Abstract

This paper establishes various conditions characterizing the homomorphisms \(h: L \rightarrow M\) of 0-dimensional frames which induce an isomorphism between the rings of all integervalued continuous function, or their bounded parts, on L and M, based on the Lindelöf and the compact coreflection of 0-dimensional frames. This provides natural analogues of familiar results concerning the realvalued continuous functions on completely regular frames, albeit by rather different methods of proof from those originally used in that setting. In addition, it will be shown that the present approach also leads to alternative proofs for the latter.
