Hilary Ann Priestley is a British mathematician. She is a professor at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of St Anne's College, Oxford, where she has been Tutor in Mathematics since 1972.[2]
Hilary Priestley introduced ordered separable topological spaces; such topological spaces are now usually called Priestley spaces in her honour.[3] The term "Priestley duality" is also used for her application of these spaces in the representation theory of distributive lattices.[4]
