Jul 19, 2017 at 17:15 comment added Arpad Szaz Clark, Your question is very good. However, the additivity of the closure operation is usually not needed. See our papers on relator spaces. Sincerely yours, Arpad Szaz

Nov 6, 2013 at 23:40 comment added Qiaochu Yuan @Pete: the Krull topology example needs to be modified a bit, I think. The closure operator we get from the Galois correspondence doesn't send a subset of the Galois group to its closure; instead I think it sends a subset of the Galois group to the closure of the subgroup generated by it. I think this is still okay (it's a notion of closure operator internal to groups, say) but it seems worth saying.

Aug 16, 2010 at 9:02 comment added Pete L. Clark @Gerhard: thanks for pointing out some unfortunate typos in the definition of closure operator. (When I was typing my question, my interface with the site inexplicably became very slow, so I spent less time proofreading than usual.) Regarding Erne's book and its first chapter: I have skimmed over it and not found anything of direct relevance to my question. Please let me know if you have a specific passage in mind (the article is 138 pages).

Aug 16, 2010 at 7:19 comment added Gerhard Paseman Also, Marcel Erne edited a book on Galois connections, and wrote a good introductory chapter for it. I would look there first for an answer to your question. Gerhard "Ask Me About System Design" Paseman, 2010.08.16
Aug 16, 2010 at 7:16 comment added Gerhard Paseman if you have cl(x_1) contained in cl(x_2) in your C2, and cl(cl(x))=cl(x) in C3, then I would recognize it as a closure operator. Gerhard "Ask Me About System Design" Paseman, 2010.08.16
