Modal compact Hausdorff spaces

Modal De Vries Algebras

We introduce modal de Vries algebras and develop a duality between the category of modal de Vries algebras and the category of coalgebras for the Vietoris functor on compact Hausdorff spaces. This duality serves as a common generalization of de Vries duality between de Vries algebras and compact Hausdorff spaces, and the duality between modal algebras and modal spaces.

The Modal Logic of Stone Spaces: diamond as derivative

We show that if we interpret modal diamond as the derived set operator of a topological space, then the modal logic of Stone spaces is K4 and the modal logic of weakly scattered Stone spaces is K4G. As a corollary, we obtain that K4 is also the modal logic of compact Hausdorff spaces and K4G is the modal logic of weakly scattered compact Hausdorff spaces. §

Modal Operators on Compact Regular Frames and de Vries Algebras

In [7] we introduced the category MKHaus of modal compact Hausdorff spaces, and showed these were concrete realizations of coalgebras for the Vietoris functor on compact Hausdorff spaces, much as modal spaces are coalgebras for the Vietoris functor on Stone spaces. Also in [7] we introduced the categories MKRFrm and MDV of modal compact regular frames, and modal de Vries algebras as algebraic c...

Irreducible Equivalence Relations, Gleason Spaces, and de Vries Duality

By de Vries duality, the category of compact Hausdorff spaces is dually equivalent to the category of de Vries algebras (complete Boolean algebras endowed with a proximity-like relation). We provide an alternative “modal-like” duality by introducing the concept of a Gleason space, which is a pair (X,R), where X is an extremally disconnected compact Hausdorff space and R is an irreducible equiva...
