We extend the classical Stone duality between zero dimensional compact Hausdorff spaces and Boolean algebras. Specifically, we simultaneously remove the zero dimensionality restriction and extend to \'etale groupoids, obtaining a duality…

In the context of categorical topology, more precisely that of T-categories [Hofmann, 2007], we define the notion of T-colimit as a particular colimit in a V-category. A complete and cocomplete V-category in which limits distribute over…

We prove that double dualization into the generic algebra for an algebraic theory has some Gelfand- or Stone- duality properties

We show that, if S is a finite semiring, then the free profinite S-semimodule on a Boolean Stone space X is isomorphic to the algebra of all S-valued measures on X, which are finitely additive maps from the Boolean algebra of clopens of X…

In this paper we take some classical ideas from commutative algebra, mostly ideas involving duality, and apply them in algebraic topology. To accomplish this we interpret properties of ordinary commutative rings in such a way that they can…

Starting from Boolean algebras of languages closed under quotients and using duality theoretic insights, we derive the notion of Boolean spaces with internal monoids as recognisers for arbitrary formal languages of finite words over finite…

Stone-type dualities provide a powerful mathematical framework for studying properties of logical systems. They have recently been fruitfully explored in understanding minimisation of various types of automata. In Bezhanishvili et al.…

We prove a new duality theorem for the category of precontact algebras which implies the Stone Duality Theorem, its connected version obtained in arXiv:1508.02220v3, 1-44 (to appear in Topology Appl.), the recent duality theorems of…

We display a family of Stone-type dualities linking categories of frames carrying pairs of modal operators to categories of spaces carrying a binary relation. Different notions of morphism used on the relational side lead to significant…

We revisit the problem of Stone duality for lattices with various quasioperators, first studied in [14], presenting a fresh duality result. The new result is an improvement over that of [14] in two important respects. First, the…

Macaulay Duality, between quotients of a polynomial ring over a field, annihilated by powers of the variables, and finitely generated submodules of the ring's graded dual, is generalized over any Noetherian ring, and used to provide…

We study commutative algebras with Gorenstein duality, i.e. algebras $A$ equipped with a non-degenerate bilinear pairing such that $\langle ac,b\rangle=\langle a,bc\rangle$ for any $a,b,c\in A$. If an algebra $A$ is Artinian, such pairing…

We extend Yosida's 1941 version of Stone-Gelfand duality to metrically complete unital lattice-ordered groups that are no longer required to be real vector spaces. This calls for a generalised notion of compact Hausdorff space whose points…
