Distributive Lattices with a Negation Operator

In this note we introduce and study algebras ( L , V, A, 1, 0,l) of type (2,2,1,1,1) such that ( L , V, A, 0 , l ) is a bounded distributive lattice and -,is an operator that satisfies the conditions -,(a V b ) = -,a A -,b and -0 = 1. We develop the topological duality between these algebras and Priestley spaces with a relation. In addition, we characterize the congruences and the subalgebras of such an algebra. As an application, we will determine the Priestley spaces of quasi-Stone algebras. Mathematics Subject Classification: 06D05, 06D16, 03G10.
