Universal Aspects of the Theory of Lattice Ordered Groups

  • Chapter
Ordered Algebraic Structures

Part of the book series: Mathematics and Its Applications ((MAIA,volume 55))

Abstract

Universal algebra deals with the investigation of classes of algebras. There are essentially two goals of this study. First of all, properties are sought which appear in many classes of algebras. These common threads between different algebras are then investigated in a general setting. Secondly, these properties are studied within specific classes to determine the qualities that are special to the particular classes. These qualities serve as a means of comparing the algebraic structures of the different classes.
