A refinement of Stone duality to skew Boolean algebras

Abstract

We establish two duality theorems which refine the classical Stone duality between generalized Boolean algebras and locally compact Boolean spaces. In the first theorem we prove that the category of left-handed skew Boolean algebras whose morphisms are proper skew Boolean algebra homomorphisms is equivalent to the category of étale spaces over locally compact Boolean spaces whose morphisms are étale space cohomomorphisms over continuous proper maps. In the second theorem we prove that the category of left-handed skew Boolean $\cap$-algebras whose morphisms are proper skew Boolean $\cap$-algebra homomorphisms is equivalent to the category of étale spaces with compact clopen equalizers over locally compact Boolean spaces whose morphisms are injective étale space cohomomorphisms over continuous proper maps.

15 pages; an inaccuracy of v1 is corrected (nonzero homomorphisms of skew Boolean algebras are replaced by proper homomorphisms)
