Abstract
We show that every continuous valuation on a locally convex, locally convex-compact, sober topological cone has a barycenter. This barycenter is unique, and the barycenter map is continuous, hence is the structure map of a -algebra, i.e., an Eilenberg-Moore algebra of the extended valuation monad on the category of topological spaces; it is, in fact, the unique -algebra that induces the cone structure on .
