  Heyting algebra
Heyting algebras arise as models of intuitionistic logic, a logic in which the law of excluded middle does not in general hold.
Complete Heyting algebras are a central object of study in pointless topology.
A Heyting algebra H is a bounded lattice such that for all a and b in H there is a greatest element x of H such that a ^ x ≤ b.

 Complete Heyting algebra -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
This article give various characterizations for the notion of a complete Heyting algebra and explains in which sense the notions of a complete Heyting algebra, a locale and a frame differ, although they describe the same mathematical objects.
Thus, a homomorphism of complete Heyting algebras is a morphism of frames that in addition preserves implication.
Usually the different names for complete Heyting algebras are employed to distinguish these three notions of a morphism implicitly.

 t2 topology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
In contrast, non-preregular spaces are encountered much more frequently in abstract algebra and algebraic geometry, in particular as the Zariski topology on an algebraic variety or the spectrum of a ring.
They also arise in the model theory of intuitionistic logic: every complete Heyting algebra is the algebra of open sets of some topological space, but this space need not be preregular, much less Hausdorff.
These are also the spaces in which completeness makes sense, and Hausdorffness is a natural companion to completeness in these cases.

 Complete Heyting algebra   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
In mathematics, especially in order theory, a complete Heyting algebra is a Heyting algebra which is complete as a lattice.
Moreover, complete Heyting algebras arise as the Lindenbaum algebras of (intuitionistic) logics with infinite disjunction.
Finally, locales usually arise in the context of Stone duality and from the viewpoint of pointless topology it is desirable to obtain a category that covariantly corresponds to the category of topological spaces and continuous mappings.

Of course Johnstone (and many before him, possibly back to Wallman 1938) was modelling spaces using locales (that is using complete Heyting algebras) and so had tampered sufficiently with the definition of a topological space to allow the result to go through without a choice axiom.
In my thesis 'Preframe Techniques in Constructive Locale Theory' the algebra of a class of lattices more general than locales (the class of preframes) is seen to be sufficient to develop a constructive version of Priestley's duality (which gives a topological representation of a distributive lattice).
A frame (a complete Heyting algebra) is a suitably algebraic object.

In mathematics, an arithmetic group (arithmetic subgroup) in a linear algebraic group G defined over a number field K is a subgroup Γ of G (K) that is commensurable with G (O), where O is the ring of integers of K.
Here two subgroups A and B of a group are commensurable when their intersection has finite index in each of them.
The general theory of arithmetic groups was developed by Armand Borel and Harish-Chandra; the description of their fundamental domains was in classical terms the reduction theory of algebraic forms.

In mathematics and computer science, Boolean algebras, or Boolean lattices, are algebraic structures which "capture the essence" of the logical operations AND, OR and NOT as well as the set theoretic operations union, intersection and complement.
Specifically, Boolean algebra was an attempt to use algebraic techniques to deal with expressions in the propositional calculus.

It's obvious that the free cHa on aleph_0 generators is a proper class, since it has the free complete Boolean algebra on the same generators as a quotient.
However, when you look at the finitary theory of Heyting algebras, the free algebra on two generators already exhibits all the bad behaviour you get in larger free algebras.
If there is a cHa homomorphism taking a to b, it must be g; but it remains to prove that g is a Heyting algebra homomorphism.

But when D is an infinite set then we cannot generally expect to be able to compute the truth values of the quantified sentences, even when we know the truth value of each P(a) for a:D. Moreover, in constructive mathematics the truth value of the quantified sentences is not even determined in general.
To be able to deal with the quantifiers it is sufficient that the Boolean algebra is complete.
