Ordered topological vector space

If C is a cone in a TVS X then C is normal if ${\displaystyle {\mathcal {U}}=\left[{\mathcal {U}}\right]_{C}}$, where ${\displaystyle {\mathcal {U}}}$ is the neighborhood filter at the origin, ${\displaystyle \left[{\mathcal {U}}\right]_{C}=\left\{\left[U\right]:U\in {\mathcal {U}}\right\}}$, and ${\displaystyle [U]_{C}:=\left(U+C\right)\cap \left(U-C\right)}$ is the C-saturated hull of a subset U of X.[2]

If C is a cone in a TVS X (over the real or complex numbers), then the following are equivalent:[2]

1. C is a normal cone.
2. For every filter ${\displaystyle {\mathcal {F}}}$ in X, if ${\displaystyle \lim {\mathcal {F}}=0}$ then ${\displaystyle \lim \left[{\mathcal {F}}\right]_{C}=0}$.
3. There exists a neighborhood base ${\displaystyle {\mathcal {B}}}$ in X such that ${\displaystyle B\in {\mathcal {B}}}$ implies ${\displaystyle \left[B\cap C\right]_{C}\subseteq B}$.

and if X is a vector space over the reals then also:[2]

1. There exists a neighborhood base at the origin consisting of convex, balanced, C-saturated sets.
2. There exists a generating family ${\displaystyle {\mathcal {P}}}$ of semi-norms on X such that ${\displaystyle p(x)\leq p(x+y)}$ for all ${\displaystyle x,y\in C}$ and ${\displaystyle p\in {\mathcal {P}}}$.

If the topology on X is locally convex then the closure of a normal cone is a normal cone.[2]

• Let X be an ordered vector space over the reals that is finite-dimensional. Then the order of X is Archimedean if and only if the positive cone of X is closed for the unique topology under which X is a Hausdorff TVS.[1]
• Let X be an ordered vector space over the reals with positive cone C. Then the following are equivalent:[1]

1. the order of X is regular.
2. C is sequentially closed for some Hausdorff locally convex TVS topology on X and ${\displaystyle X^{+}}$ distinguishes points in X
3. the order of X is Archimedean and C is normal for some Hausdorff locally convex TVS topology on X.
