A refinement of Stone duality to skew Boolean algebras

Abstract

We establish two duality theorems which refine the classical Stone duality between generalized Boolean algebras and locally compact Boolean spaces. In the first theorem we prove that the category of left-handed skew Boolean algebras whose morphisms are proper skew Boolean algebra homomorphisms is equivalent to the category of \'{e}tale spaces over locally compact Boolean spaces whose morphisms are \'{e}tale space cohomomorphisms over continuous proper maps. In the second theorem we prove that the category of left-handed skew Boolean $\cap$-algebras whose morphisms are proper skew Boolean $\cap$-algebra homomorphisms is equivalent to the category of \'{e}tale spaces with compact clopen equalizers over locally compact Boolean spaces whose morphisms are injective \'{e}tale space cohomomorphisms over continuous proper maps.
