If x is a group, we can take p to be the set of all subgroups or the set of all normal subgroups. We shall then prove, as our main result, that a poset of finite width possesses a unique ordercompatible topology, with respect to which it is a hausdorff. A topology on the vertex set of a comparability graph g is said to be compatible respectively, weakly compatible with g.
