Abstract
It is well known that the lattice \({{\,\mathrm{Id_c}\,}}{G}\) of all principal \(\ell \)-ideals of any Abelian \(\ell \)-group G is a completely normal distributive 0-lattice; yet not every completely normal distributive 0-lattice is a homomorphic image of some \({{\,\mathrm{Id_c}\,}}{G}\), via a counterexample of cardinality \(\aleph _2\). We prove that every completely normal distributive 0-lattice with at most \(\aleph _1\) elements is a homomorphic image of some \({{\,\mathrm{Id_c}\,}}{G}\). By Stone duality, this means that every completely normal generalized spectral space with at most \(\aleph _1\) compact open sets is homeomorphic to a spectral subspace of the \(\ell \)-spectrum of some Abelian \(\ell \)-group.

Notes
Strictly speaking we should set the Heyting implication \(\rightarrow \) apart from the lattice signature, thus for example stating that “every finite distributive lattice expands to a unique Heyting algebra”. The shorter formulation, which we shall keep for the sake of simplicity, reflects a standard abuse of terminology that should create no confusion here.
“Right” and “left” appear to have been unfortunately mixed up at various places in [18], particularly on pages 12 and 13. Since this is mostly a matter of choosing sides, that paper’s results are unaffected. We nonetheless attempt to fix this here.
