Solvable groups in which every maximal partial order is isolated

Roberta Mura and Akbar H. Rhemtulla

Vol. 51 (1974), No. 2, 509–514
Abstract

It is shown that every maximal partial order in a torsionfree abelian-by-nilpotent group is isolated. The same is true for an ordered polycyclic group. Examples are given to show that maximal partial orders need not be isolated in torsion-free polycyclic groups, nor in ordered centre-by-metabelian groups.
