On complemented sublocales
by
Jorge Picado
University of Coimbra, Portugal
Coauthors: Ales Pultr (Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic)

Sublocale lattices are much more complicated than their classical topological counterparts (complete atomic Boolean algebras). Even the lattice of sublocales of a topological space can be much larger than the Boolean algebra of its subspaces (for example, Q has 2c many non.isomorphic sublocales [1]). Another difference is that only complemented sublocales (and most sublocales are not complemented) distribute over all covers.

In this talk we pursue our approach [2] to sublocales and present some results on complemented sublocales (namely, the common property of open and closed sublocales that makes them both complemented).
