Topological aspects of order in C(X)

Abstract: In this paper we consider the relationship between order and topology in the vector lattice

C_{b} (X)

of all bounded continuous functions on a Hausdorff space

X

. We prove that the restriction of

f i n C_{b} (X)

to a closed set

A

induces an order continuous operator iff

A = o v e r l i n e m a t h r m I n t A .

This result enables us to easily characterize bands and projection bands in

C_{0} (X)

and

C_{b} (X)

through the one-point compactification and the Stone-v{C}ech compactification of

X

, respectively. With these characterizations we describe order complete

C_{0} (X)

and

C_{b} (X)

-spaces in terms of extremally disconnected spaces. Our results serve us to solve an open question on lifting un-convergence in the case of

C_{0} (X)

and

C_{b} (X)

.
