Abstract
We prove that the category of continuous lattices and meet- and directed join-preserving maps is dually equivalent, via the hom functor to , to the category of complete Archimedean meet-semilattices equipped with a finite meet-preserving action of the monoid of continuous monotone maps of fixing . We also prove an analogous duality for completely distributive lattices. Moreover, we prove that these are essentially the only well-behaved "sound classes of joins , dual to a class of meets" for which "-continuous lattice" and "-algebraic lattice" are different notions, thus for which a -valued duality does not suffice.
