A Boolean ring and its Stone space (Boolean space) are primitive if the ring is disjointly generated by its pseudo-indecomposable (PI) elements. Hanf showed that a primitive PI Boolean algebra can be uniquely defined by a structure diagram.…

Earlier an arbitrary poset $P$ was proved to be isomorphic to the collection of subsets of a space $M$ with two closures which are closed in the first closure and open in the other. As a space $M$ for this representation an algebraic dual…

In this paper we prove some new Stone-type duality theorems for some subcategories of the category $\ZLC$ of locally compact zero-dimensional Hausdorff spaces and continuous maps. These theorems are new even in the compact case. They…

Given a complete atomic Boolean algebra, we show there is a commutative BCK-algebra whose ideal lattice is that Boolean algebra. This result is shown to exist within a larger framework involving BCK-algebras of functions, whose ideals and…

We dualize a construction of Aguzzoli-Flaminio-Ugolini of a large class of MTL-algebras from ordered quadruples consisting of a Boolean algebra, a generalized MTL-algebra, and two maps parameterizing the connection between these pieces. Our…

We introduce the Boolean algebra of d-semialgebraic (more generally, d-definable) sets and prove that its Stone space is naturally isomorphic to the Ellis enveloping semigroup of the Stone space of the Boolean algebra of semialgebraic…

In this note, we investigate the algebraic and topological representation theory of cylindric ortholattices and cylindric Boolean algebras. The first contribution demonstrates that cylindric ortholattices are closed under canonical…

We generalize the Boolean power construction to the setting of compact Hausdorff spaces. This is done by replacing Boolean algebras with de Vries algebras (complete Boolean algebras enriched with proximity) and Stone duality with de Vries…

In answer to a question on Mathoverflow we show that the Boolean algebra $\mathcal{P}(\omega)/\mathit{fin}$ contains a family $\{\mathcal{B}_X:X\subseteq\mathfrak{c}\}$ of subalgebras with the property that $X\subseteq Y$ implies…

We study a non-commutative generalization of Stone duality that connects a class of inverse semigroups, called Boolean inverse $\wedge$-semigroups, with a class of topological groupoids, called Hausdorff Boolean groupoids. Much of the paper…

A convexity space is a set X with a chosen family of subsets (called convex subsets) that is closed under arbitrary intersections and directed unions. There is a lot of interest in spaces that have both a convexity space and a topological…

Let $\pi: Y\rightarrow X$ be a continuous surjection between compact Hausdorff spaces $Y$ and $X$ which is irreducible in the sense that if $F\subsetneq Y$ is closed, then $\pi(F)\neq X$. We exhibit isomorphisms between various Boolean…

Information algebras arise from the idea that information comes in pieces which can be aggregated or combined into new pieces, that information refers to questions and that from any piece of information, the part relevant to a given…

The notion of a complete Boolean algebra, although completely legitimate in constructive mathematics, fails to capture some natural structures such as the lattice of subsets of a given set. Sambin's notion of an overlap algebra, although…

Open sets and compact saturated sets enjoy a perfect formal symmetry, at least for classes of spaces such as Stone spaces or spectral spaces. For larger classes of spaces, a perfect symmetry may not be available, although strong signs of it…

The Vietoris space of a Stone space plays an important role in the coalgebraic approach to modal logic. When generalizing this to positive modal logic, there is a variety of relevant hyperspace constructions based on various topologies on a…

The notion of overlap algebra introduced by G. Sambin provides a constructive version of complete Boolean algebra. Here we first show some properties concerning overlap algebras: we prove that the notion of overlap morphism corresponds…

The Boolean algebra of regular closed sets is prominent in topology, particularly as a dual for the Stone-Cech compactification. This algebra is also central for the theory of geometric computation, as a representation for combinatorial…

The goal of this paper is twofold. In addition to the results stated in the next paragraph, we present some classical results on absoluteness relevant to functional analysis that are well known to logicians but not nearly as well advertised…
