Linear functionals preserving the units of a Riesz space

Abstract: Let

L

be a Riesz space with a strong unit

e > 0

.

m a t h f r a k

We show that a unital linear functional

H : L i g h t a r r o w m a t h b b R

satisfies

% H l e f t (u i g h t) e q 0

for any strong unit

u i n L

if and only if

H

acts like a Riesz homomorphism on every

e

-clean vector subspace of

L .

We deduce that

L

is

e

-clean if and only if any unital linear functional

% H : L i g h t a r r o w m a t h b b R

such that

H l e f t (u i g h t) e q 0

for any strong unit

u i n L

is a Riesz homomorphism.
