Lattice-ordered Rings and Modules by Stuart A. Steinberg, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

This book provides an exposition of the algebraic aspects of the theory of lattice-ordered rings and lattice-ordered modules. All of the background material on rings, modules, and lattice-ordered groups necessary to make the work self-contained and accessible to a variety of readers is included. Steinberg includes in his presentation of the material 800+ extensive exercises of varying levels of difficulty at the end of each of the sections. The first two chapters of the book provide a thorough introduction to the material, while the following four chapters delve into more specific topics. Key topics include:*lattice-ordered groups, rings, and fields;*archimedean $l$-groups;*f-rings and larger varieties of $l$-rings;*the category of f-modules;*various commutativity results. Filling a gap in the literature, Lattice-Ordered Rings and Modules may be used as a textbook or for self-study by graduate students and researchers studying lattice-ordered rings and lattice-ordered modules. | Lattice-ordered Rings and Modules by Stuart A.
