Profinite algebras are exactly those that are isomorphic to inverse limits of finite algebras. Such algebras are naturally equipped with Boolean topologies. A variety $\mathcal V$ is standard if every Boolean topological algebra with the…

Recently in \cite{FM, FlMo}, the language of MV-algebras was extended by adding a unary operation, an internal operator, called also a state-operator. In \cite{DD1}, a stronger version of state MV-algebras, called state-morphism MV-algebras…

A classical result, the Stone embedding, characterizes profinite sets as totally disconnected, compact Hausdorff spaces. Building on "Pyknotic objects, I. Basic notions", which introduced a derived Stone embedding of the pro-category 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…

Stone's representation theorem asserts a duality between Boolean algebras on the one hand and Stone space, which are compact, Hausdorff, and totally disconnected, on the other. This duality implies a natural isomorphism between the…

From a logical point of view, Stone duality for Boolean algebras relates theories in classical propositional logic and their collections of models. The theories can be seen as presentations of Boolean algebras, and the collections of models…

A common feature of many duality results is that the involved equivalence functors are liftings of hom-functors into the two-element space resp. lattice. Due to this fact, we can only expect dualities for categories cogenerated by the…

Profinite equations are an indispensable tool for the algebraic classification of formal languages. Reiterman's theorem states that they precisely specify pseudovarieties, i.e.~classes of finite algebras closed under finite products,…

We prove a number of dualities between posets and (pseudo)bases of open sets in locally compact Hausdorff spaces. In particular, we show that (1) Relatively compact basic sublattices are finitely axiomatizable. (2) Relatively compact basic…

We show explicitly that Boolean inverse semigroups are in duality with what we term Boolean groupoids. This generalizes the classical Stone duality, which we refer to as commutative Stone duality, between generalized Boolean algebras and…

We prove a categorical duality between a class of abstract algebras of partial functions and a class of (small) topological categories. The algebras are the isomorphs of collections of partial functions closed under the operations of…

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…

Stone duality generalizes to an equivalence between the categories $\mathsf{Stone}^{\mathsf{R}}$ of Stone spaces and closed relations and $\mathsf{BA}^\mathsf{S}$ of boolean algebras and subordination relations. Splitting equivalences in…

We extend Stone duality between generalized Boolean algebras and Boolean spaces, which are the zero-dimensional locally-compact Hausdorff spaces, to a non-commutative setting. We first show that the category of right-handed skew Boolean…

De Vries Duality generalizes Stone duality between Boolean algebras and Stone spaces to a duality between de Vries algebras (complete Boolean algebras equipped with a subordination relation satisfying some axioms) and compact Hausdorff…

The set of all closed subgroups of a profinite carries a natural profinite topology. This space of subgroups can be classified up to homeomorphism in many cases, and tight bounds placed on its complexity as expressed by its scattered…

The sets of closed and closed-normal subgroups of a profinite group carry a natural profinite topology. Through a combination of algebraic and topological methods the size of these subgroup spaces is calculated, and the spaces partially…

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…

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…
