Abstract: Let (Phi,Psi) be a conjugate pair of Orlicz functions. A set in the Orlicz space LPhi is said to be order closed if it is closed with respect to dominated convergence of sequences of functions. A well known problem arising from the theory of risk measures in financial mathematics asks whether order closedness of a convex set in LPhi characterizes closedness with respect to the topology sigma(LPhi,LPsi). (See [26, p.3585].) In this paper, we show that for a norm bounded convex set in LPhi, order closedness and sigma(LPhi,LPsi)-closedness are indeed equivalent. In general, however, coincidence of order closedness and sigma(LPhi,LPsi)-closedness of convex sets in LPhi is equivalent to the validity of the Krein-Smulian Theorem for the topology sigma(LPhi,LPsi); that is, a convex set is sigma(LPhi,LPsi)-closed if and only if it is closed with respect to the bounded-sigma(LPhi,LPsi) topology. As a result, we show that order closedness and sigma(LPhi,LPsi)-closedness of convex sets in LPhi are equivalent if and only if either Phi or Psi satisfies the Delta2-condition. Using this, we prove the surprising result that: emph{If (and only if) Phi and Psi both fail the Delta2-condition, then there exists a coherent risk measure on LPhi that has the Fatou property but fails the Fenchel-Moreau dual representation with respect to the dual pair (LPhi,LPsi)}. A similar analysis is carried out for the dual pair of Orlicz hearts (HPhi,HPsi).
