Directed Sets and Topological Spaces Definable in O-Minimal Structures
Directed sets and topological spaces definable in o-minimal structures. Pablo And´ujarGuerrero∗ Margaret E. M. Thomas ∗ Erik Walsbergy 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 03C64 (Primary), 54A20, 54A05, 54D30 (Secondary). Key words. o-minimality, directed sets, definable topological spaces. Abstract We study directed sets definable in o-minimal structures, show- ing that in expansions of ordered fields these admit cofinal definable curves, as well as a suitable analogue in expansions of ordered groups, and furthermore that no analogue holds in full generality. We use the theory of tame pairs to extend the results in the field case to definable families of sets with the finite intersection property. We then apply our results to the study of definable topologies. We prove that all de- finable topological spaces display properties akin to first countability, and give several characterizations of a notion of definable compactness due to Peterzil and Steinhorn [PS99] generalized to this setting. 1 Introduction The study of objects definable in o-minimal structures is motivated by the notion that o-minimality provides a rich but \tame" setting for the theories of said objects. In this paper we study directed sets definable in o-minimal structures, focusing on expansions of groups and fields. By \directed set" we mean a preordered set in which every finite subset has a lower (if downward ∗Department of Mathematics, Purdue University, 150 N.

Scott Spaces and the Dcpo Category
SCOTT SPACES AND THE DCPO CATEGORY JORDAN BROWN Abstract. Directed-complete partial orders (dcpo’s) arise often in the study of λ-calculus. Here we investigate certain properties of dcpo’s and the Scott spaces they induce. We introduce a new construction which allows for the canonical extension of a partial order to a dcpo and give a proof that the dcpo introduced by Zhao, Xi, and Chen is well-filtered. Contents 1.

Namely, they are often used to construct models for λ theories. There are several versions of the λ-calculus, all of which attempt to describe the ‘computable’ functions. The first robust descriptions of λ-calculus appeared around the same time as the definition of Turing machines, and Turing’s paper introducing computing machines includes a proof that his computable functions are precisely the λ-definable ones [5] [8]. Though we do not address the λ-calculus directly here, an exposition of certain λ theories and the construction of Scott space models for them can be found in [1]. In these models, computable functions correspond to continuous functions with respect to the Scott topology. It is thus with an eye to the application of topological tools in the study of computability that we investigate the Scott topology. -
Topological Duality and Lattice Expansions Part I: a Topological Construction of Canonical Extensions
TOPOLOGICAL DUALITY AND LATTICE EXPANSIONS PART I: A TOPOLOGICAL CONSTRUCTION OF CANONICAL EXTENSIONS M. ANDREW MOSHIER AND PETER JIPSEN 1. INTRODUCTION The two main objectives of this paper are (a) to prove topological duality theorems for semilattices and bounded lattices, and (b) to show that the topological duality from (a) provides a construction of canonical extensions of bounded lattices. The paper is first of two parts. The main objective of the sequel is to establish a characterization of lattice expansions, i.e., lattices with additional operations, in the topological setting built in this paper. Regarding objective (a), consider the following simple question: Is there a subcategory of Top that is dually equivalent to Lat? Here, Top is the category of topological spaces and continuous maps and Lat is the category of bounded lattices and lattice homomorphisms. To date, the question has been answered positively either by specializing Lat or by generalizing Top. The earliest examples are of the former sort. Tarski [Tar29] (treated in English, e.g., in [BD74]) showed that every complete atomic Boolean lattice is represented by a powerset. Taking some historical license, we can say this result shows that the category of complete atomic Boolean lattices with complete lat- tice homomorphisms is dually equivalent to the category of discrete topological spaces. Birkhoff [Bir37] showed that every finite distributive lattice is represented by the lower sets of a finite partial order. Again, we can now say that this shows that the category of finite distributive lattices is dually equivalent to the category of finite T0 spaces and con- tinuous maps. -

