Partially ordered semigroups and groups with two mixed partial orderings
摘要
A mixed lattice is a partially ordered set with two mixed partial orderings that are linked by asymmetric upper and lower envelopes. These notions generalize the join and meet operations of a lattice. In the present paper, we study different types of partially ordered semigroups with two mixed orderings, and investigate their relationship to sub-semigroups of mixed lattice groups, which are partially ordered groups with a similar order structure. We also consider Archimedean orderings, and we show that elements of finite order cannot exist in a rather general class of Archimedean mixed lattice groups. Moreover, we give an example of a non-Archimedean mixed lattice group that contains an element of finite order.
