Extremally disconnected sets #

This file develops some of the basic theory of extremally disconnected compact Hausdorff spaces.

Overview #

This file defines the type Stonean of all extremally (note: not "extremely"!) disconnected compact Hausdorff spaces, gives it the structure of a large category, and proves some basic observations about this category and various functors from it.

The Lean implementation: a term of type Stonean is a pair, considering of a term of type CompHaus (i.e. a compact Hausdorff topological space) plus a proof that the space is extremally disconnected. This is equivalent to the assertion that the term is projective in CompHaus, in the sense of category theory (i.e., such that morphisms out of the object can be lifted along epimorphisms).

Main definitions #

Implementation #

The category Stonean is defined using the structure CompHausLike. See the file CompHausLike.Basic for more information.
