Lattice-ordered Rings and Modules. Questo articolo non è disponibile.Lattice-ordered Rings and Modules

This book provides an exposition of the algebraic aspects of the theory of lattice-ordered rings and lattice-ordered modules. All of the background material on rings, modules, and lattice-ordered groups necessary to make the work self-contained and accessible to a variety of readers is included. Filling a gap in the literature, Lattice-Ordered Rings and Modules may be used as a textbook or for self-study by graduate students and researchers studying lattice-ordered rings and lattice-ordered modules.

Steinberg presents the material through 800+ extensive examples of varying levels of difficulty along with numerous exercises at the end of each section. Key topics include: lattice-ordered groups, rings, and fields; archimedean $l$-groups; f-rings and larger varieties of $l$-rings; the category of f-modules; various commutativity results.

This book provides an exposition of the algebraic aspects of the theory of lattice-ordered rings and lattice-ordered modules. All of the background material on rings, modules, and lattice-ordered groups necessary to make the work self-contained and accessible to a variety of readers is included.

Steinberg includes in his presentation of the material 800+ extensive exercises of varying levels of difficulty at the end of each of the sections.  The first two chapters of the book provide a thorough introduction to the material, while the following four chapters delve into more specific topics.

Key topics include:

*lattice-ordered groups, rings, and fields;

*archimedean $l$-groups;

*f-rings and larger varieties of $l$-rings;

*the category of f-modules;

*various commutativity results.
