On semicontinuous lattices and their distributive reflections (Q271689)

In this paper, a characterization of a distributive reflection is described. The main results the authors present are that for a complete lattice \(L\) the distributive reflection \(L_d\) is isomorphic to the lattice of all radicals determined by principal ideals of \(L\) in the set-inclusion, and that if a complete lattice \(L\) is semicontinuous and every semiprime element \(x\) of \(L\) is the largest in \(d(x)\) then \(L_d\) is a continuous lattice.
