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…

The regular open subsets of a topological space form a Boolean algebra, where the `join' of two regular open sets is the interior of the closure of their union. A `credence' is a finitely additive probability measure on this Boolean…

Stone duality establishes a contravariant equivalence between the category of Boolean algebras and the category of compact, Hausdorff, totally disconnected topological spaces (Stone spaces). These spaces are precisely the profinite spaces…

Profinite algebras are the residually finite compact algebras; their underlying topological spaces are Stone spaces. We extend the theory of profinite algebras to a more general setting of Stone topological algebras. We introduce Stone…

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…

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…

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…

Associating to each pre-order on the indices 1,...,n the corresponding structural matrix ring, or incidence algebra, embeds the lattice of n-element pre-orders into the lattice of n x n matrix rings. Rings within the order-convex hull of…

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.…

Let $\mathcal{R}$ be a commutative ring with unity, and let $P$ be a locally finite poset. The aim of the paper is to provide an explicit description of the additive biderivations of the incidence algebra $I(P, \mathcal{R})$. We demonstrate…

Let $P$ be a set of points and $L$ a set of lines in the (extended) Euclidean plane, and $I \subseteq P\times L$, where $i =(p,l) \in I$ means that point $p$ and line $l$ are incident. The incidences can be interpreted as quadratic…

Stone space partitions $\{X_{p}\mid p\in P\}$ satisfying conditions like $\bar{X_{p}}=\bigcup_{q\leqslant p}X_{q}$ for all $p\in P$, where $P$ is a poset or PO system (poset with a distinguished subset), arise naturally in the study both of…

Persistence modules are a central algebraic object arising in topological data analysis. The notion of interleaving provides a natural way to measure distances between persistence modules. We consider various classes of persistence modules,…

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…

The standard topological representation of a Boolean algebra via the clopen sets of a Stone space requires a nonconstructive choice principle, equivalent to the Boolean Prime Ideal Theorem. In this paper, we describe a choice-free…

We fully characterize regular Hom-Lie structures on the incidence algebra $I(X,K)$ of a finite connected poset $X$ over a field $K$. We prove that such a structure is the sum of a central-valued linear map annihilating the Jacobson radical…

For a non-empty set $X$, the collection $Top(X)$ of all topologies on $X$ sits inside the Boolean lattice $\PP(\PP(X))$ (when ordered by set-theoretic inclusion) which in turn can be naturally identified with the Stone space $\px$. Via this…

The paper studies computability-theoretic aspects of topological $T_0$-spaces. We introduce effective versions of the notions of a countable $c$-poset and a (second-countable) topological space with base. Based on this, we prove an…

The topology of a space $X$ is generated by a family $\mathcal{C}$ of its subsets provided that a set $A\subseteq X$ is closed in $X$ if and only if $A\cap C$ is closed in $C$ for each $C\in \mathcal{C}$. A space $X$ is a $k$-space…

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…
