On regular and sigma-smooth two valued measures and lattice generated topologies (Q1204374)

Summary: Let \(X\) be an abstract set and \({\mathbf L}\) a lattice of subsets of \(X\). \(I({\mathbf L})\) denotes the non-trivial zero one valued finitely additive measures on \(A({\mathbf L})\), the algebra generated by \({\mathbf L}\), and \(IR({\mathbf L})\) those elements of \(I({\mathbf L})\) that are \({\mathbf L}\)-regular. It is known that \(I({\mathbf L})=IR({\mathbf L})\) if and only if \({\mathbf L}\) is an algebra. We first give several new proofs of this fact and a number of characterizations of this in topological terms. Next we consider \(I(\sigma^*,{\mathbf L})\), the elements of \(I({\mathbf L})\) that are \(\sigma\)-smooth on \({\mathbf L}\), and \(IR(\sigma,{\mathbf L})\) those elements of \(I(\sigma^*,{\mathbf L})\) that are \({\mathbf L}\)-regular. We then obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for \(I(\sigma^*,{\mathbf L})=IR(\sigma,{\mathbf L})\), and in particular, we obtain conditions in terms of topological demands on associated Wallman spaces of the lattice.
