Lawson topology
In mathematics and theoretical computer science the Lawson topology, named after J. D. Lawson, is a topology on partially ordered sets used in the study of domain theory. The lower topology on a poset P is generated by the subbasis consisting of all complements of principal filters on P. The Lawson topology on P is the smallest common refinement of the lower topology and the Scott topology on P.
Properties
- If P is a complete upper semilattice, the Lawson topology on P is always a complete T1 topology.
