Extract

Let X be a real Banach space which is partially ordered by a closed cone C. Let X* denote the Banach dual space, and let

X is called a simplex space (2) if (X*, C*,‖·‖) is an AL-space. We proved in (3) that X is a simplex space if and only if X is an approximate order-unit-normed space and has the Riesz decomposition property. When the given norm on X is an order-unit norm, some representation theorems are obtained by Effros ((2), theorem 4·8) and Sterrmer ((6), theorem 4·3). In this note, we shall study the representation problem for more general simplex spaces. One of our aims is to prove that X is equivalent to C0(ω) if and only if X has the Urysohn property (for definitions, see below).
