Meet Uniform Continuous Posets

Abstract:

      In this paper, as a generalization of uniform continuous posets, the concept of meet uniform continuous posets via uniform Scott sets is introduced. Properties and characterizations of meet uniform continuous posets are presented. The main results are: (1) A uniform complete poset $L$ is meet uniform continuous iff $\uparrow\!(U\cap \downarrow x)$ is a uniform Scott set for each $x\in L$ and each uniform Scott set $U$; (2) A uniform complete poset $L$ is meet uniform continuous iff for each $x\in L$ and each uniform subset $S$, one has $x\wedge \bigvee S=\bigvee \{x\wedge s\mid s\in S\}$. In particular, a complete lattice $L$ is meet uniform continuous iff $L$ is a complete Heyting algebra; (3) A uniform complete poset is meet uniform continuous iff every principal ideal is meet uniform continuous iff all closed intervals are meet uniform continuous iff all principal filters are meet uniform continuous; (4) A uniform complete poset $L$ is meet uniform continuous if $L^1$ obtained by adjoining a top element 1 to $L$ is a complete Heyting algebra; (5) Finite products and images of uniform continuous projections of meet uniform continuous posets are still meet uniform continuous.
