?-group homomorphisms between reduced archimedean f-rings

Let A and B be reduced archimedean f-rings, A with identity e; let $A\,\mathop \to \limits^\gamma\,BLet A and B be reduced archimedean f-rings, A with identity e; let A \mathop ? ^g BA\,\mathop \to \limits^\gamma\,B be an ℓ-group homomorphism, and set w = γ (e). We show (with some vagaries of phrasing here) (1) γ = w·ρ for a canonical ℓ-ring homomorphism A \mathop ? ^r B (w)A\,\mathop \to \limits^\rho\,B (w), where B (w) is an extension of B in which w is a von Neumann regular element, and (2) for X _A ,X _B canonical representation spaces for A, B, γ is realized via composition with a unique partially defined continuous function from X _B to X _A .
