On the geometry of an order unit space

Abstract

We introduce the notion of skeleton\mathit{skeleton} with a head in a non-zero real vector space. We prove that skeletons with heads describe order unit spaces geometrically. Next, we consider the notion of periphery\mathit{periphery} corresponding to an order unit space which is a part of the skeleton. We note that periphery consists of boundary elements of the positive cone with unit norms. We discuss some elementary properties of the periphery. We also find a condition under which VV would contain a copy of n\ell_{\infty}^n for some nNn \in \mathbb{N} as an order unit subspace.
