. We show that dependent sums and dependent products of continuous parametrizations on domains with dense, codense, and natural totalities agree with dependent sums and dependent products in equilogical spaces, and thus also in the realizability topos RT(P!). Keywords: continuous functionals, dependent type theory, domain theory, equilogical spaces. 1 Introduction Recently there has been a lot of interest in understanding notions of totality for domains [3, 23, 4, 18, 21]. There are several reasons for this. Totality is the semantic analogue of termination, and one is naturally interested in understanding not only termination properties of programs but also how notions of program equivalence depend on assumptions regarding termination [21]. Another reason for studying totality on domains is to obtain generalizations of the nite-type hierarchy of total continuous functionals by Kleene and Kreisel [11], see [8] and [19] for good accounts of this subject. Ershov [7] showed how the Klee...

Toposes and quasi-toposes have been shown to be useful in mathematics, logic and computer science. Because of this, it is important to understand the di#erent ways in which they can be constructed. Realizability toposes and presheaf toposes are two important classes of toposes. All of the former and many of the latter arise by adding "good " quotients of equivalence relations to a simple category with finite limits. This construction is called the exact completion of the original category. Exact completions are not always toposes and it was not known, not even in the realizability and presheaf cases, when or why toposes arise in this way. Exact completions can be obtained as the composition of two related constructions. The first one assigns to a category with finite limits, the "best " regular category (called its regular completion) that embeds it. The second assigns to

Abstract. We compare the definability of total functionals over the reals in two functional-programming approaches to exact real-number datatype of real numbers; and the intensional approach, in which one encodes real numbers using ordinary datatypes. We show that the type hierarchies coincide up to second-order types, and we relate this fact to an analogous comparison of type hierarchies over the external and internal real numbers in Dana Scott’s category of equilogical spaces. We do not know whether similar coincidences hold at third-order types. However, we relate this question to a purely topological conjecture about the Kleene-Kreisel continuous functionals over the natural numbers. Finally, although it is known that, in the extensional approach, parallel primitives are necessary for programming total first-order functions, we demonstrate that, in the intensional approach, such primitives are not needed for second-order types and below. 1

In this paper I compare two well studied approaches to topological semantics| the domain-theoretic approach, exemplied by the category of countably based equilogical spaces, Equ, and Type Two Eectivity, exemplied by the category of Baire space representations, Rep(B ). These two categories are both locally cartesian closed extensions of countably based T 0 -spaces. A natural question to ask is how they are related.

It is well known that to be able to represent continuous functions between domain representable spaces it is critical that the domain representations of the spaces we consider are dense. In this article we show how to develop a representation theory over a category of domains with morphisms partial continuous functions. The raison d’être for introducing partial continuous functions is that by passing to partial maps, we are free to consider totalities which are not dense. We show that the category of admissibly representable spaces with morphisms functions which are representable by a partial continuous function is Cartesian closed. Finally, we consider the question of effectivity. Key words. Domain theory, domain representations, computability theory, computable analysis. 1

We introduce a notion of reducibility of representations of topological spaces and study some basic properties of this notion for domain representations. A representation reduces to another if its representing map factors through the other representation. Reductions form a pre-order on representations. A spectrum is a class of representations divided by the equivalence relation induced by reductions. We establish some basic properties of spectra, such as, non-triviality. Equivalent representations represent the same set of functions on the represented space. Within a class of representations, a representation is universal if all representations in the class reduce to it. We show that notions of admissibility, considered both for domains and within Weihrauch’s TTE, are universality concepts in the appropriate spectra. Viewing TTE representations as domain representations, the reduction notion here is a natural generalisation of the one from TTE. To illustrate the framework, we consider some domain representations of real numbers and show that the usual interval domain representation, which is universal among dense representations, does not reduce to various Cantor domain representations. On the other hand, however, we show that a substructure of the interval domain more suitable for efficient computation of operations is equivalent to the usual interval domain with respect to reducibility. 1.
