Lattice orderings on
the real field

Vol. 63 (1976), No. 2, 571–577

Abstract |
|
Since every total order is a lattice order, and the real field R is a totally ordered field, it is a lattice-ordered field. In 1956 Birkhoff and Pierce raised the question of whether R can be made into a lattice-ordered field in any other way. In this paper we answer their question affirmatively by showing that there are, in fact, 2c such orderings, where c is the cardinal of R. |
