Abstract
In this chapter we recall the fundamental concepts, tools and results which will be used throughout the book, that is filters/ideals, filter/ideal convergence, lattice groups, Riesz spaces and properties of (l)-group-valued measures, and some related fundamental techniques in this setting, like for instance different kinds of convergence, the Fremlin lemma, the Maeda-Ogasawara-Vulikh representation theorem, the Stone Isomorphism technique and the existence of suitable countably additive restrictions of finitely additive strongly bounded measures. We will prove some main properties of filter/ideal convergence and of lattice group-valued measures.
