TWO CLASSES OF LOCALLY COMPACT SOBER SPACES KARIM BELAID, OTHMAN ECHI, AND RIYADH GARGOURI Received 15 December 2004 and in revised form 6 July 2005 We deal with two classes of locally compact sober spaces, namely, the class of locally spec- tral coherent spaces and the class of spaces in which every point has a closed spectral neighborhood (CSN-spaces, for short). We prove that locally spectral coherent spaces are precisely the coherent sober spaces with a basis of compact open sets. We also prove that CSN-spaces are exactly the locally spectral coherent spaces in which every compact open set has a compact closure. 1. Introduction A sober space is a T0 -space in which every closed irreducible subset is a singleton closure. Every sober space X can be recovered from the frame (complete distributive Brouwerian lattice) (X ) of open sets as the prime spectrum Spec((X )) and each T0 -space Y can be universally embedded into the sober space Spec((Y)). A space will be called compact if every open cover has a finite subcover, and locally compact if every neighborhood of a point contains a compact neighborhood. The the- ory of locally compact sober spaces is completely captured by the theory of continuous frames (continuous distributive lattices), because for each locally compact sober space X , the lattice (X ) is a continuous frame such that X ∼ Spec((X )) and every continu- = ous frame L has a locally compact sober space Spec(L) as its prime spectrum such that L ∼ (Spec(L)). A locally compact sober space has a basis of compact open sets if and = only if its frame (X ) of open sets is algebraic [1, page 115], and the spectrum of every algebraic frame is a locally compact sober space with a basis of compact open sets. A space X whose frame (X ) is algebraic is sometimes called a quasi-Boolean space [4]. Let X be a topological space and A a subset of X . The saturation of A
