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.     

Riesz completions,functional representations,and anti-lattices

We show that the Riesz completion of an Archimedean partially ordered vector space $X$ with unit can be represented as a norm dense Riesz subspace of the smallest functional representation of $X.$ This yields a convenient way to find the Riesz completion. To illustrate the method, the Riesz completions of spaces ordered by Lorentz cones, cones of symmetric positive semi-definite matrices, and polyhedral cones are determined. We use the representation to analyse the existence of non-trivial disjoint elements and link the absence of such elements to the notion of anti-lattice. One of the results is a geometric condition on the dual cone of a finite dimensional partially ordered vector space $X$ that ensures that $X$ is an anti-lattice.     

Extension of positive functionals on certain ordered spaces

An ordered linear spaceL is said to satisfy extension property (E1) if for every directed subspaceM ofL and positive linear functional ϕ onM, ϕ can be extended toL. A Riesz spaceL is said to satisfy extension property (E2) if for every sub-Riesz spaceM ofL and every real valued Riesz homomorphism ϕ onM, ϕ can be extended toL as a Riesz homomorphism. These properties were introduced by Schmidt in [5]. In this paper, it is shown that an ordered linear space has extension property (E1) if and only if it is order isomorphic to a function spaceL′ defined on a setX′ such that iff andg belong toL′ there exists a finite disjoint subsetM of the set of functions onX′ such that each off andg is a linear combination of the points ofM. An analogous theorem is derived for Riesz spaces with extension property (E2).     

Ideals and bands in pre-Riesz spaces

In a vector lattice, ideals and bands are well-investigated subjects. We study similar notions in a pre-Riesz space. The pre-Riesz spaces are exactly the order dense linear subspaces of vector lattices. Restriction and extension properties of ideals, solvex ideals and bands are investigated. Since every Archimedean directed partially ordered vector space is pre-Riesz, we establish properties of ideals and bands in such spaces.      

On the variety of Riesz spaces

Finitely generated linearly ordered Riesz spaces are described, leading to a proof that the variety of Riesz spaces is generated as a quasivariety by the Riesz space ? of real numbers. The finitely generated Riesz spaces are also described: they are the subalgebras of real-valued function spaces on root systems of finite height.     

Amarts on Riesz Spaces

The concepts of conditional expectations, martingales and stopping times were extended to the Riesz space context by Kuo, Labuschagne and Watson （Discrete time stochastic processes on Riesz spaces, Indag. Math.,15（2004）, 435-451）. Here we extend the definition of an asymptotic martingale （amart） to the Riesz spaces context, and prove that Riesz space amarts can be decomposed into the sum of a martingale and an adapted sequence convergent to zero. Consequently an amart convergence theorem is deduced.     

Riesz–Kantorovich formulas for operators on multi-wedged spaces

We introduce the notions of multi-suprema and multi-infima for vector spaces equipped with a collection of wedges, generalizing the notions of suprema and infima in ordered vector spaces. Multi-lattices are vector spaces that are closed under multi-suprema and multi-infima and are thus an abstraction of vector lattices. The Riesz decomposition property in the multi-wedged setting is also introduced, leading to Riesz–Kantorovich formulas for multi-suprema and multi-infima in certain spaces of operators.     

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.     

Completion of merotopic spaces and extension of uniformly continuous maps

A general Riesz merotopic space (X, ν) determines a not necessarily topological closure operator c_ν on X. The space (X, ν) is said to be complete if every cluster on (X, ν) is contained in an adherence grill on (X, c_ν). We discuss a method of obtaining a large class of completions of a given Riesz merotopic space with induced T₁ closure space. As special cases we get the simple completion, which induces a simple closure space extension, and the strict completion, which induces a strict closure space extension. We show that the category of complete separated T₁ Riesz merotopic spaces is epireflective in the category of separated T₁ Riesz merotopic spaces, the reflection of an object being the simple completion. Similarly the category of complete clan-covered quasi-regular T₁ Riesz merotopic spaces is epireflective in the category of clan-covered quasi-regular T₁ Riesz merotopic spaces, the reflection of an object being the strict completion.     

Order closed ideals in pre-Riesz spaces and their relationship to bands

In Archimedean vector lattices bands can be introduced via three different coinciding notions. First, they are order closed ideals. Second, they are precisely those ideals which equal their double disjoint complements. The third concept is that of an ideal which contains the supremum of any of its bounded subsets, provided the supremum exists in the vector lattice. We investigate these three notions and their relationships in the more general setting of Archimedean pre-Riesz spaces. We introduce the notion of a supremum closed ideal, which is related to the third aforementioned notion in vector lattices. We show that for a directed ideal I in a pervasive pre-Riesz space with the Riesz decomposition property these three concepts coincide, provided the double disjoint complement of I is directed. In pervasive pre-Riesz spaces every directed band is supremum closed and every supremum closed directed ideal I equals its double disjoint complement, provided the double disjoint complement of I is directed. In general, in Archimedean pre-Riesz spaces the three notions differ. For this we provide appropriate counterexamples.     

