On the scarcity of lattice-ordered matrix rings

On a Class of Lattice-ordered Rings

for some real number X, the symbol V denoting the lattice least upper bound. Any ring R is regular [10] if for each xER there is an xaER such that xx°x = x. It is evident that every regular F-ring R contains a maximal bounded sub-F-ring R, the F-ring of all xER satisfying equation (1.1). The relationship between a regular F-ring and its maximal bounded sub-F-ring is analogous to that between th...

Lattice-Ordered Rings and Function Rings

Introduction: This paper treats the structure of those lattice-ordered rings which are subdirect sums of totally ordered rings—the f-rings of Birkhoff and Pierce [4]. Broadly, it splits into two parts, concerned respectively with identical equations and with ideal structure; but there is an important overlap at the beginning. D. G. Johnson has shown [9] that not every /-ring is unitable, i.e. e...

On fuzzy convex lattice-ordered subgroups

In this paper, the concept of fuzzy convex subgroup (resp. fuzzy convex lattice-ordered subgroup) of an ordered group (resp. lattice-ordered group) is introduced and some properties, characterizations and related results are given. Also, the fuzzy convex subgroup (resp. fuzzy convex lattice-ordered subgroup) generated by a fuzzy subgroup (resp. fuzzy subsemigroup) is characterized. Furthermore,...

A Proof of Weinberg’s Conjecture on Lattice-ordered Matrix Algebras

Let F be a subfield of the field of real numbers and let Fn (n ≥ 2) be the n× n matrix algebra over F. It is shown that if Fn is a lattice-ordered algebra over F in which the identity matrix 1 is positive, then Fn is isomorphic to the lattice-ordered algebra Fn with the usual lattice order. In particular, Weinberg’s conjecture is true. Let L be a totally ordered field, and let Ln (n ≥ 2) be the...
