Topological Ordered Rings and Measures

Ordered Rings and Fields

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...

Topological Mirrors and Quantum Rings

Aspects of duality and mirror symmetry in string theory are discussed. We emphasize, through examples, the importance of loop spaces for a deeper understanding of the geometrical origin of dualities in string theory. Moreover we show that mirror symmetry can be reformulated in very simple terms as the statement of equivalence of two classes of topological theories: Topological sigma models and ...

Ordered Topological Structures

The paper discusses interactions between order and topology on a given set which do not presuppose any separation conditions for either of the two structures, but which lead to the existing notions established by Nachbin in more special situations. We pursue this discussion at the much more general level of lax algebras, so that our categories do not concern just ordered topological spaces, but...

Linearly Ordered Topological Spaces

This work is devoted to the study of certain cardinality modifications of paracompactness and compactness in the setting of linearly ordered spaces. Some of the concepts treated here have previously been studied by Aquaro [l]1, Gulden [4], Kennison [5], Mansfield [6], Morita [7], and Poppe [9]. On the other hand, the concept of m-boundedness, introduced in §2, is new. Our main results (Theorems...
