McKinsey-Tarski algebras and Raney extensions

Category Theory 2026-04-07 v2

Abstract

We introduce the notion of Raney morphism between MT-algebras and show that the resulting category is equivalent to the category of Raney extensions. This is done by generalizing the construction of the Funayama envelope of a frame. The resulting notion of the T0T_0-hull of a Raney extension generalizes that of the TDT_D-hull of a frame.