PETER LOTH (*) ABSTRACT - In this note, we prove that in a Hausdorff topological abelian group, the closed subgroup generated by all compact elements is equal to the closed sub group generated by all compact elements which are topologically p-torsion for some prime p. In particular, this yields a new, short solution to a question raised by Armacost [A]. Using Pontrjagin duality, we obtain new descriptions of the identity component of a locally compact abelian group. 1. Introduction. All considered groups in this paper are Hausdorff topological abelian groups and will be written additively. Let us establish notation and ter minology. The set of all natural numbers is denoted by N, and P is the set of all primes. -
T0 Topological Spaces and T0 Posets in the Topos of M-Sets
Theory and Applications of Categories, Vol. 33, No. 34, 2018, pp. 1059{1071. T0 TOPOLOGICAL SPACES AND T0 POSETS IN THE TOPOS OF M-SETS M.M. EBRAHIMI, M. MAHMOUDI, AND A.H. NEJAH Abstract. In this paper, we introduce the concept of a topological space in the topos M-Set of M-sets, for a monoid M. We do this by replacing the notion of open \subset" by open \subobject" in the definition of a topology. We prove that the resulting category has an open subobject classifier, which is the counterpart of the Sierpinski space in this topos. We also study the relation between the given notion of topology and the notion of a poset in this universe. In fact, the counterpart of the specialization pre-order is given for topological spaces in M-Set, and it is shown that, similar to the classic case, for a special kind of topological spaces in M-Set, namely T0 ones, it is a partial order. Furthermore, we obtain the universal T0 space, and give the adjunction between topological spaces and T0 posets, in M-Set. 1. Introduction Topoi are categories which behave like the category Set, of sets and functions between them. Naturally one tries to reconstruct the classical mathematics in such categories. The difference between classical mathematics and topos base mathematics is that the latter is in some sense constructive. In fact, the internal logic of a topos is intuitionistic, and so topoi provide a convenient set up for constructive mathematics. One of the most important features of constructive mathematics is in computer science and semantic of programing languages. -
Z-Continuous Posets
DISCRETE MATHEMATICS ELSEVIERI Discrete Mathematics 152 (1996) 33-45 Z-continuous posets Andrei Baranga Department ofMathematics, University ofBucharest, Str. Academiei 14, 70109, Bucharest, Romania Received 19 July 1994 Abstract The concept of 'subset system on the category Po of posets (Z-sets) was defined by Wright, Wagner and Thatcher in 1978. The term Z-set becomes meaningful if we replace Z by 'directed', 'chain', 'finite'. At the end of the paper (Wright et al. 1978), the authors suggested an attempt to study the generalized counterpart of the term 'continuous poset (lattice)' obtained by replacing directed sets by Z-sets, Z being an arbitary subset system on Po. We present here some results concerning this investigation. These results are generalized counterparts of some purely order theoretical facts about continuous posets. Keywords: Poset; Subset system; Z-set; Continuous poset; Continuous lattice; Algebraic poset; Algebraic lattice; Moore family; Closure operator; Ideal; Z-inductive poset Introduction The concept of 'subset system on the category Po of posets' (Z-sets) was defined by Wright et al. in [12]. The term Z-set becomes meaningful if we replace Z by 'directed', 'chain', 'finite', etc. On the other hand, the concept of continuous lattice was defined by Scott in [9] in a topological manner as a mathematical tool in computation theory (see [10, 11]) although it has appeared in other fields of mathematics as well, such as general topology, analysis, algebra, category theory, logic and topological algebra (see [4]), This concept was defined later in purely order theoretical terms (see [8]) and now this definition has became the one used in almost all references. -
Limits Commutative Algebra May 11 2020 1. Direct Limits Definition 1
Limits Commutative Algebra May 11 2020 1. Direct Limits Definition 1: A directed set I is a set with a partial order ≤ such that for every i; j 2 I there is k 2 I such that i ≤ k and j ≤ k. Let R be a ring. A directed system of R-modules indexed by I is a collection of R modules fMi j i 2 Ig with a R module homomorphisms µi;j : Mi ! Mj for each pair i; j 2 I where i ≤ j, such that (i) for any i 2 I, µi;i = IdMi and (ii) for any i ≤ j ≤ k in I, µi;j ◦ µj;k = µi;k. We shall denote a directed system by a tuple (Mi; µi;j). The direct limit of a directed system is defined using a universal property. It exists and is unique up to a unique isomorphism. Theorem 2 (Direct limits). Let fMi j i 2 Ig be a directed system of R modules then there exists an R module M with the following properties: (i) There are R module homomorphisms µi : Mi ! M for each i 2 I, satisfying µi = µj ◦ µi;j whenever i < j. (ii) If there is an R module N such that there are R module homomorphisms νi : Mi ! N for each i and νi = νj ◦µi;j whenever i < j; then there exists a unique R module homomorphism ν : M ! N, such that νi = ν ◦ µi. The module M is unique in the sense that if there is any other R module M 0 satisfying properties (i) and (ii) then there is a unique R module isomorphism µ0 : M ! M 0. -
