Abstract. We give a general integral representation theorem for nonadditive functionals defined on an Archimedean Riesz space X with unit. Additivity is replaced by a weak form of modularity, or, equivalently, dual comonotonic additivity, and integrals are Choquet integrals. Those integrals are defined through the Kakutani isometric identification of X with a C (K) space. We further show that our notion of dual comonotonicity naturally generalizes and characterizes the notions of comonotonicity found in the literature when X is assumed to be a space of functions.
1. Introduction Consider the following classical Riesz-type integral representation theorem in the space of real valued, bounded, and F-measurable functions B (Ω, F), where F is a σ-algebra of sets.1 Theorem 1. Let X = B (Ω, F) and let V be a functional from X to R.The following statements are equivalent: (i) V is monotone and additive; (ii) there exists a unique finitely additive measure μ : F→[0, ∞) such that (1) V (x)= x (ω) dμ (ω) ∀x ∈ X. Ω This paper aims at extending the above Riesz representation result along the following lines: (1) the domain X of the functional will be a general Archimedean Riesz space with (order) unit; (2) the functional V : X → R will neither be assumed monotone nor additive. In turn, X is identified with a C (K) space and the integral in (1) is a Cho- quet integral (see Choquet [8]) with μ being a suitable nonadditive set function defined on a lattice of sets. Several partial extensions in this direction have already been established. For instance, when X = B (Ω, F), Schmeidler [23] introduced comonotonic additivity, for a functional, in place of additivity: a property actually
