In this note we prove several duality theorems in lattice theory. We also discuss the connection between spectral spaces and Priestley spaces, and interpret Priestley duality in terms of spectral spaces. The organization of this note is as follows. In the first section we collect appropriate definitions and basic results common to many of the various topics. The next four sections consider Birk...

A new axiomatisation for domain and codomain on semirings and Kleene algebras is proposed. It is much simpler, more general and more flexible than a predecessor, and it is particularly suitable for program analysis and program construction via automated deduction. Different algebras of domain elements for distributive lattices, (co-)Heyting algebras and Boolean algebras arise by adapting this a...

In the framework of the topos approach to quantum mechanics we give a representation of physical properties in terms of modal operators on Heyting algebras. It allows us to introduce a classical type study of the mentioned properties.

At present, the filter theory of $BL$textit{-}algebras has been widelystudied, and some important results have been published (see for examplecite{4}, cite{5}, cite{xi}, cite{6}, cite{7}). In other works such ascite{BP}, cite{vii}, cite{xiii}, cite{xvi} a study of a filter theory inthe more general setting of residuated lattices is done, generalizing thatfor $BL$textit{-}algebras. Note that fil...

We give a new order-theoretic characterization of a complete Heyting and co-Heyting algebra C. This result provides an unexpected relationship with the field of Nash equilibria, being based on the so-called Veinott ordering relation on subcomplete sublattices of C, which is crucially used in Topkis’ theorem for studying the order-theoretic stucture of Nash equilibria of supermodular games. Intr...

We prove that there exist profinite Heyting algebras are not isomorphic to the completion of any algebra. This resolves an open problem from 2009. More generally, we characterize those varieties in which completions. It turns out exists largest such. give different characterizations this variety and show it is finitely axiomatizable locally finite. From follows decidable whether a all members I...

This paper investigates connections between algebraic structures that are common in theoretical computer science and algebraic logic. Idempotent semirings are the basis of Kleene algebras, relation algebras, residuated lattices and bunched implication algebras. Extending a result of Chajda and Länger, we show that involutive residuated lattices are determined by a pair of dually isomorphic idem...

Duality theory emerged from the work by Marshall Stone [18] on Boolean algebras and distributive lattices in the 1930s. Later in the early 1970s Larisa Maksimova [10, 11] and Hilary Priestley [15, 16] developed analogous results for Heyting algebras, topological Boolean algebras, and distributive lattices. Duality for bounded, not necessarily distributive lattices, was developed by Alstir Urquh...

We give topological proofs of Görnemann’s adaptation to Heyting algebras of the Rasiowa-Sikorski Lemma for Boolean algebras; and of the Rauszer-Sabalski generalisation of it to distributive lattices. The arguments use the Priestley topology on the set of prime filters, and the Baire category theorem. This is preceded by a discussion of criteria for compactness of various spaces of subsets of a ...
