Non-commutative Stone duality

Category Theory 2022-08-02 v2

Abstract

We show explicitly that Boolean inverse semigroups are in duality with what we term Boolean groupoids. This generalizes the classical Stone duality, which we refer to as commutative Stone duality, between generalized Boolean algebras and locally compact Hausdorff 00-dimensional spaces.
