Quantum Suplattices
share
Building on the theory of quantum posets, we introduce a non-commutative version of suplattices, i.e., complete lattices whose morphisms are supremum-preserving maps, which form a step towards a new notion of quantum topological spaces. We show that the theory of these quantum suplattices resembles the classical theory: the opposite quantum poset of a quantum suplattice is again a quantum suplattice, and quantum suplattices arise as algebras of a non-commutative version of the monad of downward-closed subsets of a poset. The existence of this monad is proved by introducing a non-commutative generalization of monotone relations between quantum posets, which form a compact closed category. Moreover, we introduce a non-commutative generalization of Galois connections and we prove that an upper Galois adjoint of a monotone map between quantum suplattices exists if and only if the map is a morphism of quantum suplattices. Finally, we prove a quantum version of the Knaster-Tarski fixpoint theorem: the quantum set of fixpoints of a monotone endomap on a quantum suplattice form a quantum suplattice.
