Abstract
Let M be a metric space. We observe that Lip(M) has a striking lattice structure: its closed unit ball is lattice-complete and completely di stributive. This motivates further study into the lattice structure of Lip(M) and its relation to M. We find that there is a nice duality be tween M and Lip(M) (as a lattice). We also give an abstract classifica tion of all normed vector lattices which are isomorphic to Lip(M) for some M.
