In the study of algebras related to non-classical logics, (distributive) semilattices are always present in the background. For example, the algebraic semantic of the $\{\rightarrow,\wedge,\top\}$-fragment of intuitionistic logic is 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…
This is the written version of a series of lectures reviewing the basics of duality as applied to p-forms and sigma-models. The ideas are introduced by way of worked examples, often quite detailed. Our approach is very pedestrian and the…
We apply Stone duality and model theory to study the structure theory of free pro-aperiodic monoids. Stone duality implies that elements of the free pro-aperiodic monoid may be viewed as elementary equivalence classes of pseudofinite words.…
This paper is a study of first-order coherent logic from the point of view of duality and categorical logic. We prove a duality theorem between coherent hyperdoctrines and open polyadic Priestley spaces, which we subsequently apply to prove…
We discuss generalised duality theory for monoidal categories and its applications to the categories of exact endofunctors, graded vector spaces, and topological vector spaces.
The theory of bounded, distributive lattices provides the appropriate language for describing directionality and asymptotics in dynamical systems. For bounded, distributive lattices the general notion of `set-difference' taking values in a…
In this paper we provide a Stone style duality for monotone semilattices by using the topological duality developed in \cite{Celani2020} for semilattices together with a topological description of their canonical extension. As an…
We establish a topological duality for bounded lattices. The two main features of our duality are that it generalizes Stone duality for bounded distributive lattices, and that the morphisms on either side are not the standard ones. A…
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…
Structures based on polarities have been used to provide relational semantics for propositional logics that are modelled algebraically by non-distributive lattices with additional operators. This article develops a first order notion of…
We develop a common semantic framework for the interpretation both of $\mathbf{IPC}$, the intuitionistic propositional calculus, and of logics weaker than $\mathbf{IPC}$ (substructural and subintuitionistic logics). This is done by proving…
Canonical duality-triality is a breakthrough methodological theory, which can be used not only for modeling complex systems within a unified framework, but also for solving a wide class of challenging problems from real-world applications.…
We have generalised the notion of categorical theory in model theory to the context of coherent theories. We prove a duality result between the full sub-2-category of pretopoi which are categorical, and the 2-category of profinite monoids.…
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…
This is a short survey illustrating some of the essential aspects of the theory of canonical extensions. In addition some topological results about canonical extensions of lattices with additional operations in finitely generated varieties…
This paper is motivated by the desire to study package management using the toolkit of the semantics of functional languages. As it transpires, this is deeply related to the semantics of concurrent computation. The models we produce are not…
In this paper, we investigate a bitopological duality for algebras of Fitting's multi-valued logic. We also extend the natural duality theory for $\mathbb{ISP_I}(\mathcal{L})$ by developing a duality for $\mathbb{ISP}(\mathcal{L})$, where…
In this article we develop a duality principle and concerning computational method for a structural optimization problem in elasticity. We consider the problem of finding the optimal topology for an elastic solid which minimizes its…
Monadic second order logic is the expansion of first order logic by quantifiers ranging over unary relations. We study the shared monadic second order theory of finite linear orders, i.e. the pseudofinite monadic second order theory of…
