Abstract
In 1962, the author proved that each reduced archimedean f-ring can be represented as an f-ring of continuous extended real-valued function on a locally compact space. The existence of this representation has proved to be quite useful; however, the proof so obscured the definition of the representing functions that deeper applications have remained out of reach. In this paper, we give a new proof of this result; one in which the derivation of the representing functions is more readily accessible. This accessibility is exploited to prove that f-ring homomorphisms on reduced archimedean f-rings are induced by continuous maps between subspaces of their representing spaces, and this leads to further insights into the structure of such homomorphisms.
