Directed ideals in partially ordered vector spaces

For a linear subspace I$I$ of a Riesz space there are various well-known properties that are equivalent to I$I$ being an ideal, such as I$I$ is a full Riesz subspace, I$I$ is a solid subspace, I$I$ is a Riesz subspace and the kernel of a positive linear map, I$I$ is the kernel of a Riesz homomorphism. Generalizations of these properties to partially ordered vector spaces are considered and their relations are investigated. It is shown that for directed subspaces all these generalizations are equivalent, just as in the case of Riesz spaces.     

Subspaces of Normed Riesz Spaces

It will be shown that a normed partially ordered vector space is linearly, norm, and order isomorphic to a subspace of a normed Riesz space if and only if its positive cone is closed and its norm p satisfies p(x)p(y) for all x and y with -yxy. A similar characterization of the subspaces of M-normed Riesz spaces is given. With aid of the first characterization, Krein's lemma on directedness of norm dual spaces can be directly derived from the result for normed Riesz spaces. Further properties of the norms ensuing from the characterization theorem are investigated. Also a generalization of the notion of Riesz norm is studied as an analogue of the r-norm from the theory of spaces of operators. Both classes of norms are used to extend results on spaces of operators between normed Riesz spaces to a setting with partially ordered vector spaces. Finally, a partial characterization of the subspaces of Riesz spaces with Riesz seminorms is given.

Semi-groupes de Riesz d'ordre α sur le demi-espace

Nous donnons une forme équivalente de la densité du semi-groupe de Riesz d'ordre sur le demi-espace. La nouvelle forme nous permet d'établir des critères de comparaison du semi-groupe de Riesz d'ordre et de la résolvante associée avec leurs perturbés par une mesure de Radon positive. Abstract. We give an equivalent form of the density of the Riesz semigroup on the half space. The new form allows us to establish criterions of comparison of the Riesz semigroup and the associated resolvent with their perturbed by a nonnegative Radon measure.     

Normality-Type Properties and Covariant Functors

Topological properties similar to normality are considered in subspaces of products and powers of topological spaces, of spaces of closed subsets, and of spaces having the form (X), where is a normal functor. __________ Translated from Fundamentalnaya i Prikladnaya Matematika, Vol. 9, No. 2, pp. 57–98, 2003.     

An Andô-Douglas type theorem in Riesz spaces with a conditional expectation

In this paper we formulate and prove analogues of the Hahn-Jordan decomposition and an Andô-Douglas-Radon-Nikodým theorem in Dedekind complete Riesz spaces with a weak order unit, in the presence of a Riesz space conditional expectation operator. As a consequence we can characterize those subspaces of the Riesz space which are ranges of conditional expectation operators commuting with the given conditional expectation operators and which have a larger range space. This provides the first step towards a formulation of Markov processes on Riesz spaces.     

Banach-Stone theorems and Riesz algebras

Let X, Y be compact Hausdorff spaces and let E, F be both Banach lattices and Riesz algebras. In this paper, the following main result shall be proved: If F has no zero-divisor and there exists a Riesz algebraic isomorphism such that Φ(f) has no zero if f has none, then X is homeomorphic to Y and E is Riesz algebraically isomorphic to F.     

On θ-Principal Extension and H-Closedness

A type of extensions called the -extention of topological spaces and their -equivalence and -trace systems are introduced, which ultimately characterize H-closed -extensions of a Hausdorff topological space. Also, the notion of -principal extensions is defined. A typical -principal extension consisting of certain grills on a Hausdorff space is constructed, and finally, some characterizations of H-closedness of a Hausdorff space are obtained.AMS Subject Classification (2000) 54D30 54D99     

Weak Barriers in Nonlinear Potential Theory

We characterize regular boundary points for p-harmonic functions using weak barriers. We use this to obtain some consequences on boundary regularity. The results also hold for -harmonic functions under the usual assumptions on , and for Cheeger p-harmonic functions in metric spaces.      

