The Wickstead Problem

Functional Analysis 2011-05-31 v4

Abstract

In 1977 Anthony Wickstead raised the question of the conditions for all band preserving linear operators to be order bounded in a vector lattice. This article overviews the main ideas and results on the Wickstead problem and its variations, focusing primarily on the case of band preserving operators in a universally complete vector lattice.
