Construction of the smallest nucleus above a prenucleus: what does this proof tell us?
While reading Hyland's paper on the effective topos [retyped version here] in the L. E. J. Brouwer Centenary Symposium, specifically prop. 16.3, I realized that the following proposition is implicit:

What's the deal with De Morgan algebras and Kleene algebras?
The notion of Boolean algebras, and the corresponding classical propositional logic, is very standard, and it is easy to find information about them (for example, among many other such works, there is …

What topos-theoretic construction lies behind the “symmetric model” construction (used to re...
Suppose we want to prove that (classical!) $\mathsf{ZF}$ does not prove, say, “for every infinite set $A \subseteq \{0,1\}^{\mathbb{N}}$ there exists an injection $\mathbb{N} \to A$” (I take this exam …

Stone-Čech compactification of a Boolean subalgebra of $\{0,1\}^S$
Setup: Let $S$ be a set. Let $B$ be a Boolean subalgebra of $\{0,1\}^S$; i.e., just to be clear $B$ contains the constant $0$ and $1$ functions, and is stable under binary pointwise $\land$, $\lor$ a …

Countably compact Boolean algebras versus distributivity
Let us say that a complete Boolean algebra $B$ is:
countably distributive when for any sequence $(I_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ of sets and any elements $(u_{n,i})_{n\in\mathbb{N},i\in I_n}$ of $B$ we have

Closed sets versus closed sublocales in general topology in constructive math
This question is set in constructive mathematics (without Choice), such as in the internal logic of a topos with natural numbers object, or in IZF.
Short version of the question: if $X$ is a sober top …

Condition to guarantee that an inhabited and bounded set of reals has a supremum
This question is about constructive mathematics (without Choice), such as in the internal logic of a topos with natural numbers object, or in IZF. The “reals” (and the symbol $\mathbb{R}$) refer to t …

Examples of concrete games to apply Borel determinacy to
I'm teaching a course on various mathematical aspects of games, and I'd like to find some examples to illustrate Borel determinacy. Open or closed determinacy is easy to motivate because it proves th …

What is known about propositional realizability for the second Kleene algebra and related PCAs?
Short version: Various things are known about realizability of propositional formulas for Kleene's “first algebra” (i.e., $\mathbb{N}$), like examples of realizable but unprovable formulas, and some t …

Consider, on the one hand:
the Curry-Howard correspondence between, on the one hand, types and terms (programs) in various flavors of typed $\lambda$-calculus, and on the other, propositions and proo …

Turing degrees of sets separating two computably inseparable sets (theorems and antitheorems)
Let $A\subseteq\mathbb{N}$ be the set of Gödel codes of theorems of Peano arithmetic, and $B\subseteq\mathbb{N}$ be the set of codes of antitheorems (i.e, refutable statements, statements whose negati …
