Definition

A Stone locale is a compact zero-dimensional? locale.

Properties

In presence of the axiom of choice, every Stone locale is spatial? and the category of Stone locales is equivalent to the category of Stone spaces.

Stone duality

The Stone duality theorem states that the category of Stone locales is contravariantly equivalent to the category of Boolean algebras.

Unlike the corresponding statement for Stone spaces, this version is fully constructive and is valid in any W-topos.

In fact, the traditional Stone duality is an immediate consequence of the localic Stone duality and the spatiality of Stone locales.
