Topologies corresponding to metrics on $$\ell$$-groups. (English) Zbl 0578.06013
Let G be a lattice ordered group and let H be an abelian lattice ordered group. A mapping $$v: G\to H$$ is said to be an $$\ell p$$-valuation on G if $$v(x)+v(y)=v(x\vee y)+v(x\wedge y)$$ for all $$x,y\in G$$. Put $$d(x,y)=v(x\vee y)-v(x\wedge y)$$, $$\bar v(x)=v(x)-v(0)$$. Then d is called an $$\ell$$-metric on G. The author investigates conditions (expressed in terms of the $$\ell$$-metric d) for $$\bar v$$ to be a group homomorphism. Further there are studied two topologies on G defined by means of d (under the assumption that d is compatible with the group operation). In the first of these topologies, the complete system of neighbourhoods of 0 is $$\{U_ h\}_{0\neq h\in H}$$, where $$U_ h=\{g\in G:$$ $$\bar v(| g|)<| h|\}$$; in the second one the corresponding system is $$\{U^ h\}_{0\neq h\in H}$$, where $$U^ h=\{g\in G:$$ $$\check v{\bar{\;}}(| g|)$$ non$$\geq | h| \}$$.
