Monoidal Topology will appeal to a broad range of mathematicians and theoretical computer scientists who work with ordered, metric and topological structures. It presents frontline research in a number of fields and provides all the necessary pre-requisites in order and category theory.
Monoidal Topology describes an active research area that, after various past proposals on how to axiomatize ''spaces'' in terms of convergence, began to emerge at the beginning of the millennium. It combines Barr''s relational presentation of topological spaces in terms of ultrafilter convergence with Lawvere''s interpretation of metric spaces as small categories enriched over the extended real half-line. Hence, equipped with a quantale V (replacing the reals) and a monad T (replacing the ultrafilter monad) laxly extended from set maps to V-valued relations, the book develops a categorical theory of (T,V)-algebras that is inspired simultaneously by its metric and topological roots. The book highlights in particular the distinguished role of equationally defined structures within the given lax-algebraic context and presents numerous new results ranging from topology and approach theory to domain theory. All the necessary pre-requisites in order and category theory are presented in the book.
