On the sequential order continuity of the <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis>)-space

As shown in 1], for each compact Hausdorff space K without isolated points, there exists a compact Hausdorff P′-space X but not an F-space such that C(K) is isometrically Riesz isomorphic to a Riesz subspace of C(X). The proof is technical and depends heavily on some representation theorems. In this paper we give a simple and direct proof without any assumptions on isolated points. Some generalizations of these results are mentioned.
