Abstract. This paper studies various functors between (latticevalued) topology and (lattice-valued) bitopology, including the ex-2 -Top introduced in this paper, both of which are extremely well-behaved strict, concrete, full embeddings. Given the greater simplicity of lattice-valued topology vis-a-vis latticevalued bitopology and the fact that the class of L 2 -Top's is strictly smaller than the class of L-Top's encompassing fixed-basis topology, the class of E×'s makes the case that lattice-valued bitopology is categorically redundant. As a special application, traditional bitopology as represented by BiTop is (isomorphic in an extremely well-behaved way to) a strict subcategory of 4-Top, where 4 is the four element Boolean algebra; this makes the case that traditional bitopology is a special case of a much simpler fixed-basis topology.

Abstract. We show that the locales which are injective over perfect sublocale embeddings coincide with the underlying objects of the algebras of the upper powerlocale monad, and we characterize them as those whose frames of opens enjoy a property analogous to stable supercontinuity. 2000

We observe that if is a compatible totally bounded quasi-uniformity on a T0-space (X,), then the bicompletion of (X, ) is a strongly sober, locally quasicompact space. It follows that the b-closure S of (X, ) in is homeomorphic to the sobrification of the space (X, ). We prove that S is equal to if and only if (X, ) is a core-compact space in which every ultrafilter has an irreducible convergence set and is the coarsest quasi-uniformity compatible with . If is the Pervin quasi-uniformity on X, then S is equal to if and only if X is hereditarily quasicompact, or equivalently, is the Pervin quasi-uniformity on .
