Many-valued overlap algebras
(j.w.w. Maria Emilia Maietti and Giovanni Sambin)

In his forthcoming book Sambin introduces a new topological theory, called "The Basic Picture", that generalizes the notion of topological space and in turn its point-free version. He also introduces the notion of overlap algebra to give a purely algebraic presentation of such concepts.

The ultimate goal of our work is to generalize such topological notions in the context of many-valued sets and to test whether the original algebrization of Sambin’s topological notions can be considered also the algebrization of their many-valued version.

To include the many-valued power collection of a set as an example of overlap algebra, we need to work in the many-valued set theory whose structure of truth values is an overlap algebra itself.

After defining an evaluated set-based overlap algebra, we prove that the evaluated power collection functor is full and faithful and also dense over evaluated atomic overlap algebras, as proved by Sambin in his book.
