Abstract
The main result of this paper is a generalization of the classical equivalence between the category of continuous posets and the category of completely distributive lattices, based on the fact that the continuous posets are precisely the spectra of completely distributive lattices. Here we show that for so-called hereditary and union complete subset selections Z, the category of Z-continuous posets is equivalent (via a suitable spectrum functor) to the category of Z-supercompactly generated lattices; these are completely distributive lattices with a join-dense subset of certain Z-hypercompact elements. By appropriate change of the morphisms, these equivalences turn into dualities. We present two different approaches: the first one directly uses the Z-join ideal completion and the Z-below relation; the other combines two known equivalence theorems, namely a topological representation of Z-continuous posets and a general lattice theoretical representation of closure spaces.
