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. -
Certain Ideals Related to the Strong Measure Zero Ideal
数理解析研究所講究録 第 1595 巻 2008 年 37-46 37 Certain ideals related to the strong measure zero ideal 大阪府立大学理学系研究科 大須賀昇 (Noboru Osuga) Graduate school of Science, Osaka Prefecture University 1 Motivation and Basic Definition In 1919, Borel[l] introduced the new class of Lebesgue measure zero sets called strong measure zero sets today. The family of all strong measure zero sets become $\sigma$-ideal and is called the strong measure zero ideal. The four cardinal invariants (the additivity, covering number, uniformity and cofinal- ity) related to the strong measure zero ideal have been studied. In 2002, Yorioka[2] obtained the results about the cofinality of the strong measure zero ideal. In the process, he introduced the ideal $\mathcal{I}_{f}$ for each strictly increas- ing function $f$ on $\omega$ . The ideal $\mathcal{I}_{f}$ relates to the structure of the real line. We are interested in how the cardinal invariants of the ideal $\mathcal{I}_{f}$ behave. $Ma\dot{i}$ly, we te interested in the cardinal invariants of the ideals $\mathcal{I}_{f}$ . In this paper, we deal the consistency problems about the relationship between the cardi- nal invariants of the ideals $\mathcal{I}_{f}$ and the minimam and supremum of cardinal invariants of the ideals $\mathcal{I}_{g}$ for all $g$ . We explain some notation which we use in this paper. Our notation is quite standard. And we refer the reader to [3] and [4] for undefined notation. For sets X and $Y$, we denote by $xY$ the set of all functions $homX$ to Y. -
Distributive Envelopes and Topological Duality for Lattices Via Canonical Extensions
DISTRIBUTIVE ENVELOPES AND TOPOLOGICAL DUALITY FOR LATTICES VIA CANONICAL EXTENSIONS MAI GEHRKE AND SAM VAN GOOL Abstract. We establish a topological duality for bounded lattices. The two main features of our duality are that it generalizes Stone duality for bounded distributive lattices, and that the morphisms on either side are not the stan- dard ones. A positive consequence of the choice of morphisms is that those on the topological side are functional. In the course of the paper, we obtain the following results: (1) canoni- cal extensions of bounded lattices are the algebraic versions of the existing dualities for bounded lattices by Urquhart and Hartung, (2) there is a univer- sal construction which associates to an arbitrary lattice two distributive lattice envelopes with an adjoint pair between them, and (3) we give a topological du- ality for bounded lattices which generalizes Priestley duality and which shows precisely which maps between bounded lattices admit functional duals. For the result in (1), we rely on previous work of Gehrke, J´onssonand Harding. For the universal construction in (2), we modify a construction of the injective hull of a semilattice by Bruns and Lakser, adjusting their concept of `admis- sibility' to the finitary case. For (3), we use Priestley duality for distributive lattices and our universal characterization of the distributive envelopes. 1. Introduction Topological duality for Boolean algebras [22] and distributive lattices [23] is a useful tool for studying relational semantics for propositional logics. Canonical extensions [16, 17, 11, 10] provide a way of looking at these semantics algebraically. In the absence of a satisfactory topological duality, canonical extensions have been used [3] to treat relational semantics for substructural logics. -
COVERING PROPERTIES of IDEALS 1. Introduction We Will Discuss The
COVERING PROPERTIES OF IDEALS MAREK BALCERZAK, BARNABAS´ FARKAS, AND SZYMON GLA¸B Abstract. M. Elekes proved that any infinite-fold cover of a σ-finite measure space by a sequence of measurable sets has a subsequence with the same property such that the set of indices of this subsequence has density zero. Applying this theorem he gave a new proof for the random-indestructibility of the density zero ideal. He asked about other variants of this theorem concerning I-almost everywhere infinite-fold covers of Polish spaces where I is a σ-ideal on the space and the set of indices of the required subsequence should be in a fixed ideal J on !. We introduce the notion of the J-covering property of a pair (A;I) where A is a σ- algebra on a set X and I ⊆ P(X) is an ideal. We present some counterexamples, discuss the category case and the Fubini product of the null ideal N and the meager ideal M. We investigate connections between this property and forcing-indestructibility of ideals. We show that the family of all Borel ideals J on ! such that M has the J- covering property consists exactly of non weak Q-ideals. We also study the existence of smallest elements, with respect to Katˇetov-Blass order, in the family of those ideals J on ! such that N or M has the J-covering property. Furthermore, we prove a general result about the cases when the covering property \strongly" fails. 1. Introduction We will discuss the following result due to Elekes [8]. -

