Codensity and stone spaces
AbstractWe present a detailed computation of two codensity monads associated to two canonical functors – the inclusion functor ofFinSetintoTopand the inclusion functor of the category of the powers of the Sierpiński space intoTop. We show that the categories of algebras of the two monads are the categories of Stone spaces and of sober spaces, respectively. A new motivation for defining these classes of spaces is therefore obtained.
