Terminology for non-empty suprema preserving function

Is there an established name for a map of complete lattices $f : L \to L'$ that preserves nonempty suprema? I.e. for all $U \subseteq L$ with $U \neq \emptyset$, $$ f( \bigvee U) = \bigvee_{u \in U} f(...

left-adjoint to join in a Heyting algebra

Define a Heyting algebra to be a bounded lattice $L$ with an operation $\to : L^{op}\times L \to L$ such that for any $x, a, b \in L$ we have $x\wedge a \leqslant b$ iff $x \leqslant a \to b$. ...

Is a Hetying algebra with coexponetials Boolean?

Suppose we have a Heyting algebra $\mathcal A$ with coexponentials. Specifically, for every $a, b : \mathcal A$ we have an object $b \backslash a$ with the properties that $b \le a \lor (b \backslash ...

What are the subfunctors of $\operatorname{Hom}_{\Bbb Q}(q,-)$

Let $\Bbb Q$ be the linearly ordered set of rational numbers, and $q\in\Bbb Q$ . I think the functor $\operatorname{Hom}_{\Bbb Q}(q,-)$ is in bijection with $A=\{t : t\in \Bbb Q, t>q\}$. I want to ...
