We define and study a quantale-valued Wijsman structure on the hyperspace of all non-empty closed sets of a quantale-valued metric space. We show its admissibility and that the metrical coreflection coincides with the quantale-valued Hausdorff metric and that, for a metric space, the topological coreflection coincides with the classical Wijsman topology. We further define an index of compactnes...

The starting point of the present study is the interpretation of intuitionistic linear logic in Petri nets proposed by U. Engberg and G. Winskel. We show that several categories of order algebras provide equivalent interpretations of this logic, and identify the category of the so called strongly coherent quantales arising in these interpretations. The equivalence of the interpretations is inti...

We present two applications to AI of recently introduced high level quantum structures. These structures are the categorical quantum logic of (Abramsky & Coecke 2004) and the quantale quantum logic of (Coecke, Moore, & Stubbe 2001). Firstly, we show how the diagrammatic toolkit of categorical quantum logic, when restricted to its pregroup fragment (Lambek 1999; 2001), simplifies analysis of sen...

The term Stone-type duality often refers to a dual equivalence between category of lattices or other partially ordered structures on one side and topological the other. This paper is part larger endeavour that aims extend web dualities from metric and, more generally, quantale-enriched categories. In particular, we improve our previous work show how certain results for categories [ 0 , 1 ] -enr...

The Morita equivalence of m-regular involutive quantales in the context of the theory of Hilbert A-modules is presented. The corresponding fundamental representation theorems are shown. We also prove that two commutative m-regular involutive quantales are Morita equivalent if and only if they are isomorphic. In the paper [5] F. Borceux and E.M. Vitale made a first step in extending the theory o...

The aim of the paper is to work towards a generalisation of coalgebraic logic enriched over a commutative quantale. Previous work has shown how to dualise the coalgebra type functor T : Ω-Cat //Ω-Cat in order to obtain the modal operators and axioms describing transitions of type T . Here we give a logical description of the dual of Ω-Cat.

We combine two research directions of the past decade, namely the development of a lax-algebraic framework for categories of interest to topologists and analysts, and the exploration of key topological concepts, like separation and compactness, in an abstract category which comes equipped with an axiomatic notion “closed” or “proper” map. Hence, we present various candidates for such notions in...
