Algebraically closed and existentially closed substructures in categorical context.
A covariant representation of the category of locales by approximate maps (mimicking a natural representation of continuous maps between spaces in which one approximates points by small open sets) is constructed. It is shown that it can be given a Kleisli shape, as a part of a more general Kleisli representation of meet preserving maps. Also, we present the spectrum adjunction in this approximation setting.
J. Rutten proved, for accessible endofunctors of Set, the dual Birkhoff’s Variety Theorem: a collection of -coalgebras is presentable by coequations ( subobjects of cofree coalgebras) iff it is closed under quotients, subcoalgebras, and coproducts. This result is now proved to hold for all endofunctors of Set provided that coequations are generalized to mean subchains of the cofree-coalgebra chain. For the concept of coequation introduced by H. Porst and the author, which is a subobject of...
