Homomorphisms of the lattice of slowly oscillating functions on the half-line

Abstract

[EN] We study the space H(SO) of all homomorphisms of the vector lattice of all slowly oscillating functions on the half-line ℍ = [ 0 , ∞ ) . In contrast to the case of homomorphisms of uniformly continuous functions, it is shown that a homomorphism in H(SO) which maps the unit to zero must be zero-homomorphism. Consequently, we show that the space H(SO) without zero-homomorphism is homeomorphic to ℍ x (0, ∞). By describing a neighborhood base of zero-homomorphism, we show that H(SO) is homeomorphic to the space ℍ x (0, ∞) with one point added.
