Priestley Rings and Priestley Order-Compactifications

We introduce Priestley rings of upsets (of a poset) and prove that inequivalent Priestley ring representations of a bounded distributive lattice L are in 1-1 correspondence with dense subspaces of the Priestley space of L. This generalizes a 1955 result of Bauer that inequivalent reduced field representations of a Boolean algebra B are in 1-1 correspondence with dense subspaces of the Stone spa...

A non-commutative Priestley duality

We prove that the category of left-handed skew distributive lattices with zero and proper homomorphisms is dually equivalent to a category of sheaves over local Priestley spaces. Our result thus provides a noncommutative version of classical Priestley duality for distributive lattices. The result also generalizes the recent development of Stone duality for skew Boolean algebras.
