Open multiplication in relatively free profinite semigroupoids
2025-06-17
Speaker: Alfredo Costa (CMUC, Univ. Coimbra)
We study when a relatively free profinite semigroupoid, generated by a finite-vertex graph, has open multiplication. This leads to extensions of published results about finitely generated relatively free profinite semigroups. We highlight some applications that motivated our research, namely...
A variety of co-quasivarieties
2025-06-17
Speaker: Maria Manuel Clementino (CMUC, Univ. Coimbra)
It is shown that the duals of several categories of topological flavour, like the categories of ordered sets, generalised metric spaces, probabilistic metric spaces, topological spaces, approach spaces, are quasivarieties, presenting a common proof for all such results.
This talk is based...
Drazin inverses in (dagger) categories
2025-08-19
Speaker: Jean-Simon Pacaud Lemay (Macquarie Univ., Sydney, Australia)
Drazin inverses are a special kind of generalized inverse that have been extensively studied and have many applications in ring theory, semigroup theory, and matrix theory. Drazin inverses can also be defined for endomorphisms in any category. A natural question is whether one can extend the...
A general approach to pointfree \(T_0\) spaces
2025-08-19
Speaker: Anna Laura Suarez (Univ. Western Cape, South Africa)
The classical dual adjunction between frames and spaces, given by the functors \( O\colon \mathbf{Top}\to\mathbf{Frm} \) and \( \mathsf{pt}\colon\mathbf{Frm}\to\mathbf{Top} \), restricts to a dual equivalence between sober spaces and spatial frames. Another pointfree approach to the study of...
