A family of totally ordered groups with some special properties

Elena Olivos (2005)

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

Let K be a field with a Krull valuation | | and value group G ≠ { 1 } , and let B K be the valuation ring. Theories about spaces of countable type and Hilbert-like spaces in [1] and spaces of continuous linear operators in [2] require that all absolutely convex subsets of the base field K should be countably generated as B K -modules.By [1] Prop. 1.4.1, the field K is metrizable if and only if the value group G has a cofinal sequence. We prove that for any fixed cardinality ℵ κ , there exists a metrizable field K ...

A topological view of ordered groups

Dale Rolfsen (2014)

Banach Center Publications

In this expository article we use topological ideas, notably compactness, to establish certain basic properties of orderable groups. Many of the properties we shall discuss are well-known, but I believe some of the proofs are new. These will be used, in turn, to prove some orderability results, including the left-orderability of the group of PL homeomorphisms of a surface with boundary, which are fixed on at least one boundary component.
