A Lattice-Ordered Skew Field Is Totally Ordered If Squares Are Positive
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that a lattice-ordered field (not necessarily commutative) is totally ordered if and only if each square is positive, answering a generalized question of Conrad and Dauns [6] in the affirmative. As a consequence, any lattice-ordered skew-field in [5] is totally ordered. Furthermore , we note that each lattice order determined by a pre-positive cone P on a skew-filed F is linearly ordered since F 2 ⊆ P (see [10]).

A partially ordered group G = (G, +, ≤) is both a (not necessarily Abelian) group (G, +) (with binary operation + and identity element 0, where the inverse of a member a of G is denoted by −a) and a partially ordered set (G, ≤) in which a ≥ b implies that a+ c ≥ b+ c and c+ a ≥ c+ b for a, b, and c in G. An element a of G is positive if a ≥ 0. A partially ordered group (G, +, ≤) is called a lat...

For an f-ring with bounded inversion property, we show that , the set of all basic z-ideals of , partially ordered by inclusion is a bounded distributive lattice. Also, whenever is a semiprimitive ring, , the set of all basic -ideals of , partially ordered by inclusion is a bounded distributive lattice. Next, for an f-ring with bounded inversion property, we prove that is a complemented...
متن کاملOn fuzzy convex lattice-ordered subgroups
In this paper, the concept of fuzzy convex subgroup (resp. fuzzy convex lattice-ordered subgroup) of an ordered group (resp. lattice-ordered group) is introduced and some properties, characterizations and related results are given. Also, the fuzzy convex subgroup (resp. fuzzy convex lattice-ordered subgroup) generated by a fuzzy subgroup (resp. fuzzy subsemigroup) is characterized. Furthermore,...
متن کاملA classification of hull operators in archimedean lattice-ordered groups with unit
The category, or class of algebras, in the title is denoted by $bf W$. A hull operator (ho) in $bf W$ is a reflection in the category consisting of $bf W$ objects with only essential embeddings as morphisms. The proper class of all of these is $bf hoW$. The bounded monocoreflection in $bf W$ is denoted $B$. We classify the ho's by their interaction with $B$ as follows. A ``word'' is a function ...
متن کاملDivision closed partially ordered rings
Fuchs [6] called a partially-ordered integral domain, say D, division closed if it has the property that whenever a > 0 and ab > 0, then b > 0. He showed that if D is a lattice-ordered division closed field, then D is totally ordered. In fact, it is known that for a lattice-ordered division ring, the following three conditions are equivalent: a) squares are positive, b) the order is total, and ...
