Abstract

We prove an identity for sesquilinear maps from the Cartesian square of a vector space to a geometric mean closed Archimedean (real or complex) vector lattice, from which the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality follows. A reformulation of this result for sesquilinear maps with a geometric mean closed semiprime Archimedean (real or complex) ff-algebra as codomain is also given. In addition, a sufficient and necessary condition for equality is presented. We also prove the H\"older inequality for weighted geometric mean closed Archimedean (real or complex) Φ\Phi-algebras, improving results by Boulabiar and Toumi. As a consequence, the Minkowski inequality for weighted geometric mean closed Archimedean (real or complex) Φ\Phi-algebras is obtained.
