The algebra of conditional sets and the concepts of conditional topology and compactness

Abstract

The concepts of a conditional set, a conditional inclusion relation and a conditional Cartesian product are introduced. The resulting conditional set theory is sufficiently rich in order to construct a conditional topology, a conditional real and functional analysis indicating the possibility of a mathematical discourse based on conditional sets. It is proved that the conditional power set is a complete Boolean algebra, and a conditional version of the axiom of choice, the ultrafilter lemma, Tychonoff's theorem, the Borel–Lebesgue theorem, the Hahn–Banach theorem, the Banach–Alaoglu theorem and the Krein–Šmulian theorem are shown.
