Revisiting Stone duality for bitopological spaces: II. sequent theories, 2-sublocales, and (simple) biframes

What a summer! Yuxu Chen, Hui Kou and Zhenchao Lyu cracked three open problems in domain theory, and I have talked about one in the July 2026 post. But let us change subjects for a while, and let us go … Continue reading

FS≠RB

Great news this month! Yuxu Chen, Hui Kou and Zhenchao Lyu, from the University of Sichuan in Chengdu, have finally cracked the problem whether FS-domains and RB-domains are the same notion, and they are not. This problem had been open … Continue reading

Revisiting Stone duality for bitopological spaces

Exactly one year ago, I presented a form of Stone duality for bitopological spaces due to Jung and Moshier, and refined by Jakl. This relied on a notion called d-frames, which are a pair of frames linked by a totality … Continue reading

≪-separating domains and FS-domains

Achim Jung’s category of FS-domains is one of the two maximal cartesian-closed categories of continuous dcpos. Very recently, Wei Luan proposed a variation on the notion, and which he calls ≪-separating domains. One of his main theorems is that given … Continue reading

Choquet-Wilker spaces

A Choquet-Wilker space is a space in which the collection of compact saturated subsets is rich: one where, given a compact saturated set Q included in a union U1 ∪ U2 of two open sets, Q is included in a … Continue reading

Appert space

Some time ago, I was wondering about the various definitions of a Radon measure, and in particular about the relation between local finiteness and the requirement that the measure of every compact subset be finite. (I will explain everything.) The … Continue reading

Characterizing non-ω-well-filtered spaces by forbidden subspaces

In a 2023 paper, Hualin Miao, Xiaodong Jia, Chong Shen and Qingguo Li characterized ω-well-filtered spaces as those that do not contain any one of two very simple spaces, S1 and SD, as Skula-closed subspaces. This is part of a … Continue reading

Stone duality for preordered topological spaces II. Ad-frames

A preordered topological space is a topological space X with a preordering ≤. I wish to explain a form of Stone duality for such preordered topological spaces. The idea is pretty simple: last time, we have seen a form of Stone duality for … Continue reading

Stone duality for preordered topological spaces I. Bonsangue-Jacobs-Kok duality for preorders

We know a lot of Stone-like dualities, and I would like to start exploring a form of Stone duality for preordered topological spaces. We start with a simple problem this month: duality for preordered sets; hence, no topology (yet) in … Continue reading

Knijnenburg’s dcpo, weakly Hausdorff spaces and lenses

In 1993, Knijnenburg studied lenses, and came up with a simple dcpo that shows that the topological and the ordinary Egli-Milner orderings on lenses can differ. This dcpo settles more than this question. For example, it is an algebraic dcpo … Continue reading
