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...

The underlying assumption is that the use of the word ‘La...
متن کاملThe Myth and the Medal
The weekend before the start of the 2014 International Congress of Mathematicians, I contributed an op-ed to the New York Times about the history of the Fields Medal. The article treated two topics that are familiar to many mathematicians, if not necessarily to the general public. I suggested that a previously unrecognized connection between these two stories, discovered in the course of my res...
