Extract

Background (1·1). Ordered Abelian groups have been studied for nearly a century. Since the early 1950's, it has been recognized that orderings in locally compact Abelian groups can play an important rôle in harmonic analysis on such groups. In this paper we study orderings, especially in topological Abelian groups with either topological or measure-theoretic properties, obtaining nearly a complete classification of such orderings. We then apply these results to determine the limitations of the celebrated theorem of F. and M. Riesz on such groups.
