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…

Combining ideas coming from Stone duality and Reynolds parametricity, we formulate in a clean and principled way a notion of profinite lambda-term which, we show, generalizes at every type the traditional notion of profinite word coming…

We argue that the finiteness of quantum gravity amplitudes in fully compactified theories (at least in supersymmetric cases) leads to a bottom-up prediction for the existence of non-trivial dualities. In particular, finiteness requires the…

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 show how Stone duality can be extended from maps to relations. This is achieved by working order enriched and defining a relation from A to B as both an order-preserving function from the opposite of A times B to the 2-element chain and…

We introduce a general framework for generating dualities between categories of partial orders and categories of ordered Stone spaces; we recover in particular the classical Priestley duality for distributive lattices and establish several…

In this paper we provide explicit dual Ramsey statements for several classes of finite relational structures (such as finite linearly ordered graphs, finite linearly ordered metric spaces and finite posets with a linear extension) and…

We give multiple descriptions of a topological universe of finitary sets, which can be seen as a natural limit completion of the hereditarily finite sets. This universe is characterized as a metric completion of the hereditarily finite…

The notion of support provides an analogue of Stone duality, relating lattices to topological spaces. This note aims to explain in lattice theoretic terms what has been developed in the context of triangulated categories. In particular, the…

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…
