Abstract
In [N. Bezhanishvili and W. H. Holliday. Choice-free Stone duality. J. Symb. Log., 85(1):109–148, 2020.], the authors develop a choice-free topological duality for the algebraic category of Boolean algebras. We adapt the techniques and constructions given by Bezhanishvili and Holliday to develop a topological duality for the algebraic category of Tarski algebras without using the Axiom of Choice. Then, we show that the duality presented here for Tarski algebras is in fact a generalization of the duality given by Bezhanishvili and Holliday for Boolean algebras. We also obtain a choice-free topological duality for the algebraic category of generalized Boolean algebra.
期刊介绍:
Applied Categorical Structures focuses on applications of results, techniques and ideas from category theory to mathematics, physics and computer science. These include the study of topological and algebraic categories, representation theory, algebraic geometry, homological and homotopical algebra, derived and triangulated categories, categorification of (geometric) invariants, categorical investigations in mathematical physics, higher category theory and applications, categorical investigations in functional analysis, in continuous order theory and in theoretical computer science. In addition, the journal also follows the development of emerging fields in which the application of categorical methods proves to be relevant.
Applied Categorical Structures publishes both carefully refereed research papers and survey papers. It promotes communication and increases the dissemination of new results and ideas among mathematicians and computer scientists who use categorical methods in their research.
