Quasicontinuous posets (Q915745)

The author proves the following theorems about the algebraic properties of quasicontinuous posets. Theorem. If P is a quasicontinuous poset and p: \(P\to P\) a continuous projection operator, then p(P) is a quasicontinuous poset. Theorem. The product of quasicontinuous posets is a quasicontinuous poset provided all but finitely many of the factors have least elements. Theorem. Let P and Q be quasicontinuous posets and let B be a basis for P. If g: \(P\to Q\) is a surjective homomorphism, then g(B) is a basis for Q.
