A standard characterization of $\mathbf{R}$ uses the order and the field structure: any linearly ordered field that is archimedean and complete is isomorphic to $(\mathbf{R}, +, \times, <)$ as an ...

Let $(M,+)$ be a commutative monoid. Let $<$ be a well-ordering on $M$, where $\forall a\in M,\ 0\leq a$ $\forall a,b,c\in M,\ a<b\Rightarrow a+c<b+c$ The first condition means $M$ will be ...

In this question, it is shown that all Archimedean ordered groups are isomorphic to an ordered subgroup of $\mathbb R$. Additionally, it is shown that if such a group is complete, then it is ...

A totally ordered group is a group equipped with a compatible total order, that is, $x\leq y$ and $z\leq t$ imply $x+z\leq y+t$ for all $x,y,z,t$ in the group. Is it true that every totally ordered ...

If $G$ is a group with a (left) linear order, does every (left) partial order on $G$ extend to a (left) linear order? The answer is affirmative on abelian groups, where being torsion-free is ...
