Girard couples of quantales

Category Theory 2008-03-07 v1 Logic Quantum Algebra

Abstract

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 SS, a Girard quantale whose right-sided part is isomorphic to SS.
