Riesz representation theorems for positive linear operators
Abstract
We generalise the Riesz representation theorems for positive linear functionals on and , where is a locally compact Hausdorff space, to positive linear operators from these spaces into a partially ordered vector space . The representing measures are defined on the Borel -algebra of and take their values in the extended positive cone of ; the corresponding integrals are order integrals. We give explicit formulas for the values of the representing measures at open and at compact subsets of . Results are included where the space need not be a vector lattice, nor a normed space. Representing measures exist for positive linear operators into Banach lattices with order continuous norms, into the regular operators on a KB-space, into the self-adjoint linear operators in a weakly closed complex linear subspace of the bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert space, and into JBW-algebras.
