A convenient category of domains

Abstract

We motivate and define a category of "topological domains",
whose objects are certain topological spaces, generalising
the usual $omega$-continuous dcppos of domain theory.
Our category supports all the standard constructions of domain theory,
including the solution of recursive domain equations. It also
supports the construction of free algebras for (in)equational
theories, provides a model of parametric polymorphism,
and can be used as the basis for a theory of computability.
This answers a question of Gordon Plotkin, who asked
whether it was possible to construct a category of domains
combining such properties.
