Abstract

A \nabla-algebra is a natural generalization of a Heyting algebra, unifying several algebraic structures, including bounded lattices, Heyting algebras, temporal Heyting algebras, and the algebraic representation of dynamic topological systems. In the prequel to this paper [3], we explored the algebraic properties of various varieties of \nabla-algebras, their subdirectly-irreducible and simple elements, their closure under Dedekind-MacNeille completion, and their Kripke-style representation. In this sequel, we first introduce \nabla-spaces as a common generalization of Priestley and Esakia spaces, through which we develop a duality theory for certain categories of \nabla-algebras. Then, we reframe these dualities in terms of spectral spaces and provide an algebraic characterization of natural families of dynamic topological systems over Priestley, Esakia, and spectral spaces. Additionally, we present a ring-theoretic representation for some families of \nabla-algebras. Finally, we introduce several logical systems to capture different varieties of \nabla-algebras, offering their algebraic, Kripke, topological, and ring-theoretic semantics, and establish a deductive interpolation theorem for some of these systems.
