Lattices of Lipschitz functions

Nikolai Isaac Weaver

Vol. 164 (1994), No. 1, 179–193
Abstract

Let M be a metric space. We observe that Lip(M) has a striking lattice structure: its closed unit ball is lattice-complete and completely distributive. This motivates further study into the lattice structure of Lip(M) and its relation to M. We find that there is a nice duality between M and Lip(M) (as a lattice). We also give an abstract classification of all normed vector lattices which are isomorphic to Lip(M) for some M.