On Connectedness via Closure Operators

This paper describes a convenient modification of the approach presented in the paper Closure operators and connectedness by G. Castellini and D. Hajek, which is shown to give a suitable generalization of left- and right-constant subcategories, both at the object and the morphism levels. We show in particular that the framework we introduce here allows the simultaneous study of the classes of connected topological spaces, of concordant continuous maps and of monotone continuous maps.     

Riesz transforms for the Dunkl harmonic oscillator

We propose an approach to the theory of Riesz transforms in a framework emerging from certain reflection symmetries in Euclidean spaces. Relying on Rösler’s construction of multivariable generalized Hermite functions associated with a finite reflection group on \({\mathbb R^d}\), we define and investigate a system of Riesz transforms related to the Dunkl harmonic oscillator. In the case isomorphic with the group \({\mathbb{Z}^d_2}\) it is proved that the Riesz transforms are Calderón–Zygmund operators in the sense of the associated space of homogeneous type, thus their mapping properties follow from the general theory.     

Metric σ-Frames versus Metric Lindelof Spaces

The adjoint relation between the category RegFrm, of regular -frames, Alex, of Alexandroff spaces, are studied in [9]. Here, we introduce the category MFrm, of metric -frames and give the adjoint relation between this category and the category MLSp, of metric Lindelof spaces, and show that MLSp is dually equivalent to the category of Alexandroff metric -frames.AMS Subject Classification: 06D99-54B30     

Riesz* homomorphisms on pre-Riesz spaces consisting of continuous functions

In the theory of operators on a Riesz space (vector lattice), an important result states that the Riesz homomorphisms (lattice homomorphisms) on C(X) are exactly the weighted composition operators. We extend this result to Riesz* homomorphisms on order dense subspaces of C(X). On those subspace we consider and compare various classes of operators that extend the notion of a Riesz homomorphism. Furthermore, using the weighted composition structure of Riesz* homomorphisms we obtain several results concerning bijective Riesz* homomorphisms. In particular, we characterize the automorphism group for order dense subspaces of C(X). Lastly, we develop a similar theory for Riesz* homomorphisms on subspace of \(C_0(X)\), for a locally compact Hausdorff space X, and apply it to smooth manifolds and Sobolev spaces.     

On the a.s. Cesàro-α convergence for stationary or orthogonal random variables

We give a new direct proof of the a.s. convergence of the Cesàro- means of a stationary process (X _n) when 0<<1 andE(X _n ^p )<+ with p>1 and we show that this result does not hold in general for p=1. We also consider similar questions for orthogonal random variables. Finally, we study the a.s. convergence of Riesz harmonic means.     

On discrete and continuous quotient Riesz spaces

Order properties of quotient Riesz spaces E/N(f) by null ideals N(f) are investigated. We show relationships between properties of a Riesz space E and its order dual E ^~ and properties of quotients E/N(f) where f runs over some subspaces of E ^~. A characterization of metrizable locally convex topological Riesz spaces whose all quotients (by proper closed ideals) are discrete is also given.     

Relationship between solid cones and cones with bases

This paper establishes a relation between -based cones and solid cones in a separated locally convex topological vector space. The relation reveals that the properties of the base of a based cone affect deeply the topological properties of the dual cone.The author would like to thank Professor C. C. Huang for his discussion on the proof of Corollary 2.1. The author is also grateful to the referees for helpful comments and suggestions.     

On concavity and supermodularity

Concavity and supermodularity are in general independent properties. A class of functionals defined on a lattice cone of a Riesz space has the Choquet property when it is the case that its members are concave whenever they are supermodular. We show that for some important Riesz spaces both the class of positively homogeneous functionals and the class of translation invariant functionals have the Choquet property. We extend in this way the results of Choquet [G. Choquet, Theory of capacities, Ann. Inst. Fourier (Grenoble) 5 (1953-1954) 131-295] and König [H. König, The (sub/super) additivity assertion of Choquet, Studia Math. 157 (2003) 171-197].
