Throughout this paper an l-group will always mean an archimedean lattice-ordered group and we shall confine our attention to such groups. An l-group splits if it is a cardinal summand of each l-group that contains it as an l-ideal. Suppose that G is an l-subgroup of an l-group H. Then G is large in H or H is an essential extension of G if for each l-ideal L≠0 of H, L∩G≠0. G is essentially closed if it does not admit any proper essential extension. Conrad (1971) proved that each essentially closed l-group splits, but not conversely.
