On the dynamics of (left) orderable groups

Andrés Navas (2010)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We develop dynamical methods for studying left-orderable groups as well as the spaces of orderings associated to them. We give new and elementary proofs of theorems by Linnell (if a left-orderable group has infinitely many orderings, then it has uncountably many) and McCleary (the space of orderings of the free group is a Cantor set). We show that this last result also holds for countable torsion-free nilpotent groups which are not rank-one Abelian. Finally, we apply our methods to the case of braid...

On the Schröder-Bernstein problem for Carathéodory vector lattices

Ján Jakubík (2009)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

In this note we prove that there exists a Carathéodory vector lattice V such that V V 3 and V V 2 . This yields that V is a solution of the Schröder-Bernstein problem for Carathéodory vector lattices. We also show that no Carathéodory Banach lattice is a solution of the Schröder-Bernstein problem.

On varieties of pseudo M V -algebras

Ján Jakubík (2003)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

In this paper we investigate the relation between the lattice of varieties of pseudo M V -algebras and the lattice of varieties of lattice ordered groups.
