Order intervals in . Compactness, coincidence of topologies, metrizability
Let be a compact space and let be the Banach lattice of real-valued continuous functions on . We establish eleven conditions equivalent to the strong compactness of the order interval in , including the following ones: (i) consists of isolated points of ; (ii) is pointwise compact; (iii) is weakly compact; (iv) the strong topology and that of pointwise convergence coincide on ; (v) the strong and weak topologies coincide on . Moreover, the weak topology and that of pointwise convergence...
