Abstract
We consider topologies on an abelian lattice ordered group that are determined by the absolute value and a positive filter. We show that the topological completions of these objects are also determined by the absolute value and a positive filter. We investigate the connection between the topological completion of such objects and the Dedekind–MacNeille completion of the underlying lattice ordered group. We consider the preservation of completeness for such topologies with respect to homomorphisms of lattice ordered groups. Finally, we show that topologies defined in terms of absolute value and a positive filter on the space C(X) of all real-valued continuous functions defined on a completely regular topological space X are always complete.
