β¦ Synopsis
This book is of interest to students as well as experts in the area of real algebraic geometry, quadratic forms, orderings, valuations, lattice ordered groups and rings, and in model theory. The original motivation comes from orderings on fields and commutative rings. This is explained as is the important application to minimal generation of semi-algebraic sets. Many results in the new theory of abstract real spectra (also called spaces of signs) appear here for the first time. The reader needs elementary knowledge of commutative rings, ordered fields and real closed fields and valuations.

The theory of spaces of orderings developed in [13-18] is useful in studying real varieties at the local and semi-local level; e.g., see [7]. On the other hand, N. Schwartz shows in [27] that in studying global separation of connected components of real varieties, more general sorts of structure ari
We introduce formal power series over Cartesian groups on arbitrary, ordered loops, and show that, under a weak additional hypothesis, their spaces of orderings (in the sense of M. Marshall) are as in the classical case. In particular, we obtain that any classical space of orderings can be realized
