A solution to the MV-spectrum Problem in size aleph one
Résumé
Denote by Idc G the lattice of all principal l-ideals of an Abelian l-group G. Our main result is the following.
Theorem. For every countable Abelian l-group G, every countable completely normal distributive 0-lattice L, and every closed 0-lattice homomorphism \varphi : Idc G -> L, there are a countable Abelian l-group H, an l-homomorphism f: G -> H, and a lattice isomorphism \iota: Idc H -> L such that \varphi = \iota \circ Idc f..
We record the following consequences of that result:
(1) A 0-lattice homomorphism \varphi: K -> L, between countable completely normal distributive 0-lattices, can be represented, with respect to the functor Idc, by an l-homomorphism of Abelian l-groups iff it is closed.
(2) A distributive 0-lattice D of cardinality at most \aleph_1 is isomorphic to some Idc G iff D is completely normal and for all a,b \in D the set of x such that a \leq b \vee x has a countable coinitial subset.
This solves Mundici's MV-spectrum Problem for cardinalities up to \aleph_1.
The bound \aleph_1 is sharp.
Item (1) is extended to commutative diagrams indexed by forests in which every node has countable height.
All our results are stated in terms of vector lattices over any countable totally ordered division ring.
