Extract

Conrad ((2)), has shown that any lattice group which obeys (C.F.) each strictly positive element exceeds at most a finite number of pairwise orthogonal elements may be constructed, from a family of simply ordered groups, by carrying out, alternately, the operations of forming finite direct sums and lexico extensions, at most a countable number of times. The main result of this paper, Theorem 3.1, gives necessary and sufficient conditions for a multilattice group, which obeys (ℋ*), to be isomorphic to a multilattice group which is constructed from a family of almost ordered groups, by carrying out, alternately, the operations of forming arbitrary direct sums and lexico extensions, any number of times; we call such a group a lexico sum of the almost ordered groups.
