In the context of constructive locale or frame theory (locale theory over a fixed base locale), we study some aspects of ’frame distributions’, meaning sup preserving maps from a frame to the base frame. We derive a relationship between results of Jibladze-Johnstone and Bunge-Funk, and also descriptions in distribution terms, as well as in double negation terms, of the ’interior of closure’ ope...

It is a classic result in lattice theory that a poset is a complete lattice i↵ it can be realized as fixpoints of a closure operator on a powerset. Dragalin [9,10] observed that a poset is a locale (complete Heyting algebra) i↵ it can be realized as fixpoints of a nucleus on the locale of upsets of a poset. He also showed how to generate a nucleus on upsets by adding a structure of “paths” to a...

We say that a Hausdorff locale is compactly generated if it is the colimit of the diagram of its compact sublocales connected by inclusions. We show that this is the case if and only if the natural map of its frame of opens into the second Lawson dual is an isomorphism. More generally, for any Hausdorff locale, the second dual of the frame of opens gives the frame of opens of the colimit. In or...

Based on original work in [TV03], this paper gives a representation theorem for the Scott continuous maps between frames in terms of natural transformations between functors indexed by frames. The result specializes to frame homomorphisms, thereby giving a representation theorem for all locale maps (i.e. continuous maps as defined in locale theory).

A σ-frame is a poset with countable joins and finite meets in which binary meets distribute over countable joins. Aim of this paper is to present σ-frames, actually σ-locales, as a branch of Formal Topology, that is, intuitionistic and predicative pointfree topology. We show that every σframe L can be presented as the lattice of Lindelöf elements (those whose covers admit countable subcovers) o...

In this paper, we present a new technique based on feature localization for segmenting and tracking objects in videos. A video locale is a sequence of image feature locales that share similar features (color, texture, shape, and motion) in the spatiotemporal domain of videos. Image feature locales are grown from tiles (blocks of pixels) and can be non-disjoint and nonconnected. Intuitively, fea...

semi-regular locales are extensions of the classical semiregularspaces. we investigate the conditions such that semi-regularizationis a functor. we also investigate the conditions such that semi-regularizationis a reflection or coreflection.

This paper investigates aspects of measure and randomness in the context of locale theory (point-free topology). We prove that every measure (σ-continuous valuation) μ, on the σ-frame of opens of a fitted σ-locale X, extends to a measure on the lattice of all σ-sublocales of X (Theorem 1). Furthermore, when μ is a finite measure with μ(X) = M , the σ-locale X has a smallest σ-sublocale of measu...

We create an open multilingual wordnet with large wordnets for over 26 languages and smaller ones for 57 languages. It is made by combining wordnets with open licences, data from Wiktionary and the Unicode Common Locale Data Repository. Overall there are over 2 million senses for over 100 thousand concepts, linking over 1.4 million words in hundreds of languages.

If a locale is presented by a “flat site”, it is shown how its frame can be presented by generators and relations as a dcpo. A necessary and sufficient condition is derived for compactness of the locale (and also for its openness). Although its derivation uses impredicative constructions, it is also shown predicatively using the inductive generation of formal topologies. A predicative proof of ...
