Two topologies on the set of minimal prime elements of a continuous frame

Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the properties of the hull-kernel topology and the inverse topology on the set [Formula: see text] of minimal prime elements of a continuous frame [Formula: see text]. We prove that the set [Formula: see text] endowed with the hull-kernel topology and the inverse topology, respectively, is a [Formula: see text]-space. Moreover, we obtain that there is a bijective correspondence between the set [Formula: see text] of all maximal Scott open filters of [Formula: see text] and the set [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text] is a stably continuous frame. By considering the bijective correspondence between the sets [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], we propose some sufficient conditions for the topological spaces [Formula: see text] endowed with the hull-kernel topology and the inverse topology, respectively, to be sober, Hausdorff, compact, extremely disconnected and zero-dimensional spaces, respectively, when [Formula: see text] is a stably continuous frame.
