Definition

A locale is locally compact if its frame of opens is a continuous poset.

Properties

Proposition

In classical mathematics, every locally compact locale is spatial, hence may be regarded as a locally compact topological space.

Remark

Prop. may fail in constructive mathematics. For instance any spectrum of a commutative ring, considered as a locale, is locally compact, but may fail to be spatial (because of the lack of filters).

Propsition

Locally compact locales are also exactly the exponentiable objects in the category of locales.
