Lattice norms on the unitization of a truncated normed Riesz space

Abstract

Truncated Riesz spaces was first introduced by Fremlin in the context of real-valued functions. An appropriate axiomatization of the concept was given by Ball. Keeping only the first Ball's Axiom (among three) as a definition of truncated Riesz spaces, the first named author and El Adeb proved that if $E$ is truncated Riesz space then $E\oplus\mathbb{R}$ can be equipped with a non-standard structure of Riesz space such that $E$ becomes a Riesz subspace of $E\oplus\mathbb{R}$ and the truncation of $E$ is provided by meet with $1$. In the present paper, we assume that the truncated Riesz space $E$ has a lattice norm $\left\Vert .\right\Vert $ and we give a necessary and sufficient condition for $E\oplus\mathbb{R}$ to have a lattice norm extending $\left\Vert .\right\Vert $. Moreover, we show that under this condition, the set of all lattice norms on $E\oplus\mathbb{R}$ extending $\left\Vert .\right\Vert $ has essentially a largest element $\left\Vert .\right\Vert _{1}$ and a smallest element $\left\Vert .\right\Vert _{0}$. Also, it turns out that any alternative lattice norm on $E\oplus\mathbb{R}$ is either equivalent to $\left\Vert .\right\Vert _{1}$ or equals $\left\Vert .\right\Vert _{0}$. As consequences, we show that $E\oplus\mathbb{R}$ is a Banach lattice if and only if $E$ is a Banach lattice and we get a representation's theorem sustained by the celebrate Kakutani's Representation Theorem.