Bitopological Duality for Distributive Lattices and Heyting Algebras
BITOPOLOGICAL DUALITY FOR DISTRIBUTIVE LATTICES AND HEYTING ALGEBRAS GURAM BEZHANISHVILI, NICK BEZHANISHVILI, DAVID GABELAIA, ALEXANDER KURZ Abstract. We introduce pairwise Stone spaces as a natural bitopological generalization of Stone spaces—the duals of Boolean algebras—and show that they are exactly the bitopolog- ical duals of bounded distributive lattices. The category PStone of pairwise Stone spaces is isomorphic to the category Spec of spectral spaces and to the category Pries of Priestley spaces. In fact, the isomorphism of Spec and Pries is most naturally seen through PStone by first establishing that Pries is isomorphic to PStone, and then showing that PStone is isomorphic to Spec. We provide the bitopological and spectral descriptions of many alge- braic concepts important for the study of distributive lattices. We also give new bitopological and spectral dualities for Heyting algebras, co-Heyting algebras, and bi-Heyting algebras, thus providing two new alternatives of Esakia’s duality. 1. Introduction It is widely considered that the beginning of duality theory was Stone’s groundbreaking work in the mid 30ies on the dual equivalence of the category Bool of Boolean algebras and Boolean algebra homomorphism and the category Stone of compact Hausdorff zero- dimensional spaces, which became known as Stone spaces, and continuous functions. In 1937 Stone [28] extended this to the dual equivalence of the category DLat of bounded distributive lattices and bounded lattice homomorphisms and the category Spec of what later became known as spectral spaces and spectral maps. Spectral spaces provide a generalization of Stone 1 spaces. Unlike Stone spaces, spectral spaces are not Hausdorff (not even T1) , and as a result, are more difficult to work with. -

Lattice Duality: the Origin of Probability and Entropy
, 1 Lattice Duality: The Origin of Probability and Entropy Kevin H. Knuth NASA Ames Research Center, Mail Stop 269-3, Moffett Field CA 94035-1000, USA Abstract Bayesian probability theory is an inference calculus, which originates from a gen- eralization of inclusion on the Boolean lattice of logical assertions to a degree of inclusion represented by a real number. Dual to this lattice is the distributive lat- tice of questions constructed from the ordered set of down-sets of assertions, which forms the foundation of the calculus of inquiry-a generalization of information theory. In this paper we introduce this novel perspective on these spaces in which machine learning is performed and discuss the relationship between these results and several proposed generalizations of information theory in the literature. Key words: probability, entropy, lattice, information theory, Bayesian inference, inquiry PACS: 1 Introduction It has been known for some time that probability theory can be derived as a generalization of Boolean implication to degrees of implication repre- sented by real numbers [11,12]. Straightforward consistency requirements dic- tate the form of the sum and product rules of probability, and Bayes’ thee rem [11,12,47,46,20,34],which forms the basis of the inferential calculus, also known as inductive inference. However, in machine learning applications it is often times more useful to rely on information theory [45] in the design of an algorithm. On the surface, the connection between information theory and probability theory seems clear-information depends on entropy and entropy Email address: kevin.h. [email protected] (Kevin H. -
Ordinal Numbers and the Well-Ordering Theorem Ken Brown, Cornell University, September 2013
Mathematics 4530 Ordinal numbers and the well-ordering theorem Ken Brown, Cornell University, September 2013 The ordinal numbers form an extension of the natural numbers. Here are the first few of them: 0; 1; 2; : : : ; !; ! + 1;! + 2;:::;! + ! =: !2;!2 + 1;:::;!3;:::;!2;:::: They go on forever. As soon as some initial segment of ordinals has been con- structed, a new one is adjoined that is bigger than all of them. The theory of ordinals is closely related to the theory of well-ordered sets (see Section 10 of Munkres). Recall that a simply ordered set X is said to be well- ordered if every nonempty subset Y has a smallest element, i.e., an element y0 such that y0 ≤ y for all y 2 Y . For example, the following sets are well-ordered: ;; f1g ; f1; 2g ; f1; 2; : : : ; ng ; f1; 2;::: g ; f1; 2;:::;!g ; f1; 2; : : : ; !; ! + 1g : On the other hand, Z is not well-ordered in its natural ordering. As the list of examples suggests, constructing arbitrarily large well-ordered sets is essentially the same as constructing the system of ordinal numbers. Rather than taking the time to develop the theory of ordinals, we will concentrate on well-ordered sets in what follows. Notation. In dealing with ordered sets in what follows we will often use notation such as X<x := fy 2 X j y < xg : A set of the form X<x is called a section of X. Well-orderings are useful because they allow proofs by induction: Induction principle. Let X be a well-ordered set and let Y be a subset. -
