following the categorical approach to universal algebra through algebraic theories, proposed by f.~w.~lawvere in his phd thesis, this paper aims at introducing a similar setting for general topology. the cornerstone of the new framework is the notion of emph{categorically-algebraic} (emph{catalg}) emph{topological theory}, whose models induce a category of topological structures. we introduce t...

in this paper, let $l$ be a completeresiduated lattice, and let {bf set} denote the category of setsand mappings, $lf$-{bf pos} denote the category of $lf$-posets and$lf$-monotone mappings, and $lf$-{bf cslat}$(sqcup)$, $lf$-{bfcslat}$(sqcap)$ denote the category of $lf$-completelattices and $lf$-join-preserving mappings and the category of$lf$-complete lattices and $lf$-meet-preserving mapping...

lthough fuzzy set theory and  sheaf theory have been developed and studied independently,  ulrich hohle shows that a large part of fuzzy set  theory  is in fact a subfield of sheaf theory. many authors have studied mathematical structures, in particular, algebraic structures, in both  categories of these generalized (multi)sets. using hohle's idea, we show that for a (universal) algebra $a$, th...

The paper is devoted to concern a relationship between rough set theory and universal algebra. Notions of lower and upper rough approximations on an algebraic structure induced by an ideal are introduced and some of their properties are studied. Also, notions of rough subalgebras and rough ideals with respect to an ideal of an algebraic structure, which is an extended notion of subalgebras and ...
