Abstract

We give two concrete examples of continuous valuations on dcpo's to separate minimal valuations, point-continuous valuations and continuous valuations: (1) Let J\mathcal J be the Johnstone's non-sober dcpo, and μ\mu be the continuous valuation on J\mathcal J with μ(U)=1\mu(U) =1 for nonempty Scott opens UU and μ(U)=0\mu(U) = 0 for U=U=\emptyset. Then μ\mu is a point-continuous valuation on J\mathcal J that is not minimal. (2) Lebesgue measure extends to a measure on the Sorgenfrey line Rl\mathbb R_{l}. Its restriction to the open subsets of Rl\mathbb R_{l} is a continuous valuation λ\lambda. Then its image valuation λ\overline\lambda through the embedding of Rl\mathbb R_{l} into its Smyth powerdomain QRl\mathcal Q\mathbb R_{l} in the Scott topology is a continuous valuation that is not point-continuous. We believe that our construction λ\overline\lambda might be useful in giving counterexamples displaying the failure of the general Fubini-type equations on dcpo's.
