A frame $L$ is called {it coz-dense} if $Sigma_{coz(alpha)}=emptyset$ implies $alpha=mathbf 0$. Let $mathcal RL$ be the ring of real-valued continuous functions on a coz-dense and completely regular frame $L$. We present a description of the socle of the ring $mathcal RL$ based on minimal ideals of $mathcal RL$ and zero sets in pointfree topology. We show that socle of $mathcal RL$ is an essent...

The pointfree transform offers to the predicate calculus what the Laplace transform offers to the differential/integral calculus: the possibility of changing the underlying mathematical space so as to enable agile algebraic calculation. This paper addresses the foundations of the transform and its application to a calculational approach to extended static checking (ESC) in the context of abstra...

Dynamical algebraic structures, pointfree topological spaces and Hilbert’s program A possible relevant meaning of Hilbert’s program is the following one : “give a constructive semantic for classical mathematics”. More precisely, give a systematic interpretation of classical abstract proofs (that use Third Excluded Middle and Choice) about abstract objects, as constructive proofs about construct...

In pointfree topology, the notion of uniformity in the form of a system of covers was introduced by J. Isbell in [11], and later developed by A. Pultr in [14] and [15]. Another equivalent notion of locale uniformity was given by P. Fletcher and W. Hunsaker in [6], which they called “entourage uniformity”. The purpose of this paper is to formulate and investigate an alternative definition of ent...

We describe an implementation in type theory of a proof of a pointfree formulation of the Heine Borel covering theorem for intervals with rational endpoints

We give several internal and external characterizations of pseudocompactness in frames which extend (and transcend) analogous characterizations in topological spaces. In the case of internal characterizations we do not make reference (explicitly or implicitly) to the reals.
