for every
a \
0 in R (we then say that the order is
compatible with the
vector space structure). If
(E, [
) is also a
lattice (a mathematical notion
not to be confused with physical lattices), i.e., if for any
f, g ¥
E, sup
{f, g}
and inf
{f, g} are in
E, then we call
E a
Riesz space.
In a real Riesz space it makes sense to define the
absolute value of
a vector as
|f|=sup
{f, −f}, because a Riesz space is a lattice. The
extension of this notion to complex Riesz spaces is
|f|=sup
{Re
( fe
−ih
),
0 [
h < 2p} (notice that the latter definition reduces to the former one for
real elements of the Riesz space). This element, though, is not guaranteed
to belong to the Riesz space or even to exist at all.
When a Riesz space
E has a norm,
|| · ||, such that for
f, g ¥
E,
|f| [
|g|
implies
||f|| [
||g|| (i.e.,
compatible with the order), then
E is a
normed Riesz
space. If the normed Riesz space
E is complete in the norm (i.e., every
Cauchy sequence converges in
E or, in other words, if
E is a Banach
space), then
E is called a
Banach lattice. In a complex Banach lattice,
completeness ensures that
|f| (see above) is always a well-defined element
of it.
