Abstract

A detailed study is made of the contravariant functor D which assigns to each compact Hausdorff space X the bounded distributive lattice DX of all functions on X with values in the unit interval, and of some variants of D. In particular, D is shown to have a left inverse, and a duality for compact Hausdorff spaces is derived from D.
