Abstract
In this paper, we present a topological duality for partially ordered sets. We use the duality to give a topological construction of the canonical extension of a poset, and we also topologically represent the quasi-monotone maps, that is, maps from a finite product of posets to a poset that are order-preserving or order-reversing in each coordinate.
