Abstract
Giovanni Sambin has recently introduced the notion of an overlap algebra in order to give a constructive counterpart to a complete Boolean algebra. We propose a new notion of regular open subset within the framework of intuitionistic, predicative topology and we use it to give a representation theorem for (set-based) overlap algebras. In particular we show that there exists a duality between the category of set-based overlap algebras and a particular category of topologies in which all open subsets are regular.File in questo prodotto:
