Mar 6, 2012 at 9:20 comment added Miek Messerschmidt Although I'm hardly an expert on the machinery, I think the reference* below answers your question, Matthew. As long as we assume the cone to be normal, we get "enough" positive functionals so that the dual cone/wedge is generating in the dual. From there we are able to make lots of positive of rank 1 operators. (Quickly browsing through the proof I see it does depend on some a separation theorem, so yes, does look like it depends on Hahn Banach.) *Cones & Duality by Aliprantis & Tourky books.google.nl/books?id=EGNzDiCJ3zAC&lpg=PP1&pg=PA78
Mar 6, 2012 at 7:43 comment added Matthew Daws Can you explain why there are any non-zero positive operators? I presume we find a positive functional; and I presume we use Hahn-Banach for this, but I just don't see how right now...
