Factorization by lattice homomorphisms (Q762748)

The main theorem is the following theorem which generalizes a Radon- Nikodym type theorem due to \textit{W. A. J. Luxemburg} and \textit{A. R. Schep} [Indag. Math. 40, 357-375 (1978; Zbl 0389.47018)]. Let E, F, G be Banach lattices, E order complete and \(V: F\to G\) be a lattice homomorphism. Given a positive linear mapping \(S: G\to E\), every positive linear \(T: F\to E\) satisfying \(T\leq S\circ V\) admits a factorization \(T=S_ 1\circ V\) where \(S_ 1: G\to E\) is linear and \(0\leq S_ 1\leq S\). Applications to injective Banach lattices and spectral theory are given.
