Sets of Disjoint Elements in Free Products of Lattice-ordered Groups
چکیده
We show that for every infinite cardinal number m there exist two totally ordered abelian groups whose free product in any nontrivial variety of lattice-ordered groups has a disjoint set of cardinality m. This answers problem 10.7 of [13] and extends the results in [12]. We further prove that for the variety of abelian lattice-ordered groups or the variety of all lattice-ordered groups, the free product of two nontrivial members of the variety will always contain an infinite disjoint set.