Completeness and Compact Generation in Partially Ordered Sets
Available online at www.isr-publications.com/jmcs J. Math. Computer Sci. 16 (2016), 69{76 Research Article Completeness and compact generation in partially ordered sets A. Vaezia, V. Kharatb aDepartment of Mathematics, University of Mazandaran, P. O. Box 95447, Babolsar, Iran. bDepartment of Mathematics, University of Pune, Pune 411007, India. Abstract In this paper we introduce a notion of density in posets in a more general fashion. We also introduce completeness in posets and study compact generation in posets based on such completeness and density. c 2016 All rights reserved. Keywords: U-density, U-complete poset, U-compactly generated poset, U-regular interval. 1. Introduction We begin with the necessary definitions and terminologies in a poset P . An element x of a poset P is an upper bound of A ⊆ P if a ≤ x for all a 2 A. A lower bound is defined dually. The set of all upper bounds of A is denoted by Au (read as, A upper cone), where Au = fx 2 P : x ≤ a for every a 2 Ag and dually, we have the concept of a lower cone Al of A. If P contains a finite number of elements, it is called a finite poset. A subset A of a poset P is called a chain if all the elements of A are comparable. A poset P is said to be of length n, where n is a natural number, if there is a chain in P of length n and all chains in P are of length n. A poset P is of finite length if it is of length n for some natural number n. -
ORDER-TOPOLOGICAL LATTICES ' by MARCEL ERNE
ORDER-TOPOLOGICAL LATTICES ' by MARCEL ERNE (Received 31 October, 1978) 1. Introduction and basic concepts. The observation that convergence of real sequ- ences may be defined in terms of limits inferior and limits superior as by means of neighbourhoods in the Euclidean topology leads to the question: for which lattices does order convergence coincide with convergence in the order topology? This problem has been attacked by D. C. Kent [10], A. Gingras [7] and others. We hope to present a satisfactory solution in this paper. Although there are known several characterizations of lattices, with topological order convergence (cf. Propositions 1, 2), an evaluation of these criteria already requires some knowledge of the order topology of the given lattice. In the i present paper, we establish a purely lattice-theoretical description of those lattices for which order convergence is not only topological, but moreover, the lattice operations are continuous. Henceforth, such lattices will be referred to as order-topological lattices. All convergence statements will be formulated in terms of filters rather than nets. For an introduction to convergence functions, the reader may consult D. C. Kents's paper [9]. Let L be any lattice, partially ordered by an order relation <. For a subset Y of L, let Yl and YT denote the set of all lower and upper bounds for Y, respectively. If x is the join (i.e. the least upper bound) of Y then we indicate this by the symbol x = V Y. Similarly, we write x = A, Y if x is the meet (i.e. the greatest lower bound) of Y. -
Extra Examples for “Scott Continuity in Generalized Probabilistic Theories”
Extra Examples for “Scott Continuity in Generalized Probabilistic Theories” Robert Furber May 27, 2020 1 Introduction The purpose of this note is to draw out some counterexamples using the con- struction described in [9]. In Section 3 we show that there is an order-unit space A such that there exist 2@0 pairwise non-isometric base-norm spaces E such that A =∼ E∗ as order-unit spaces. This contrasts with the case of C∗-algebras, where if there is a predual (and therefore the C∗-algebra is a W∗-algebra), it is unique. In Section 4 we show that there is a base-norm space E, whose dual order- unit space A = E∗ is therefore bounded directed-complete, such that there is a Scott-continuous unital map f : A ! A that is not the adjoint of any linear map g : E ! E. Again, this contrasts with the situation for W∗-algebras, where Scott-continuous maps A ! B correspond to adjoints of linear maps between preduals B∗ ! A∗. In Section 5 we show that there are base-norm and order- unit spaces E such that E =∼ E∗∗, but the evaluation mapping E ! E∗∗ is not an isomorphism, i.e. E is not reflexive, using an example of R. C. James from Banach space theory. In Section 6 we use an example due to J. W. Roberts to show that there are base-norm spaces E admitting Hausdorff vectorial topologies in which the base and unit ball are compact, but are not dual spaces, and similarly that there are order-unit spaces A admitting Hausdorff vectorial topologies in which the unit interval and unit ball are compact, but are not dual spaces.
