Completely Precontinuous Posets

In this paper, concepts of strongly way below relations, completely precontinuous posets, coprimes and Heyting posets are introduced. The main results are: (1) The strongly way below relations of completely precontinuous posets have the interpolation property; (2) A poset P is a completely precontinuous poset iff its normal completion is a completely distributive lattice; (3) An ω-chain complete P is completely precontinuous iff P and P op are precontinuous and its normal completion is distributive iff P is precontinuous and has enough coprimes; (4) A poset P is completely precontinuous iff the strongly way below relation is the smallest approximating auxiliary relation on P iff P is a Heyting poset and there is a smallest approximating auxiliary relation on P . Finally, given a poset P and an auxiliary relation on P , we characterize those joindense subsets of P whose strongly way-below relation agrees with the given auxiliary relation.
