Extract

This paper is concerned with topologies for vector lattices (in the sense of (1)) or spaces that satisfy the axioms K 1, 2, 3′ and 4 of (5) that are given by neighbourhoods. The notions of convergence introduced by Kantorovitch(5) and Birkhoff(1) do not in general lead to topologies which can be denned in terms of open sets, as, even for directed systems, the notion of closure derived from them is not such that the closure of every set is closed. In order to ensure this Kantorovitch introduces an axiom (his K6) which excludes even some Banach lattices. These notions of convergence are based more on the lattice aspect than the vector-space aspect of a vector lattice. In this paper the reverse is true, and it deals essentially with the application of the theory of topological vector spaces, as developed by von Neumann(9), Mackey (6, 7) and others, to vector lattices.
