Abstract: A connection in Kubo-Ando sense is a binary operation for positive operators on a Hilbert space satisfying the monotonicity, the transformer inequality and the continuity from above. A mean is a connection sigma such that AsigmaA=A for all positive operators A. In this paper, we consider the interplay between the cone of connections, the cone of operator monotone functions on R+ and the cone of finite Borel measures on [0,infty]. %We define a norm for a connection in such a way that the set of operator connections becomes %a normed ordered cone. %On the other hand, the cone of operator monotone functions on R+ %and the cone of finite Borel measures on [0,infty] are equipped with suitable norms. The set of operator connections is shown to be isometrically order-isomorphic, as normed ordered cones, to the set of operator monotone functions on R+. This set is isometrically isomorphic, as normed cones, to the set of finite Borel measures on [0,infty]. It follows that the convergences of the sequence of connections, the sequence of their representing functions and the sequence of their representing measures are equivalent. In addition, we obtain characterizations for a connection to be a mean. In fact, a connection is a mean if and only if it has norm 1.
