Point-set lattice-theoretic topology (Q809391)

This essay with a bibliography of 131 titles is a coherent survey of results of certain aspects of point-set lattice-theoretic (poslat) topology i.e. fuzzy topology grounded in notions of sets, functions, powersets and powerset operators - the latter two being lattice-theoretic in nature and examined from a lattice-theoretic point of view using methods of category theory. The following topics are \(treated:\) 1\({}^ o\) Poslat notions of set theory. Basic notions of sets, functions, powersets and powerset operators are examined from the poslat perspective. In particular, the categories of SET, POSET, CSLF, CSLAT, DMRG are \(treated.\) 2\({}^ o\) Poslat notions of topology. Some important poslat notions of fuzzy topology are summarized. Such poslat notion of fuzzy topology is related to a poslat notion of fuzzy set theory. The categories \({\mathcal C}{\mathcal G}_ L\), \({\mathcal H}\), \({\mathcal T}\), \({\mathcal T}_ D\), \({\mathcal L}^ r\) are \(studied.\) 3\({}^ o\) Adjunctions equivalences and representations. Some of the important functors, adjunctions and categorical representations by various poslat topological frameworks are delineated. Let us list the characteristic functor \(G_{\chi}\), the Lowen functors \(\omega\) and \(\iota\), \(\alpha\)-level functors, the Hutton functor, then the classical Stone representation theorems and poslat representation theorems without recognized degrees of \(stratification.\) 4\({}^ o\) Categorical constructs, basic examples, and space axioms. Categorical properties of T and some of its important subcategories are reviewed. Some external and internal examples are pointed out. Separation axioms and compactness axioms are discussed. The essay contains several open questions.
