On Riesz homomorphisms in unital -algebras
The main topic of the first section of this paper is the following theorem: let be an Archimedean -algebra with unit element , and a Riesz homomorphism such that for all . Then every Riesz homomorphism extension of from the Dedekind completion of into itself satisfies for all . In the second section this result is applied in several directions. As a first application it is applied to show a result about extensions of positive projections to the Dedekind completion. A second application...
