Measurable uniform spaces
denotes the class of abstract algebras of the title (with homomorphisms preserving unit). The familiar and from universal algebra are here meant in . and denote the integers and the reals, with unit 1,
For a Tychonoff space , is the lattice-ordered group (-group) of real-valued continuous functions on , and is the sub--group of bounded functions. A property that might have is (AP) whenever is a divisible sub--group of , containing the constant function 1, and separating points from closed sets in , then any function in can be approximated uniformly over by functions which are locally in . The vector lattice version of the Stone-Weierstrass Theorem is more-or-less equivalent...
The -property of a Riesz space (real vector lattice) is: For each sequence of positive elements of , there is a sequence of positive reals, and , with for each . This condition is involved in studies in Riesz spaces of abstract Egoroff-type theorems, and of the countable lifting property. Here, we examine when “” obtains for a Riesz space of continuous real-valued functions . A basic result is: For discrete , has iff the cardinal , Rothberger’s bounding number. Consequences and...
All ℓ-groups shall be abelian. An a-extension of an ℓ-group is an extension preserving the lattice of ideals; an ℓ-group with no proper a-extension is called a-closed. A hyperarchimedean ℓ-group is one for which each quotient is archimedean. This paper examines hyperarchimedean ℓ-groups with unit and their a-extensions by means of the Yosida representation, focussing on several previously open problems. Paul Conrad asked in 1965: If G is a-closed and M is an ideal, is G/M a-closed? And in 1972:...
For Tychonoff and an infinite cardinal, let the minimum number of cozero-sets of the Čech-Stone compactification which intersect to (generalizing -defect), and let . Give the compact-open topology. It is shown that , where: is tightness; is the network character; is the Lindel"of number. For example, it follows that, for Čech-complete, . The (apparently new) cardinal functions and are compared with several others.
“The kernel functor” from the category of archimedean lattice-ordered groups with distinguished weak unit onto LFrm, of Lindelöf completely regular frames, preserves and reflects monics. In , monics are one-to-one, but not necessarily so in LFrm. An embedding for which is one-to-one is termed kernel-injective, or KI; these are the topic of this paper. The situation is contrasted with kernel-surjective and -preserving (KS and KP). The -objects every embedding of which is KI are characterized;...
is the category of spaces with filters: an object is a pair , a compact Hausdorff space and a filter of dense open subsets of . A morphism is a continuous function for which whenever . This category arises naturally from considerations in ordered algebra, e.g., Boolean algebra, lattice-ordered groups and rings, and from considerations in general topology, e.g., the theory of the absolute and other covers, locales, and frames, though we shall specifically address only...
We define “the category of compactifications”, which is denoted , and consider its family of coreflections, denoted . We show that is a complete lattice with bottom the identity and top an interpretation of the Čech–Stone . A implies the assignment to each locally compact, noncompact a compactification minimum for membership in the “object-range” of . We describe the minimum proper compactifications of locally compact, noncompact spaces, show that these generate the atoms...
