Let G be a lattice-ordered group (l-group) and H a subgroup of G. H is said to be an l-subgroup of G if it is a sublattice of G. H is said to be convex if h1, h2H and h2gh2 imply gH. The normal convex l-subgroups (l-ideals) of an l-group play the same role in the study of lattice-ordered groups as do normal subgroups in the investigation of groups. For this reason, an l-group is said to be l-simple if it has no non-trivial l-ideals. As in group theory, a central task in the examination of lattice-ordered groups is to characterise those l-groups which are l-simple.
