Perfect locales and localic real functions

The purpose of this paper is to identify the role of perfectness in the Michael insertion theorem for perfectly normal locales. We attain it by characterizing perfect locales in terms of strict insertion of two comparable lower semicontinuous and upper semicontinuous localic real functions. That cha...

Description
Summary:The purpose of this paper is to identify the role of perfectness in the Michael insertion theorem for perfectly normal locales. We attain it by characterizing perfect locales in terms of strict insertion of two comparable lower semicontinuous and upper semicontinuous localic real functions. That characterization, when combined with the insertion theorem for normal locales, provides an improved formulation of the aforementioned pointfree form of Michael’s insertion theorem.
