Uniformly closed sublattices of finite codimension

Abstract

The paper investigates uniformly closed subspaces, sublattices, and ideals of finite codimension in Archimedean vector lattices. It is shown that every uniformly closed subspace (or sublattice) of finite codimension may be written as an intersection of uniformly closed subspaces (respectively, sublattices) of codimension one. Every uniformly closed sublattice of codimension n contains a uniformly closed ideal of codimension at most . If the vector lattice is uniformly complete then every ideal of finite codimension is uniformly closed. Results of the paper extend (and are motivated by) results of Abramovich Y.A., Lipecki Z. [On ideals and sublattices in linear lattices and F-lattices. Math Proc Cambridge Philos Soc. 1990;108(1):79–87.; On lattices and algebras of simple functions. Comment Math Univ Carolin. 1990;31(4):627–635.], as well as Kakutani's characterization of closed sublattices of spaces.
