$%L. Drewnowski and W. Wnuk, On the modulus of measures with values in topological Riesz spaces, Rev. Mat. Complut. 15 (2002), no. 2, 357–400.%$

The paper is devoted to a study of some aspects of the theory of (topological) Riesz space valued measures. The main topics considered are the following. First, the problem of existence (and, particularly, the so-called proper existence) of the modulus of an order bounded measure, and its relation to a similar problem for the induced integral operator. Second, the question of how properties of such a measure like countable additivity, exhaustivity or so-called absolute exhaustivity, or the properties of the range space, influence the properties of the modulus of the measure. Third, the problem of exhibiting (or constructing) Banach lattices that are “good” in many respects, and yet admit a countably additive measure whose modulus is not countably additive. A few applications to weakly compact operators from spaces of bounded measurable functions to Banach lattices are also presented.
