Modal compact Hausdorff spaces

摘要

We introduce modal compact Hausdorff spaces as generalizations of modal spaces, and show these are coalgebras for the Vietoris functor on compact Hausdorff spaces. Modal compact regular frames and modal de Vries algebras are introduced as algebraic counterparts of modal compact Hausdorff spaces, and dualities are given for the categories involved. These extend the familiar Isbell and de Vries dualities for compact Hausdorff spaces, as well as the duality between modal spaces and modal algebras. As the first step in the logical treatment of modal compact Hausdorff spaces, a version of Sahlqvist correspondence is given for the positive modal language.
