Riesz representation theorems for vector lattices and Banach lattices of regular operators
Abstract
For a non-empty locally compact Hausdorff space and a Dedekind complete normal vector lattice , we show that the vector lattice of norm to order bounded operators from or into is isomorphic to the vector lattice of -valued regular Borel measures on . When is an order continuous Banach lattice, the isomorphism is an isometric isomorphism between Banach lattices. When is compact, every regular operator from into is norm to order bounded. For some spaces , such as KB-spaces or the regular operators on a KB-space, every regular operator from into is norm to order bounded. Additional results are obtained for the whole space of regular operators from into an order continuous Banach lattice. As a preparation, vector lattices and Banach lattices, resp. cones, of measures with values in a Dedekind complete vector lattice , resp. in the extended positive cone of , are investigated, as well as vector and Banach lattices of norm to order bounded operators. When is the real numbers, our results specialise to the well-known Riesz representation theorems for the order and norm duals of and .