Cofinality of the Nonstationary Ideal 0
TRANSACTIONS OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 357, Number 12, Pages 4813–4837 S 0002-9947(05)04007-9 Article electronically published on June 29, 2005 COFINALITY OF THE NONSTATIONARY IDEAL PIERRE MATET, ANDRZEJ ROSLANOWSKI, AND SAHARON SHELAH Abstract. We show that the reduced cofinality of the nonstationary ideal NSκ on a regular uncountable cardinal κ may be less than its cofinality, where the reduced cofinality of NSκ is the least cardinality of any family F of nonsta- tionary subsets of κ such that every nonstationary subset of κ can be covered by less than κ many members of F. For this we investigate connections of κ the various cofinalities of NSκ with other cardinal characteristics of κ and we also give a property of forcing notions (called manageability) which is pre- served in <κ–support iterations and which implies that the forcing notion preserves non-meagerness of subsets of κκ (and does not collapse cardinals nor changes cofinalities). 0. Introduction Let κ be a regular uncountable cardinal. For C ⊆ κ and γ ≤ κ,wesaythatγ is a limit point of C if (C ∩ γ)=γ>0. C is closed unbounded if C is a cofinal subset of κ containing all its limit points less than κ.AsetA ⊆ κ is nonstationary if A is disjoint from some closed unbounded subset C of κ. The nonstationary subsets of κ form an ideal on κ denoted by NSκ.Thecofinality of this ideal, cof(NSκ), is the least cardinality of a family F of nonstationary subsets of κ such that every nonstationary subset of κ is contained in a member of F.Thereduced cofinality of NSκ, cof(NSκ), is the least cardinality of a family F⊆NSκ such that every nonstationary subset of κ can be covered by less than κ many members of F.This paper addresses the question of whether cof(NSκ)=cof(NSκ). -
The Dynamics of Duality: a Fresh Look at the Philosophy of Duality
数理解析研究所講究録 77 第2050巻 2017年 77-99 The Dynamics of Duality: A Fresh Look at the Philosophy of Duality Yoshihiro Maruyama The Hakubi Centre and Graduate School of Letters, Kyoto University Mathematical, Physical, and Life Sciences Division, University of Oxford [\mathrm{T}]\mathrm{h}\mathrm{e} development of philosophy since the Renaissance has by and large gone from right to left Particularly in physics, this development has reached a peak in our own time, in that, to a large extent, the possibility of knowledge of the objectivisable states of affairs is denied, and it is asserted that we must be content to predict results of observations. This is really the end of all theo‐ retical science in the usual sense (Kurt Gödel, The modern development of the foundations of mathematics in the light of philosophy, lecture never delivered)1 1 Unity, Disunity, and Pluralistic Unity Since the modernist killing of natural philosophy seeking a universal conception of the cosmos as a united whole, our system of knowledge has been optimised for the sake of each particular domain, and has accordingly been massively fragmented and disenchanted (in terms of Webers theory of modernity). Today we lack a unified view of the world, living in the age of disunity surrounded by myriads of uncertainties and contingencies, which invade both science and society as exemplified by different sciences of chance, including quantum theory and artificial intelligence on the basis of statistical machine learning, and by the distinctively after‐modern features of risk society (in terms of the theories of late/reflexive/liquid modermity), respectively (this is not necessarily negative like quite some people respect diversity more than uniformity; contemporary art, for example, gets a lot of inspirations from uncertainties and contingencies out there in nature and society). -

The Zariski topology: the underlying topological space of an affine scheme 5 3. Topological definitions 8 Last day: inverse image sheaf; sheaves on a base; toward schemes; the underlying set of an affine scheme. 1. MORE EXAMPLES OF THE UNDERLYING SETS OF AFFINE SCHEMES We are in the midst of discussing the underlying set of an affine scheme. We are looking at examples and learning how to draw pictures. 2 Example 7: AC = Spec C[x; y]. (As with Examples 1 and 2, discussion will apply with C replaced by any algebraically closed field.) Sadly, C[x; y] is not a Principal Ideal Domain: (x; y) is not a principal ideal. We can quickly name some prime ideals. One is (0), which has the same flavor as the (0) ideals in the previous examples. (x - 2; y - 3) is prime, and indeed maximal, because C[x; y]=(x - 2; y - 3) =∼ C, where this isomorphism is via f(x; y) f(2; 3). More generally, (x - a; y - b) is prime for any (a; b) C2. Also, if f(x; y) 7 2 2 3 2 is an irr!educible polynomial (e.g. y - x or y - x ) then (f(x; y)) is prime. 1.A. EXERCISE. (Feel free to skip this exercise, as we will see a different proof of this later.) Show that we have identified all the prime ideals of C[x; y]. We can now attempt to draw a picture of this space.
