Conrad (10) and Wolfenstein (15; 16) have introduced the notion of an archimedean extension (a-extension) of a lattice-ordered group (l-group). In this note the class of l-groups that possess a plenary subset of regular subgroups which are normal in the convex l-subgroups that cover them are studied. It is shown in § 3 (Corollary 3.4) that the class is closed with respect to a-extensions and (Corollary 3.7) that each member of the class has an a-closure. This extends (6, p. 324, Corollary II; 10, Theorems 3.2 and 4.2; 15, Theorem 1) and gives a partial answer to (10, p. 159, Question 1). The key to proving both of these results is Theorem 3.3, which asserts that if a regular subgroup is normal in the convex l-subgroup that covers it, then this property is preserved by a-extensions.

We show that each archimedean lattice-ordered group is contained in a unique (up to isomorphism) minimal archimedean vector lattice. This improves a result of Paul F. Conrad appearing previously in this Bulletin. Moreover, we show that this relationship between archimedean lattice-ordered groups and archimedean vector lattices is functorial.

AbstractThe notion of a relatively uniform convergence (ru-convergence) has been used first in vector lattices and then in Archimedean lattice ordered groups.Let G be an Archimedean lattice ordered group. In the present paper, a relative uniform completion (ru-completion) $$ G_{\omega _1 } $$ of G is dealt with. It is known that $$ G_{\omega _1 } $$ exists and it is uniquely determined up to isomorphisms over G. The ru-completion of a finite direct product and of a completely subdirect product are established. We examine also whether certain properties of G remain valid in $$ G_{\omega _1 } $$. Finally, we are interested in the existence of a greatest convex l-subgroup of G, which is complete with respect to ru-convergence.

Let (G; P) be a quasi-lattice ordered group. In this paper we present a modied proof of Laca and Raeburn's theorem about the covariant isometric representations of amenable quasi-lattice ordered groups [7, Theorem 3.7], by following a two stage strategy. First, we construct a universal covariant representation for a given quasi-lattice ordered group (G; P) and show that it is unique. The construction of this object is new; we have not followed either Nica's approach in [10] or Laca and Raeburn's approach in [7], although all three objects are essentially the same. Our approach is a very natural one and avoids some of the intricacies of the other approaches. Then we show if (G; P) is amenable, true representations of (G; P) generate C-algebras which are canonically isomorphic to the universal object.

AbstractThe notion of relatively uniform convergence has been applied in the theory of vector lattices and in the theory of archimedean lattice ordered groups. Let G be an abelian lattice ordered group. In the present paper we introduce the notion of weak relatively uniform convergence (wru-convergence, for short) on G generated by a system M of regulators. If G is archimedean and M = G +, then this type of convergence coincides with the relative uniform convergence on G. The relation of wru-convergence to the o-convergence is examined. If G has the diagonal property, then the system of all convex ℓ-subgroups of G closed with respect to wru-limits is a complete Brouwerian lattice. The Cauchy completeness with respect to wru-convergence is dealt with. Further, there is established that the system of all wru-convergences on an abelian divisible lattice ordered group G is a complete Brouwerian lattice.

AbstractLet m be an infinite cardinal. Inspired by a result of Sikorski on m-representability of Boolean algebras, we introduce the notion of r m-distributive lattice ordered group. We prove that the collection of all such lattice ordered groups is a radical class. Using the mentioned notion, we define and investigate a homogeneity condition for lattice ordered groups.

Let G be a lattice-ordered group (l-group) and H a subgroup of G. H is said to be an l-subgroup of G if it is a sublattice of G. H is said to be convex if h1, h2 ∈ H and h2 ≦ g ≦ h2 imply g ∈ H. The normal convex l-subgroups (l-ideals) of an l-group play the same role in the study of lattice-ordered groups as do normal subgroups in the investigation of groups. For this reason, an l-group is said to be l-simple if it has no non-trivial l-ideals. As in group theory, a central task in the examination of lattice-ordered groups is to characterise those l-groups which are l-simple.

Using ultraproducts, N. R. Reilly proved that if G is a representable lattice-ordered group and J is an independent subset totally ordered by ≺, then the order on G can be extended to a total order which induces ≺ on J (see [5]). In [4], H. A. Hollister proved that a group G admits a total order if and only if it admits a representable order and, moreover, every latticeorder on a group is the intersection of right total orders. The purpose of this paper is to provide a partial converse, viz: if G is a lattice-ordered group and J is an independent subset totally ordered by ≺, then the order on G can be extended to a right total order which induces ≺ on J.

A lattice-ordered group is a group and a lattice such that the group operation distributes through the lattice operations (i.e. f(g ∨ h)k = fgk ∨ fhk and dually). Lattice-ordered groups are torsion-free groups and distributive lattices. They further satisfy f ∧ g = (f−1 ∨ g−1)−1 and f ∨ g = (f−1 ∧ g−1)−1. Since the lattice is distributive, each lattice-ordered group word can be written in the form ∨A ∧B ωαβ where A and B are finite and each ωαβ is a group word in {xi: i ∈ I}. Unfortunately, even for free lattice-ordered groups, this form is not unique. We will use the prefix l- for maps between lattice-ordered groups that preserve both the group and lattice operations, and e for the identity element. A presentation (xi;rj(x) = e)i∈I, j∈J is the quotient of the free lattice-ordered group F on {xi: i∈I} by the l-ideal (convex normal sublattice subgroup) generated by its subset {rj(x): j ∈ J}. {xi: i ∈ I} is called a generating set and {ri(x):j∈J} a defining set of relations. If I and J are finite we have a finitely presented lattice-ordered group. If we can effectively enumerate all lattice-ordered group words r1(x), r2(x),… in xi; i∈I}. If I is finite and J (for this enumeration) is a recursively enumerable set, we say that we have a recursively presented lattice-ordered group. Throughout Z denotes the group of integers and ℝ the real line.Our purpose in this paper is to prove the natural analogues of three theorems from combinatorial group theory (5), chapter IV, theorems 4·9, 3·1 and 3·5-in particular, theorem C is a natural analogue of an unpublished theorem of Philip Hall (4).

AbstractWeak relatively uniform convergences (wru-convergences, for short) in lattice ordered groups have been investigated in previous authors’ papers. In the present article, the analogous notion for MV-algebras is studied. The system s(A) of all wru-convergences on an MV-algebra A is considered; this system is partially ordered in a natural way. Assuming that the MV-algebra A is divisible, we prove that s(A) is a Brouwerian lattice and that there exists an isomorphism of s(A) into the system s(G) of all wru-convergences on the lattice ordered group G corresponding to the MV-algebra A. Under the assumption that the MV-algebra A is archimedean and divisible, we investigate atoms and dual atoms in the system s(A).
