Taking advantage of the quantale-theoretic description \'etale groupoids we study principal bundles, Hilsum-Skandalis maps, and Morita equivalence in terms modules on inverse quantal frames. The Hilbert module quantale sheaves leads naturally to a formulation bimodules that resemble imprimitivity C*-algebras.

When replacing the non-negative real numbers with their addition by a commutative quantale V, under a metric lens one may then view small V-categories as sets that come with a V-valued distance function. The ensuing category V-Cat is well known to be a concrete topological category that is symmetric monoidal closed. In this paper we show which concrete symmetric monoidalclosed topological categ...

Our work is a foundational study of the notion of approximation inQ-categories and in (U,Q)-categories, for a quantale Q and the ultrafilter monad U. We introduce auxiliary, approximating and Scott-continuous distributors, the way-below distributor, and continuity of Qand (U,Q)-categories. We fully characterize continuous Q-categories (resp. (U,Q)-categories) among all cocomplete Q-categories (...

We show that for a commutative quantale V every functor Set −→ V -cat has an enriched leftKan extension. As a consequence, coalgebras over Set are subsumed by coalgebras over V -cat. Moreover, one can build functors on V -cat by equipping Set-functors with a metric. 1998 ACM Subject Classification F.4.1 Mathematical Logic

We study functorial properties of the quantale spectrum MaxA of an arbitrary unital C*-algebra A. In particular we show that the spatialization of MaxA with respect to one of the notions of spatiality in the literature yields the locale of closed ideals of A when A is commutative. We study under general conditions functors with this property, in addition requiring that inductive limits be prese...

We consider compatible group structures on a V -category, where is quantale, and we study the topological algebraic properties of such groups. Examples are preordered groups, metric ultrametric probabilistic (ultra)metric In particular, show that, when frame, symmetric -groups satisfy very strong categorical-algebraic properties, typical category form protomodular category.

In this paper, we characterize explicitly the separation properties $T_0$ and $T_1$ at a point p in topological category of quantale-valued preordered spaces investigate how these characterizations are related. Moreover, prove that local hereditary productive.

In this communication we generalize some recent results of Rump to categories enriched in a commutative quantale V. Using these results, show that every quantale-enriched multicategory admits an injective hull. Finally, expose connection between the Isbell adjunction and construction hulls for topological spaces made by Banaschewski 1973.

For a quantaloid Q, considered as a bicategory, Walters introduced categories enriched in Q. Here we extend the study of monad-quantale-enriched categories of the past fifteen years by introducing monad-quantaloid-enriched categories. We do so by making lax distributive laws of a monad T over the discrete presheaf monad of the small quantaloid Q the primary data of the theory, rather than the l...
