Canonical ordering theorems, a first attempt
We characterize totally ordered sets within the class of all ordered sets containing at least three-element chains using a simple relationship between their isotone transformations and the so called 2-, 3-, 4-endomorphisms which are introduced in the paper. Another characterization of totally ordered sets within the class of ordered sets of a locally finite height with at least four-element chains in terms of the regular semigroup theory is also given.
Characterization of congruence lattices of finite chains with either one or two endomorphisms is given.
This paper gives a structure theorem for the class of countable 1-transitive coloured linear orderings for a countably infinite colour set, concluding the work begun in [1]. There we gave a complete classification of these orders for finite colour sets, of which there are ℵ₁. For infinite colour sets, the details are considerably more complicated, but many features from [1] occur here too, in more marked form, principally the use (now essential it seems) of coding trees, as a means of describing...
