Abstract

A locale (frame) L has a largest spatial sublocale generated by the primes (spectrum points), the spatial part SpL. In this paper we discuss some of the properties of the embeddings SpL ⊆ L. First we analyze the behaviour of the spatial parts in the assembly: the points of L and of S(L)^op (∼=
the congruence frame) are in a natural one-one correspondence while the topologies of SpL and Sp(S(L)^op) differ. Then we concentrate on some special types of embeddings of SpL into L, namely in the questions when SpL is complemented, closed, or open. While in the first part L was general, here we need some restrictions (weak separation axioms) to obtain suitable formulas
