Abstract

This is the second of three articles on the topic of truncation as an operation on divisible abelian lattice-ordered groups, or simply \ell-groups. This article uses the notation and terminology of the first article and assumes its results. In particular, we refer to an \ell-group with truncation as a truncated \ell-group, or simply a trunc, and denote the category of truncs with truncation morphisms by AT\mathbf{AT}. Here we develop the analog for AT\mathbf{AT} of Madden's pointfree representation for W\mathbf{W}, the category of archimedean \ell-groups with designated order unit. More explicitly, for every archimedean trunc AA there is a regular Lindel\"{o}f frame LL equipped with a designated point :L2\ast : L \rightarrow 2, a subtrunc A^\widehat{A} of R0L\mathcal{R}_{0}L, the trunc of pointed frame maps O0RL\mathcal{O}_{0}\mathbb{R}\rightarrow L, and a trunc isomorphism AA^A\rightarrow\widehat{A}. A pointed frame map is just a frame map between frames which commutes with their designated points, and O0R\mathcal{O}_{0}\mathbb{R} stands for the pointed frame which is the topology OR\mathcal{O}\mathbb{R} of the real numbers equipped with the frame map of the insertion 0R0 \to \mathbb{R}. (L,)\left( L,\ast\right) is unique up to pointed frame isomorphism with respect to its properties. Finally, we reprove an important result from the first article, namely that W\mathbf{W} is a non-full monoreflective subcategory of AT\mathbf{AT}.
