Ordered groups with greatest common divisors theory

An embedding (called a GCD theory) of partly ordered abelian group G into abelian l-group Γ is investigated such that any element of Γ is an infimum of a subset (possible non-finite) from G. It is proved that a GCD theory need not be unique. A complete GCD theory is introduced and it is proved that...

Description
Summary:An embedding (called a GCD theory) of partly ordered abelian group G into abelian l-group Γ is investigated such that any element of Γ is an infimum of a subset (possible non-finite) from G. It is proved that a GCD theory need not be unique. A complete GCD theory is introduced and it is proved that G admits a complete GCD theory if and only if it admits a GCD theory G→Γ such that Γ is an Archimedean l-group. Finally, it is proved that a complete GCD theory is unique (up to o-isomorphisms) and that a po-group admits the complete GCD theory if and only if any v-ideal is v-invertible.
