Not to be confused with the notion of coherence space in models of linear logic.
A coherent space (alias spectral topological space) is a topological space which is homeomorphic to the spectrum of a commutative ring, hence to the topological space underlying an affine scheme.
Equivalently, it is a compact sober topological space whose collection of compact open subsets is closed under finite intersections and forms a topological base.
Morphisms of coherent spaces are continuous maps such that preimages of compact open subsets are again compact.
Since coherent spaces are sober, the corresponding locale of open subsets is a coherent locale.
Passing from a coherent space to its lattice of compact open subsets establishes a contravariant equivalence from the category of coherent spaces to the category of (bounded) distributive lattices. Thus, the category of coherent spaces are equivalent to the category of Priestley spaces and the category of coherent locales.
A coherent space is Hausdorff if and only if it is a Stone space. Under Stone duality for coherent spaces, this corresponds to the fact that in a distributive lattice every element has a complement if and only if is a Boolean algebra.
In particular, restricting the Stone duality equivalence between coherent spaces and distributive lattices to Stone spaces and Boolean algebras recovers the classical Stone duality.
