AbstractEach Girard quantale (i.e., commutative quantale with a selected dualizing element) provides a support for a semantics for linear propositional formulas (but not for linear derivations). Several constructions of Girard quantales are known. We give two more constructions, one using an arbitrary partially ordered monoid and one using a partially ordered group (both commutative). In both cases the semantics can be controlled be a relation between pairs of elements of the support and formulas. This gives us a neat way of handling duality.

If D is an integral domain with quotient field K, the group of divisibility G(D) of D is the partially ordered group of non-zero principal fractional ideals with aD ≦ bD if and only if aD contains bD. If K* denotes the multiplicative group of K and U(D) the group of units of D, then G(D) is order isomorphic to K*/U(D), where aU(D) ≦ bU(D) if and only if b/a ∊ D.

AbstractRelative uniform limits need not be unique in a non-archimedean partially ordered group, and order convergence need not imply metric convergence in a Banach lattice. We define a new type of convergence on partially ordered groups (R-convergence), which implies both the previous ones, and does not have these defects. Further R-convergence is equivalent to relative uniform convergence on divisible directed integrally closed partially ordered groups, and to order convergence on fully ordered groups.

1. Introduction. The present paper is chiefly concerned with a generalization, to be known as a ‘D-interval’, of the notion of interval or segment in an arbitrary partially ordered group. This idea is originally due to Duthie (2), but was developed by him only in a lattice. In analogy with the use of the interval in the normal sense, notions of ‘D-distributivity’ and ‘D-modularity’ are defined in terms of the D-interval, and analogues of known properties of lattice-groups or ‘l– groups’ can be formulated which might be valid when a lattice structure is no longer assumed to exist; in particular, an attempt is made to provide such a generalization of the result of Freudenthal (3) that every Z-group is a distributive lattice, but, for an arbitrary partially ordered group, it is shown that only an ‘approximation’ (in terms of non-Archimedean elements) to the desired result actually holds, although any Archimedean partially ordered group is necessarily D-distributive.

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.

AbstractThis paper deals with the partially ordered group of the 2×2 symmetric matrices. A matrix is defined to be a positive if each entry of the matrix is positive. With the characterization of the 2×2 symmetric matrix, we construct the positive cone such that the set of the matrices constructs partially ordered group.Keywords: Symmetric Matrix, Group-Ordered, Positive Cone. AbstrakArtikel ini membahas grup terurut parsial pada matriks simetri berukuran 2×2. Suatu matriks dikatakan positif jika setiap entri pada matriks bernilai positif. Melalui karakteristik dari matriks simetri, akan dikonstruksi sebuah positif cone sehingga matriks simetri berukuran 2×2  merupakan grup terurut parsial.Kata kunci: Matriks Simetri, Grup Terurut, Positif Cone.

Associated with any integral domain R there is a partially ordered group A, called the group of divisibility of R. When R is a valuation ring, A is merely the value group; and in this case, ideal-theoretic properties of R are easily derived from corresponding properties of A, and conversely. Even in the general case, though, it has proved useful on occasion to phrase a ring-theoretic problem in terms of the ordered group A, first solve the problem there, and then pull back the solution if possible to R. Lorenzen (15) originally applied this technique to solve a problem of Krull, and Nakayama (16) used it to produce a counterexample to another question of Krull. More recently, Heinzer (7;8) has used the method to construct other interesting examples of rings.
