| Popis: | A partial frame is a meet-semilattice in which certain designated subsets are required to have joins, and finite meets distribute over these. The designated subsets are specified by means of a so-called selection function, denoted by S; these partial frames are called S-frames.We construct free frames over S-frames using appropriate ideals, called S-ideals. Taking S-ideals gives a functor from S-frames to frames. Coupled with the functor from frames to S-frames that takes S-Lindelöf elements, it provides a category equivalence between S-frames and a non-full subcategory of frames. In the setting of complete regularity, we provide the functor taking S-cozero elements which is right adjoint to the functor taking S-ideals. This adjunction restricts to an equivalence of the category of completely regular S-frames and a full subcategory of completely regular frames. As an application of the latter equivalence, we construct the Stone–Čech compactification of a completely regular S-frame, that is, its compact coreflection in the category of completely regular S-frames.A distinguishing feature of the study of partial frames is that a small collection of axioms of an elementary nature allows one to do much that is traditional at the level of frames or locales and of uniform or nearness frames. The axioms are sufficiently general to include as examples of partial frames bounded distributive lattices, σ-frames, k-frames and frames.Keywords: Frame, S-frame, selection function, partial frame, σ-frame, k-frame, meetsemilattice, coreflection, completely regular, compact, Stone–Čech compactification, cozero, S-cozero, ideal, S-ideal, S-Lindelöf, category equivalence |
