On f -rings that are not formally real

James J. Madden — 2010

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Henriksen and Isbell showed in 1962 that some commutative rings admit total orderings that violate equational laws (in the language of lattice-ordered rings) that are satisfied by all totally-ordered fields. In this paper, we review the work of Henriksen and Isbell on this topic, construct and classify some examples that illustrate this phenomenon using the valuation theory of Hion (in the process, answering a question posed in [E]) and, finally, prove that a base for the equational theory of totally-ordered...

Separating ideals in dimension 2.

James J. Madden;  Niels Schwartz — 1997

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

Experience shows that in geometric situations the separating ideal associated with two orderings of a ring measures the degree of tangency of the corresponding ultrafilters of semialgebraic sets. A related notion of separating ideals is introduced for pairs of valuations of a ring. The comparison of both types of separating ideals helps to understand how a point on a surface is approached by different half-branches of curves.
