A lattice space is defined to be an ordered pair whose first component is an arbitrary set X and whose second component is an arbitrary lattice [ of sub- sets of X. A lattice space is a generalization of a topological space. The concept of lattice normality plays an important role in the study of lattice spaces. The present work establishes various relationships between normality of lattices of subsets of X and certain "outer measures" induced by measures associ- ated with the algebras of subsets of X generated by these lattices.

INTRODUCTION. It is our aim in this paper to establish various relationships between normality of lattices on an arbitrary set and certain "outer measures" induced by meas- ures on the algebras generated by these lattices. More specifically, consider any set X and any lattice on’X, [. The algebra on X generated by [ is denoted by A(i). In Section 3, a finitely subadditive "outer measure" is associated with an arbitrary (0-1)-valued measure on A([). The behavior of "outer measures" of this type on i can be used effectively to characterize normal lattices, and this is investigated in Section 3. Also in Section 3, a notion of weak regularity of measures is introduced in terms of the associated finitely subadditive "outer measures" and it is shown that if [ is normal, then this notion coincides with regularity. In Section 4, a countably subadditive "outer measure" is associated with an arbitrary (0-1)-valued measure on A(i)o The relationship between this "outer measure" and the associated (0-1)-valued measure is considered in the presence of smoothness. Also in Section 4, the equality of certain of these measures and "outer measures" on [ or [’ the complementary lattice of i is considered, in particular in the case where [ is normal and countably paracompact or [ is 24 normal and P.D. STP.ATIGOS . 6 are given, including normality, which In addition, conditions on automatically imply regularity of certain smooth measures. Typical applications are given throughout the paper in the case of topological It is also lattices; it is clear that many more such application could be given. clear that certain of our results extend to arbitrary measures, but we will pursue this matter elsewhere. We adhere to standard by now lattice terminology and notation, which can be found, for example, in [1,2,6,7] and, for convenience, we review some of the more important terminology and notation used throughout the paper. 2o TERMINOLOGY AND NOTATION. We shall assume that @, X E (a) Consider any set X and any lattice on X, 6. 6, without loss of generality for our purposes. U, Now, consider any topological space X and denote the class of open sets by the class of closed sets by sets by Z.

Thus (X,6) this reason, we shall refer to C, and the class of zero is a lattice of the prescribed type. and the topological space X is is a generalization of a topological space. X,6 theory, it is convenient to regard as a lattice space.

Further, note [since M _< u on 6, by Corollary 3.9, 6. 6. then 6. on PROOF Hence 9’ T|en I If 6 is normal and countably paracompact and THEOREM 4.9. on IR([)- C Consider any topological space X such that X is perfectly F Then since O(6), Note (7) Consequently J(6) normal. Hence since J(6) C I IW(6) ’ (A). 0, 0. Cons[- by assumption Now, use the assumption that 6 is normal 0, thus reaching a contradiction. Consider any topological space X such that X is normal. Then according to Theorem 4.12, the following statement is true: on o Consider any tollogical space X such that X is T3. Then according to Theorem 412, the following statement is true: " ’ on Z. 32 P.D. STRATIGOS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
