In mathematics, specifically in order theory and functional analysis, an abstract L-space, an AL-space, or an abstract Lebesgue space is a Banach lattice whose norm is additive on the positive cone of X.[1]

In probability theory, it means the standard probability space.[2]

Examples

edit

The strong dual of an AM-space with unit is an AL-space.[1]

Properties

edit

The reason for the name abstract L-space is because every AL-space is isomorphic (as a Banach lattice) with some subspace of  [1] Every AL-space X is an order complete vector lattice of minimal type; however, the order dual of X, denoted by X+, is not of minimal type unless X is finite-dimensional.[1] Each order interval in an AL-space is weakly compact.[1]

The strong dual of an AL-space is an AM-space with unit.[1] The continuous dual space   (which is equal to X+) of an AL-space X is a Banach lattice that can be identified with  , where K is a compact extremally disconnected topological space; furthermore, under the evaluation map, X is isomorphic with the band of all real Radon measures 𝜇 on K such that for every majorized and directed subset S of   we have  [1]
