Stably continuous frames

Abstract

In the lattice theory that underlies topology, that is, in the study of frames, a class of frames arising naturally is that of the stably continuous frames (see §0 for definitions). On the one hand, they correspond to the most reasonable not necessarily Hausdorff compact spaces, and on the other, they are precisely the retracts of coherent frames. Moreover, an important special case of stably continuous frames are the compact regular frames which correspond to compact Hausdorff spaces.
