 | | Distance spaces are a generalization of metric spaces, obtained by replacing the nonnegative integers as distances by elements of a partially ordered, commutative monoid. |
 | | A continuity space is a set X with a (not necessarily symmetric) distance function valued in an ordered abelian semigroup (\cal V,+,\leq) with least element and identity 0, greatest absorbing element \infty, and satisfying d(x,x)=0, d(x,z)\leq d(x,y)+d(y,z). |
 | | Thus the non-commutativity of A and the asymmetry of topologies on the ideal spaces of A are intimately intertwined. |
