On Priestley Spaces of Lattice-Ordered Algebraic Structures
The laws defining many important varieties of lattice-ordered algebras, such as linear Heyting algebras, MV-algebras and l-groups, can be cast in a form which allows dual representations to be derived in a very direct, and semi-automatic, way. This is achieved by developing a new duality theory for...

Sumario: | The laws defining many important varieties of lattice-ordered algebras, such as linear Heyting algebras, MV-algebras and l-groups, can be cast in a form which allows dual representations to be derived in a very direct, and semi-automatic, way. This is achieved by developing a new duality theory for implicative lattices, which encompass all the varieries above. The approach focuses on distinguished subsets of the prime lattice filters of an implicative lattice, ordered as usual by inclusion. A decomposition theorem is proved, and the extent to which the order on the prime lattice filters determines the implicative structure is thereby revealed. |
