Abstract
The primary purpose of this paper is to study join-continuous frames. We present two representation theorems for them: one in terms of Λ-subframes of complete Boolean algebras and the other in terms of certain Priestley spaces. This second representation is used to prove that the topological spaces whose frame of open sets is join-continuous are characterized by a condition which says that certain intersections of open sets are open. Finally, we show that Priestley's duality can be viewed as a partialization of the dual adjunction between the categories of, respectively, bitopological spaces and biframes, stated by B. Banaschewski, G. C. L. Brümmer and K. A. Hardie in [5].
