In this paper, we introduce the concept of a valuation mapping of an l-group G onto a distributive lattice and use such valuations to investigate the structure of G. Then we examine the maximal immediate extensions of G with respect to these Ε½ valuations. For the natural valuation, these are the arc

β¦ Synopsis
A lattice-ordered abelian group is called ultrasimplicial iff every finite set of positive elements belongs to the monoid generated by some finite set of positive Z-independent elements. This property originates from Elliott's classification of AF C U -algebras. Using fans and their desingularizations, it is proved that the ultrasimplicial property holds for every n-generated archimedean l-group whose maximal l-ideals of rank n are dense. As a corollary we obtain simpler proofs of results, respectively by Elliott and by the present author, stating that totally ordered abelian groups, as well as free l-groups, are ultrasimplicial.

For any partially ordered abelian group G, we relate the structure of the ordered Ž . Ž monoid ⳠG of inter¨als of G i.e., nonempty, upward directed lower subsets of . G , to various properties of G, as for example interpolation properties, or topological properties of the state space when G has an
We consider the framework of pairwise comparison matrices over abelian linearly ordered groups. We introduce the notion of -proportionality that allows us to provide new characterizations of the consistency, efΓcient algorithms for checking the consistency and for building a consistent matrix.

It is well known that the free group on a non-empty set can be totally ordered and, further, that each compatible latttice ordering on a free group is a total ordering. On the other hand, SaitΓ΄ has shown that no non-trivial free inverse semigroup can be totally ordered. In this note we show, however
Alspach has conjectured that any 2k-regular connected Cayley graph cay(A, S) on a finite abelian group A can be decomposed into k hamiltonian cycles. In this paper, the conjecture is shown to be true if S=[s 1 , s 2 , ..., s k ] is a minimal generating set of an abelian group A of odd order (where a
