Linear structures on locales

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We define a notion of morphism for quotient vector bundles that yields both a category extitQVBun and a contravariant global sections functor C:extitQVBunextrmopoextitVect whose restriction to trivial vector bundles with fiber F coincides with the contravariant functor extitTopextrmopoextitVect of F-valued continuous functions. Based on this we obtain a linear extension of the adjunction between the categories of topological spaces and locales: (i) a linearized topological space is a spectral vector bundle, by which is meant a mildly restricted type of quotient vector bundle; (ii) a linearized locale is a locale riangle equipped with both a topological vector space A and a riangle-valued support map for the elements of A satisfying a continuity condition relative to the spectrum of riangle and the lower Vietoris topology on operatornameSubA; (iii) we obtain an adjunction between the full subcategory of spectral vector bundles extitQVBunSigma and the category of linearized locales extitLinLoc, which restricts to an equivalence of categories between sober spectral vector bundles and spatial linearized locales. The spectral vector bundles are classified by a finer topology on operatornameSubA, called the open support topology, but there is no notion of universal spectral vector bundle for an arbitrary topological vector space A.
