Uniform continuity of pointfree real functions via farness and related Galois connections

This paper concerns uniform continuity of real-valued functions on a (pre-)uniform frame. The aim of the paper is to characterize uniform continuity of such frame homomorphisms in terms of a farness relation between elements in the frame, and then to derive from it a separation and an extension theorem for real-valued uniform maps on uniform frames. The approach, purely order-theoretic, uses properties of the Galois maps associated with the farness relation. As a byproduct, we identify sufficient conditions under which a (continuous) scale in a frame with a preuniformity generates a real-valued uniform map.
