Lattice-ordered extensions of real closed fields
by

The lattice-ordered fields which are the simplest order-theoretically are those which are finite-dimensional extensions of totally ordered fields in which all nontrivial irreducible convex totally ordered subfields have dimension one. Such fields live in lattice-ordered algebras which are finite-dimensional extensions of real closed fields. We investigate the structure of these lattice-ordered fields in the light of this embedding.
