Fuzzy topologies and topological space objects in a topos (Q1085468): Difference between revisions

The paper represents a part of the efforts to clarify just how fuzzy mathematics (in this case topology) is related to mathematics in a topos. The main result is that fuzzy topologies in the sense of R. Lowen are externalizations of internal topologies in the sense of L. N. Stout in the topos of L-sets. Here L is a complete Heyting algebra. A short introduction to the topos of L-sets is given, but no introduction to topoi in general. Fuzzy topology in the sense of Chang and Goguen is briefly commented on.
