Does the functor $\mathrm{Sh}\colon\mathbf{Top}\to\mathbf{Topos}$ have an adjoint?
Consider the category $\mathbf{Top}$ of topological spaces, the category $\mathbf{Topos}$ of toposes and geometric morphisms, and the category $\mathbf{Loc}$ of locales. Let
$$\mathrm{Sh}\colon\mathbf{...

What are projective locales / injective frames?
Judging by the compact regular case, and more generally the spatial case, regular projectivity of locales, resp. regular injectivity of frames, must have something to do with $\neg p\lor\neg\neg p$ ...

Combination topological space and locale?
The traditional theory of topological spaces (as formalized by Bourbaki) starts with a set of points, then builds a structure on that. In contrast, the theory of locales starts with a frame of opens (...

"Scott completion" of dcpo
If $A$ is poset with all directed suprema, it is common to consider the Scott topology on $A$, whose open subsets are the $U \subset A$ such that $U$ is upward closed and if $\bigcup_I a_i \in U $ for ...

Spatiality of products of locally compact locales
In Johnstone´s Sketches of an Elephant Volume 2, page 716,
lemma 4.1.8 states that for spatial locales $X$ and $Y$ with $X$ locally compact then the locale product $X\times Y$ is spatial.
Is this ...

Constructive proofs of existence in analysis using locales
There are several basic theorems in analysis asserting the existence of a point in some space such as the following results:
The intermediate value theorem: for every continuous function $f : [0,1] \...

Exponential locales and a pointless version of the compact-open topology?
TL;DR: compact-open topology for Homs of locales?
Let $\mathcal{L}$ be a full subcategory of the category $\mathcal{Loc}$ of locales.
For two locales, $A$ and $B$, is there a nice way to make an ...

Counterexemple to Urysohn's lemma in a topos without denombrable choice ?
Hello !
The Urysohn's Lemma assert that in every topological spaces which is normal two closed subset may be separated by a real valued function. It's proof use axiom of countable choice (but not the ...

Localic locales? Towards very pointless spaces by iterated internalization.
One can think of locales as (generalizations of) topological spaces which don't necessary have (enough) points. Of course when one studies locales, one "actually" studies frames,
certain sorts of ...

Locales and Topology.
As someone more used to point-set topology, who is unfamiliar with the inner workings of lattice theory, I am looking to learn about the localic interpretation of topology, of which I only have a ...

Do strict pro-sets embed in locales?
It is well-known that the category of profinite groups (by which I mean Pro(FiniteGroups), i.e. the category of formal cofiltered limits of finite groups) is equivalent to a full subcategory of ...
