Characterizations of Riesz spaces with b-property

A Riesz space E is said to have b-property if each subset which is order bounded in E(similar to similar to) is order bounded in E. The relationship between b-property and completeness, being a retract and the absolute weak topology vertical bar sigma vertical bar (E(similar to), E) is studied. Perfect Riesz spaces are characterized in terms of b-property. It is shown that b-property coincides with the Levi property in Dedekind complete Frechet lattices
