Resumen:
Building on the Goodearl-Handelman-Lawrence functional  representation theorem, we provide a purely topological representation (specifically, a categorical duality) for a large class of  Dedekind sigma-complete l-groups G with order-unit u, including all G where u has a finite indexof nilpotence.Our duality is a far-reaching generalization of the well known Stone duality between sigma complete boolean algebras and basically disconnected compact Hausdorff spaces.
