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classificati...

We find the injective hulls of partially ordered monoids in the category whose objects are po-monoids and submultiplicative order-preserving functions. These injective hulls are with respect to a special class of monics called “embeddings”. We show as well that the injective objects with respect to these embeddings are precisely the quantales.

The central topic of this work is the categories of modules over unital quantales. The main categorical properties are established and a special class of operators, called Qmodule transforms, is defined. Such operators — that turn out to be precisely the homomorphisms between free objects in those categories — find concrete applications in two different branches of image processing, namely fuzz...

We develop an algebraic modal logic that combines epistemic and dynamic modalities with a view to modelling information acquisition (learning) by automated agents in a changing world. Unlike most treatments of dynamic epistemic logic, we have transitions that “change the state” of the underlying system and not just the state of knowledge of the agents. The key novel feature that emerges is the ...

We introduce the notion of infinitary preorder and use it to obtain a predicative presentation of sup-lattices by generators and relations. The method is uniform in that it extends in a modular way to obtain a presentation of quantales, as “sup-lattices on monoids”, by using the notion of pretopology. Our presentation is then applied to frames, the link with Johnstone’s presentation of frames i...
