Algebraic aspects of posets (06A11) Topological representations of algebraic systems (54H10)

Abstract: Earlier an arbitrary poset

P

was proved to be isomorphic to the collection of subsets of a space

M

with two closures which are closed in the first closure and open in the other. As a space

M

for this representation an algebraic dual space

P^{*}

was used. Here we extend the theory of algabraic duality for posets generalizing the notion of an ideal. This approach yields a sufficient condition for the collection of clopen subsets of a subset of

P^{*}

(with respect to induced closures) to be isomorphic to

P

. Applying this result to certain classes of posets we prove some representation theorems and get a topological characterization of orthocomplementations.
