Categorical Extension of Dualities: From Stone to de Vries and Beyond, II


الملخص بالإنكليزية

Under a general categorical procedure for the extension of dual equivalences as presented in this papers predecessor, a new algebraically defined category is established that is dually equivalent to the category $bf LKHaus$ of locally compact Hausdorff spaces and continuous maps, with the dual equivalence extending a Stone-type duality for the category of extremally disconnected locally compact Hausdorff spaces and continuous maps. The new category is then shown to be isomorphic to the category $bf CLCA$ of complete local contact algebras and suitable morphisms. Thereby, a new proof is presented for the equivalence ${bf LKHaus}simeq{bf CLCA}^{rm op}$ that was obtained by the first author more than a decade ago. Unlike the morphisms of $bf CLCA$, the morphisms of the new category and their composition law are very natural and easy to handle.
