We propose a new approach to the notion of recognition, which departs from the classical definitions by three specific features. First, it does not rely on automata. Secondly, it applies to any Boolean algebra (BA) of subsets rather than to individual subsets. Thirdly, topology is the key ingredient. We prove the existence of aminimum recognizer in a very general setting which applies in partic...

let $x$ be a sufficiently nice scheme. we survey some recent progress on dualizing complexes. it turns out that a complex in $kinj x$ is dualizing if and only if tensor product with it induces an equivalence of categories from murfet's new category $kmpr x$ to the category $kinj x$. in these terms, it becomes interesting to wonder how to glue such equivalences.

This survey paper presents the success story of the topological approach to automata theory. It is based on profinite topologies, which are built from finite topogical spaces. The survey includes several concrete applications to automata theory. In mathematics, p-adic analysis is a powerful tool of number theory. The p-adic topology is the emblematic example of a profinite topology, a topology ...

For millennia, people have regarded life as being synonymous with breathing. Life begins and ends with breathing. The Bible states that God " breathed into [Adam's] nostrils the breath of life, " and then later used part of Adam's ventilatory apparatus — a rib — to give life to Eve. In the fourth and fifth centuries BC, writings attributed to Hippocrates suggested that the primary purpose of br...

We introduce a new Galois connection for partial operations on a finite set, which induces a natural quasi-order on the collection of all partial algebras on this set. The quasi-order is compatible with the basic concepts of natural duality theory, and we use it to turn the set of all alter egos of a given finite algebra into a doubly algebraic lattice. The Galois connection provides a framewor...
