Topological properties of spaces ordered by preferences

In this paper, we analyze the main topological properties of a relevant class of topologies associated with spaces ordered by preferences (asymmetric, negatively transitive binary relations). This class consists of certain continuous topologies which include the order topology. The concept of satura...

Description
Summary:In this paper, we analyze the main topological properties of a relevant class of topologies associated with spaces ordered by preferences (asymmetric, negatively transitive binary relations). This class consists of certain continuous topologies which include the order topology. The concept of saturated identification is introduced in order to provide a natural proof of the fact that all these spaces possess topological properties analogous to those of linearly ordered topological spaces, inter alia monotone and hereditary normality, and complete regularity.
