Abstract

We characterize the Archimedean vector lattices that admit a positively homogeneous continuous function calculus by showing that the following two conditions are equivalent for each nn-tuple x=(x1,,xn)Xn\boldsymbol{x} = (x_1,\ldots,x_n)\in X^n, where XX is an Archimedean vector lattice and nNn\in\mathbb N: - there is a vector lattice homomorphism Φx ⁣:HnX\Phi_{\boldsymbol{x}}\colon H_n\to X such that Φx(πi(n))=xi\Phi_{\boldsymbol{x}}(\pi_i^{(n)})=x_i (i{1,,n})(i\in\{1,\ldots,n\}), where HnH_n denotes the vector lattice of positively homogeneous, continuous, real-valued functions defined on Rn\mathbb R^n and πi(n) ⁣:RnR\pi_i^{(n)}\colon\mathbb R^n\to\mathbb R is the ithi^{\text{th}} coordinate projection; - there is a positive element eXe\in X such that ex1xne\geqslant\lvert x_1\rvert\vee\cdots\vee\lvert x_n\rvert and the norm xe=inf{λ[0,) ⁣:xλe}\lVert x\rVert_e = \inf\bigl\{\lambda\in[0,\infty)\:\colon\:\lvert x\rvert\le\lambda e\bigr\}, defined for each xx in the order ideal IeI_e of XX generated by ee, is complete when restricted to the closed sublattice of IeI_e generated by x1,,xnx_1,\ldots,x_n. Moreover, we show that a vector space which admits a `sufficiently strong' HnH_n-function calculus for each nNn\in\mathbb N is automatically a vector lattice, and we explore the situation in the non-Archimedean case by showing that some non-Archimedean vector lattices admit a positively homogeneous continuous function calculus, while others do not.