Order completions of Archimedean Riesz spaces andl-groups

It is well-known that every Archimedean Riesz space (vector lattice) can be embedded in a certain minimal Dedekind complete Riesz space (itsDedekind completion) and that this space is essentially unique. There are other nice properties that a Riesz space can enjoy besides Dedekind completeness; for example, the projection property, the principal projection property,-Dedekind completeness, and (relative) uniform completeness. It is shown that every Archimedean Riesz space has an essentially unique completion with respect to each of these properties. These completions can be viewed as universal objects in appropriate categories. As such, their uniqueness is obvious (universal objects are always unique), and their existence can be demonstrated very simply by working within the Dedekind completion. This approach is free of clutter since all it needs is theexistence of the Dedekind completion, and not its particular form (which can be quite complicated). By using the same methods within the universal completion, we can isolate further order completions; in a sense, every possible order completion can be obtained in this way, since the universal completion is the largest Riesz space in which the original space is order dense. As an added bonus, all of our results apply equally well to Archimedeanl-groups.Presented by L. Fuchs.     

Bochner integrals in ordered vector spaces

We present a natural way to cover an Archimedean directed ordered vector space E by Banach spaces and extend the notion of Bochner integrability to functions with values in E. The resulting set of integrable functions is an Archimedean directed ordered vector space and the integral is an order preserving map.     

Conditional expectations on Riesz spaces

Conditional expectations operators acting on Riesz spaces are shown to commute with a class of principal band projections. Using the above commutation property, conditional expectation operators on Riesz spaces are shown to be averaging operators. Here the theory of f-algebras is used when defining multiplication on the Riesz spaces. This leads to the extension of these conditional expectation operators to their so-called natural domains, i.e., maximal domains for which the operators are both averaging operators and conditional expectations. The natural domain is in many aspects analogous to L¹.     

On a Generalization of the Notion of Orthogonality and on the Riesz Groups

A method for generalizing the notion of orthogonality to arbitrary partially ordered groups is considered. In the paper, the properties of almost orthogonal elements in Riesz groups are investigated. A series of results on convex directed subgroups associated with a pair of almost orthogonal elements of a Riesz group is obtained. For these subgroups, some theorems on homomorphisms are proved.     

The complexification of a lattice seminormed space

We introduce tensor products in the category of lattice seminormed spaces. We show that the reasonable cross vector seminorms on the complexification of a lattice seminormed space are the same as the admissible vector seminorms. We then specialize these results to complexifications of Archimedean Riesz spaces.     

Unbounded order continuous operators on Riesz spaces

In this paper, using the concept of unbounded order convergence in Riesz spaces, we define new classes of operators, named unbounded order continuous (uo-continuous, for short) and boundedly unbounded order continuous operators. We give some conditions under which uo-continuity will be equivalent to order continuity of some operators on Riesz spaces. We show that the collection of all uo-continuous linear functionals on a Riesz space E is a band of \(E^\sim \).     

Convergence of Riesz space martingales

We prove a martingale convergence for sub and super martingales on Riesz spaces. As a consequence we can form Krickeberg and Riesz like decompositions. The minimality of the Krickeberg decomposition yields a natural ordered lattice structure on the space of convergent martingales making this space into a Dedekind complete Riesz space. Finally we show that the Riesz space of convergent martingales is Riesz isomorphic to the order closure of the union of the ranges of the conditional expectations in the filtration. Consequently we can characterize the space of order convergent martingales both in Riesz spaces and in the setting of probability spaces.     

On the Riesz fusion bases in Hilbert spaces

In this paper we investigate the connection between fusion frames and obtain a relation between indexes of the synthesis operators of a Besselian fusion frame and associated frame to it. Next we introduce a new notion of a Riesz fusion bases in a Hilbert space. We show that any Riesz fusion basis is equivalent with a orthonormal fusion basis. We also obtain generalizations of Theorem 4.6 of [1]. Our results generalize results obtained for Riesz bases in Hilbert spaces. Finally we obtain some results about stability of fusion frame sequences under small perturbations.     

Polynomials on Riesz spaces

In this paper we investigate polynomial mappings on Riesz spaces. We give a characterization of positivity of homogeneous polynomials in terms of forward differences. Finally we prove Hahn-Banach type extension theorems for positive and regular polynomial mappings.
