Truncated Abelian Lattice-Ordered Groups II: the Pointfree (Madden) Representation
Abstract
This is the second of three articles on the topic of truncation as an operation on divisible abelian lattice-ordered groups, or simply -groups. This article uses the notation and terminology of the first article and assumes its results. In particular, we refer to an -group with truncation as a truncated -group, or simply a trunc, and denote the category of truncs with truncation morphisms by . Here we develop the analog for of Madden's pointfree representation for , the category of archimedean -groups with designated order unit. More explicitly, for every archimedean trunc there is a regular Lindel\"{o}f frame equipped with a designated point , a subtrunc of , the trunc of pointed frame maps , and a trunc isomorphism . A pointed frame map is just a frame map between frames which commutes with their designated points, and stands for the pointed frame which is the topology of the real numbers equipped with the frame map of the insertion . is unique up to pointed frame isomorphism with respect to its properties. Finally, we reprove an important result from the first article, namely that is a non-full monoreflective subcategory of .
