“Internal Neighbourhood Spaces”

Giovedì 31 Ottobre 2019, ore 16:30 - Aula 2AB45 - Partha Ghosh (University of South Africa)

Abstract

The main aim of this talk is to provide a description of neighbourhood operators in finitely complete categories with finite coproducts and a proper factorization system such that the semilattice of admissible subobjects is a complete lattice. The equivalence between neighbourhood systems, Kuratowski interior operations and pseudo-frame sets is proved. Furthermore the categories of internal neighbourhood spaces is shown to be topological. Regular epimorphisms of categories of internal neighbourhood spaces are described and conditions ensuring hereditary regular epimorphisms are probed. It is shown the category of internal neighbourhood spaces of topological spaces is the category of bitopological spaces, while in the category of locales every locale comes equipped with a natural internal topology. The work is a part of a larger project which continues.
