Some topological aspects of ideals in quantales

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

As a natural extension of the ongoing development of a theory of ideals in commutative quantales with an identity element, this article aims to study certain topological properties exhibited by distinguished classes of ideals. These ideals are equipped with quantale topologies. The primary objectives encompass characterizing quantale spaces exhibiting sobriety, examining several conditions pertaining to quasi-compactness, and demonstrating that quantale spaces com-prised of proper ideals adhere to the spectral properties as defined by Hochster. We introduce the notion of strongly disconnected spaces and show that for a quantale with zero Jacobson radical, strongly disconnected quantale spaces containing all maximal ideals of the quantale imply existence of non-trivial idempotent elements in the quantale. Additionally, a sufficient criterion for establishing the connectedness of a quantale space is presented. Finally, we discuss continuous maps between quantale spaces.
