Symetries isometriques applications a la dualite des espaces reticules

We show that ifE is a non-reflexive Banach lattice, there exists for everyn a dual of finite even order ofE which contins isometicallyl _n ^/l . We show that itE is a Banach lattice which is isometric to the dual of a Banach spaceX, then the order intervals are σ (E, X)-compact. We prove then that under various conditions, a Banach lattice which is a dual as a Banach space, is a dual as a Banach lattice. In particular, this is true when the predual ofE is unique.
