Attractodynamics in 0+1D
Jean F. Du Plessis, Bruno Scheihing-Hitschfeld, Rachel Steinhorst
Hydrodynamics is a macroscopic theory of long-wavelength dynamics around local thermal equilibrium. We develop attractodynamics, the analogous construction around a far-from-equili…

A Primer on Chainmails: Structures for Point-free Connectivity
J. F. Du Plessis, Zurab Janelidze, Bernardus A. Wessels
In point-free topology, one abstracts the poset of open subsets of a topological space, by replacing it with a frame (a complete lattice, where meet distributes over arbitrary join…
