A tight Riesz group G is a partially ordered group G that satisfies a strengthened form of the Riesz interpolation property. The term “tight” was introduced by Miller in (1970) and the tight interpolation property has been considered by Fuchs (1965), Miller (1973), (to appear), (preprint), Loy and Miller (1972) and Wirth (1973). If G is free of elements called pseudozeros then G is a non-discrete Hausdorff topological group with respect to the open interval topology U. Moreover the closure P of the cone P of the given order is the cone of an associated order on G. This allows an interesting interplay between the associated order, the tight Riesz order and the topology U. Loy and Miller found of particular interest the case in which the associated partial order is a lattice order. This situation was considered in reverse by Reilly (1973) and Wirth (1973), who investigated the circumstances under which a lattice ordered group, and indeed a partially ordered group, permits the existence of a tight Riesz order for which the initial order is the associated order. These tight Riesz orders were then called compatible tight Riesz orders. In Section one we relate these ideas to the topologies denned on partially ordered groups by means of topological identities, as described by Banaschewski (1957), and show that the topologies obtained from topological identities are precisely the open interval topologies from compatible tight Riesz orders.
