Semilattice base hierarchy for frames and its topological ramifications

General Topology 2024-04-24 v2

Abstract

We develop a hierarchy of semilattice bases (S-bases) for frames. For a given (unbounded) meet-semilattice AA, we analyze the interval in the coframe of sublocales of the frame of downsets of AA formed by all frames with the S-base AA. We give an explicit description of the nuclei associated with these sublocales. We study various degrees of completeness of AA, which generalize the concepts of extremally disconnected and basically disconnected frames. We also introduce the concepts of D-bases and L-bases, as well as their bounded counterparts, and show how our results specialize and sharpen in these cases. Classic examples that are covered by our approach include zero-dimensional, completely regular, and coherent frames, allowing us to provide a new perspective on these well-studied classes of frames, as well as their spatial counterparts.
