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…

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…

In this notebook, I present duality theory (or theories) of abelian groups with some categorical and categorical topological flavour. I consider writing this notebook as a longer-term project, and its current content and presentation is…

The term Stone-type duality often refers to a dual equivalence between a category of lattices or other partially ordered structures on one side and a category of topological structures on the other. This paper is part of a larger endeavour…

Our main result is that any topological algebra based on a Boolean space is the extended Stone dual space of a certain associated Boolean algebra with additional operations. A particular case of this result is that the profinite completion…

We extend the duality theory for topological groups from the classical theory for compact Lie groups, via the topological study by J. R. Klein [Kl01] and the p-complete study for p-compact groups by T. Bauer [Ba04], to a general 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…

Rational discrete cohomology and homology for a totally disconnected locally compact group $G$ is introduced and studied. The $\mathrm{Hom}$-$\otimes$ identities associated to the rational discrete bimodule $\mathrm{Bi}(G)$ allow to…

Greenlees and Sadofsky showed that the classifying spaces of finite groups are self-dual with respect to Morava K-theory K(n). Their duality map was constructed using a transfer map. We generalize their duality map and prove a K(n)-version…

We introduce a notion of entropy for automorphisms of discrete groups which admit amenable actions on a compact space. This entropy is dual to classical topological entropy in the sense that if G is discrete and abelian then our notion of…

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…

We study extensions of double groupoids in the sense of \cite{AN2} and show some classical results of group theory extensions in the case of double groupoids. For it, given a double groupoid $(\mathcal{B}; \mathcal{V},\mathcal{H};…

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…

If k is an arbitrary field, we construct a category of k-1-motives in which every commutative algebraic k-group G has a dual object $G^{\vee}$. When k is a local field of arbitrary characteristic, we establish Pontryagin duality theorems…

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…
