Cozero bases of frames (Q5928470)

From the authors abstract with minor modifications: ``A frame \(L\) which has a cozero basis, i.e. a regular sub-\(\sigma\)-frame that generates \(L\), is completely regular. Its cozero part \(\text{Coz} L\) is then the largest cozero basis of \(L\), and we characterize here those \(L\) for which it is the only such. Further, we give a similar characterization for the finitary analogue of this situation where regular \(\sigma\)-frames are replaced by Boolean algebras. In addition, we consider the compactifications of a frame \(L\) provided by its cozero bases and show that all compactifications are of this kind iff \(L\) is pseudocompact. Finally, we characterize the completely regular frames with unique compactification and their zero-dimensional counterparts''.
