Stone Duality for Kolmogorov Locally Small Spaces

Abstract

In this paper, we prove new versions of Stone Duality. The main version is the following: the category of Kolmogorov locally small spaces and bounded continuous mappings is equivalent to the category of spectral spaces with decent lumps and with bornologies in the lattices of (quasi-) compact open sets as objects and spectral mappings respecting those decent lumps and satisfying a boundedness condition as morphisms. Furthermore, it is dually equivalent to the category of bounded distributive lattices with bornologies and with decent lumps of prime filters as objects and homomorphisms of bounded lattices respecting those decent lumps and satisfying a domination condition as morphisms. This helps to understand Kolmogorov locally small spaces and morphisms between them. We comment also on spectralifications of topological spaces.
