Abstract
We generalize the notions of semidistributive elements and of prime ideals from lattices to arbitrary posets. Then we show that the Boolean prime ideal theorem is equivalent to the statement that if a poset P has a join-semidistributive top element then each proper ideal of P is contained in a prime ideal, while the converse implication holds without any choice principle. Furthermore, the prime ideal theorem is shown to be equivalent to the following order-theoretical generalization of Alexander's subbase lemma: If the top element of a poset P is join-semidistributive and compact in some subbase of P then it is compact in P.
