Real closed rings and real closed rings

Real Closed Rings and Real Closed * Rings

Here we try to distinguish and compare different notions of real closedness mainly one developed by N. Schwartz in his Habilitationschrift and the other developed by A. Sankaran and K. Varadarajan in [SV] which we shall call real closed *. We stick to the definition of real closed rings as defined and characterized in [RCR] and we try to determine and characterize real closed rings that are rea...

Real closed valuation rings

The real closed valuation rings, i.e., convex subrings of real closed fields, form a proper subclass of the class of real closed domains. It is shown how one can recognize whether a real closed domain is a valuation ring. This leads to a characterization of the totally ordered domains whose real closure is a valuation ring. Real closures of totally ordered factor rings of coordinate rings of re...

Bounded super real closed rings

Real closed ∗ reduced partially ordered Rings

In this work we attempt to generalize our result in [6] [7] for real rings (not just von Neumann regular real rings). In other words we attempt to characterize and construct real closure ∗ of commutative unitary rings that are real. We also make some very interesting and significant discoveries regarding maximal partial orderings of rings, Baer rings and essentail extension of rings. The first ...
