We give a new characterization of sober spaces in terms of their completely distributive lattice of saturated sets. This characterization is used to extend Abramsky’s results about a domain logic for transition systems. The Lindenbaum algebra generated by the Abramsky finitary logic is a distributive lattice dual to an SFP-domain obtained as a solution of a recursive domain equation. We prove t...

In this paper, the concepts of L-concave structures, concave Linterior operators and concave L-neighborhood systems are introduced. It is shown that the category of L-concave spaces and the category of concave Linterior spaces are isomorphic, and they are both isomorphic to the category of concave L-neighborhood systems whenever L is a completely distributive lattice. Also, it is proved that th...

We provide an extension of the notion of chain-valued frame introduced by Pultr and Rodabaugh in [Category theoretic aspects of chain-valued frames: parts I and II, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 159 (2008) 501–528 and 529–558] by relaxing the assumption that L be a complete chain. As a result of this investigation we formulate the category L-Frm of L-frames under the weaker assumption that L is a comp...

As a generalization of countably C-approximating posets, the concept of countably QC-approximating posets is introduced. With the countably QC-approximating property, some characterizations of generalized completely distributive lattices and generalized countably approximating posets are given. The main results are as follows: (1) a complete lattice is generalized completely distributive if and...

We apply Preuss' concept of $mbbe$-connectedness to the categories of lattice-valued uniform convergence spaces and of lattice-valued uniform spaces. A space is uniformly $mbbe$-connected if the only uniformly continuous mappings from the space to a space in the class $mbbe$ are the constant mappings. We develop the basic theory for $mbbe$-connected sets, including the product theorem. Furtherm...

A lattice L is spatial if every element of L is a join of completely join-irreducible elements of L (points), and strongly spatial if it is spatial and the minimal coverings of completely join-irreducible elements are well-behaved. Herrmann, Pickering, and Roddy proved in 1994 that every modular lattice can be embedded, within its variety, into an algebraic and spatial lattice. We extend this r...

For a distributive lattice L, we consider the problem of interpolating functions f : D → L defined on a finite set D ⊆ L, by means of lattice polynomial functions of L. Two instances of this problem have already been solved. In the case when L is a distributive lattice with least and greatest elements 0 and 1, Goodstein proved that a function f : {0, 1} → L can be interpolated by a lattice poly...
