By the early seventeenth century, about 180 cities, towns and townships in England Wales were administered as self-governing boroughs. In 1615, Bagg's Case, Coke CJ announced that King's...

Given a poset P , the set Γ(P ) of all Scott closed sets ordered by inclusion forms a complete lattice. A subcategory C of Posd (the category of posets and Scott-continuous maps) is said to be Γ-faithful if for any posets P and Q in C, Γ(P ) ∼= Γ(Q) implies P ∼= Q. It is known that the category of all continuous dcpos and the category of bounded complete dcpos are Γ-faithful, while Posd is not....

Given a poset P , the set, Γ(P), of all Scott closed sets ordered by inclusion forms a complete lattice. A subcategory C of Pos d (the category of posets and Scott-continuous maps) is said to be Γ-faithful if for any posets P and Q in C, Γ(P) ∼ = Γ(Q) implies P ∼ = Q. It is known that the category of all continuous dcpos and the category of bounded complete dcpos are Γ-faithful, while Pos d is ...
