| Abstract | The existence of the pointfree Stone–Čech compactification, here understood as the compact, completely regular coreflection of a frame, has been established long ago in several ways modelled after certain descriptions of the classical Stone–Čech compactification (Johnstone, Stone Spaces, Cambridge Stud. Adv. Math. 3. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1982; Banaschewski and Mulvey, Houston J. Math. 6:301–312, 1980, J. Pure Appl. Algebra 33:107–122, 1984), but – somewhat surprisingly – one of the most familiar representations of the latter, the one popularized by Gillman and Jerison’s influential book as the space of maximal z-filters, has only recently been recognized also to carry over to the pointfree setting, as is implicit in Wei (Appl. Categ. Structures 12:197–202, 2004). The purpose of this note is to present an alternative account of this fact which places the problem into the wider context of the saturation quotients of compact frames and what are introduced here as completely normal lattices. Specifically, we first show that the saturation quotient S( A) of the frame A of ideals of a completely normal lattice A is compact completely regular (Proposition 1) which is then brought to bear on the question at hand by establishing that the cozero lattice CozL of a frame L is completely normal and finally leads to the result that S (CozL) is the Stone–Čech compactification of L (Proposition 2). Given that familiar results concerning saturation quotients exhibit the spectrum of the latter frame as the space of maximal z-filters of X for the cozero set lattice of a topological space X, this is then exactly the pointfree form of the desired kind. With regard to foundations, it should be emphasized that, in notable contrast with most other work involving CozL, the present arguments are constructively valid in the sense of topos theory. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
