Definition

A locale is coherent if its compact elements are closed under finite meets and any element is a join of compact elements.

A morphism of coherent locales is a morphism ff of locales such that f *f^* preserves compact elements.

Properties

Every coherent locale is a coherent topos which is also a locale (i.e. (0,1)-topos).

Coherent locales are spatial. This is a special case of the Deligne completeness theorem for coherent toposes. The corresponding topological spaces are called coherent spaces.

Coherent locales classify coherent theories. If 𝕋\mathbb{T} is a propositional coherent theory, then the model L(𝕋)L(\mathbb{T}) is a coherent locale.

Category of coherent locales

The category of coherent locales is contravariantly equivalent to the category of distributive lattices.
