L-filters and LF-topologies

For a complete quasi-monoidal lattice L, with some additional properties, we consider the category of L-filtered sets with fixed basis L, and we find out a functorial relation from this category to that of the L-fuzzy topological spaces. On the other hand, a morphism in the category of complete quasi-monoidal lattices allows us to establish a pair of adjoint functors (change of basis) between the corresponding categories of L-filterd sets.
