Lattice isomorphisms between certain sublattices of continuous functions

Abstract: Let

C (X, I)

be the lattice of all continuous functions on a compact Hausdorff space

X

with values in the unit interval

I = [0, 1]

. We show that for compact Hausdorff spaces

X

and

Y

and (not necessarily contain constants) sublattices

A

and

B

of

C (X, I)

and

C (Y, I)

, respectively, which satisfy a certain separation property, any lattice isomorphism

v a r p h i : A l o n g r i g h t a r r o w B

induces a homeomorphism

m u : Y l o n g r i g h t a r r o w X

. If, furthermore,

A

and

B

are closed under the multiplication, then

v a r p h i

has a representation

v a r p h i (f) (y) = m_{y} (f (m u (y)))

,

f i n A

, for all points

y

in a dense

G_{d} e l t a

subset

Y_{0}

of

Y

, where each

m_{y}

is a strictly increasing continuous bijection on

I

. In particular, for the case where

X

and

Y

are metric spaces and

A

and

B

are the lattices of all Lipschitz functions with values in

I

, the set

Y_{0}

is the whole of

Y

.
