Solid set

In mathematics, specifically in order theory and functional analysis, a subset S of a vector lattice is said to be solid and is called an ideal if for all s in S and x in X, if |x| ≤ |s| then x belongs to S. An ordered vector space whose order is Archimedean is said to be Archimedean ordered.[1] If S is a subset of X then the ideal generated by S is the smallest ideal in X containing S. An ideal generated by a singleton set is called a principal ideal in X.

Examples

The intersection of an arbitrary collection of ideals in X is again an ideal and furthermore, X is clearly an ideal of itself; thus every subset of X is contained in a unique smallest ideal.

In a locally convex vector lattice X, the polar of every solid neighborhood of 0 is a solid subset of the continuous dual space ; moreover, the family of all solid equicontinuous subsets of is a fundamental family of equicontinuous sets, the polars (in bidual ) form a neighborhood base of the origin for the natural topology on (i.e. the topology of uniform convergence on equicontinuous subset of ).[2]

Properties
  • A solid subspace of a vector lattice X is necessarily a sublattice of X.[1]
  • If N is a solid subspace of a vector lattice X then the quotient X/N is a vector lattice (under the canonical order).[1]
