I am a bit stubborn. In my first post on ideal domains, I thought I would be able to extend Keye Martin’s result from metric to quasi-metric spaces. I have said I had failed, but now I think I have … Continue reading →

In my first post on ideal domains, I thought I would be able to extend Keye Martin’s result from metric to quasi-metric spaces. That was more complicated than what I had thought. Along my journey, I (re)discovered a few results, … Continue reading →

Last time, we have seen that every completely metrizable space X has an ideal model, that is, that X can be embedded into an ideal domain Y in such a way that we can equate X with the subspace of … Continue reading →

I had not posted a crossword puzzle for a long time, so here is one at last: in pdf format, or in AcrossLite format, as usual.  Happy New Year!

A few months ago, Keye Martin drew my attention to his results on so-called ideal models of spaces [1].  Ideal domains are incredibly specific dcpos: they are defined as dcpos where each non-finite element is maximal.  Despite this, Keye Martin … Continue reading →

In my last post, I said I would have trouble finding time to write anything up in August, and sadly, this came out true. Late August, I went to the Domains XII conference, and it may be a good idea if I … Continue reading →

You have probably sweated a lot at trying to understand the constructions of Part IV.  They rest on a lot of topology and domain theory.  Perhaps surprisingly (if you do not know it already), they are completely generic, and work in … Continue reading →

Last time, we concluded with a mysterious observation.  There is a theory, that of unital inflationary topological semi-lattices, which plays a fundamental role in the study of the Hoare powerspace.  On the one hand, H(X) is the free sober such thing.  On the … Continue reading →
