  PlanetMath: proof of embedding theorem for ordered abelian groups of rank one   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Since the real numbers enjoy the Archimedean property and it is obvious that any subset of a set enjoyying the Archimedean property also enjoys this property, it follows that every subgroup of the additive group of the real numbers enjoys the Archimedean property.
It only remains to show that every group enjoying this property is isomorphic to a subgroup of additive group of the real numbers.
This is version 18 of proof of embedding theorem for ordered abelian groups of rank one, born on 2005-01-03, modified 2005-01-04.

 Archimedean property - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, the Archimedean property of an ordered algebraic structure, such as a linearly ordered group, and in particular of the real numbers, is the property of having no (non-zero) infinitesimals.
Structures that lack infinitesimals are called Archimedean; those that possess infinitesimals are non-Archimedean.
A small number x is classed as infinitesimal if the inequality

 Archimedean Semi-Regular Polyhedra
All but one of these polyhedra were gradually rediscovered during the Renaissance by various artists, and Kepler finally reconstructed the entire set in 1619.
A key characteristic of the Archimedean solids is that each face is a regular polygon, and around every vertex, the same polygons appear in the same sequence, e.g., hexagon-hexagon-triangle in the truncated tetrahedron, shown above.
The Archimedean solid (shown at right) in which three squares and a triangle meet at each vertex is the rhombicuboctahedron.

 Abstract
We speculate that he must have been delighted to find that permutation groups determined by the Platonic solids define all the groups so associated.
Figure 11, we see that Maschke associated the dihedral groups with the rotations of a dihedron (a solid determined by a regular n-gon on the equator of a sphere, with an additional vertex at each pole).
Figure 2, for the dihedral group determined by the triangle in this case, is easily explained in terms of a cyclic element of order n and any reflection.

The classical unanswered question in the theory of totally ordered groups (o-groups) is whether or not every o-group can be embedded in a divisible o-group.
Holland proved in 1961 the existence of an example of an o-group of archimedean rank 3 that is not embeddable in a divisible o-group of achimedean rank 3.

 TOPCOM, Michael R. Darnel: Theory of Lattice-Ordered Groups; a review of the book and perspective of the literature by ...
It was the first of its kind to lace together the Conrad opus on lattice-ordered groups with contributions from others (Simon Bernau, most prominently) who approached the subject matter from the analytic point of view, and brought to the game elements of topology, for purposes of representation.
By the end of the seventies then many of us involved with lattice-ordered groups began to see the need for another monograph, and, indeed, as [BKW77] was so long in gestation, it was also out of date when it appeared, and addressed the subject of ordered permutation groups only glancingly.
The reader who is familiar with varieties of groups might recall that a similar theorem holds for varieties in that context.

For example, a topological group is a topological space with a group structure such that the operations of multiplication and taking inverses are continuous; a topological group has both a topological and an algebraic structure.
This category, being a concrete category, may be regarded as a category of sets with extra structure in the category-theoretic sense.
Similarly, the category of topological groups (with continuous group homomorphisms as morphisms) is a category of topological spaces with extra structure.

 Abstract   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
In this paper we consider group actions on generalised treelike structures (termed ``pretrees'') defined simply in terms of betweenness relations.
Using a result of Levitt, we show that if a countable group admits an archimedean action on a median pretree, then it admits an action by isometries on an $ {\Bbb R} $-tree.
Thus the theory of isometric actions on $ {\Bbb R} $-trees may be extended to a more general setting where it merges naturally with the theory of right-orderable groups.

They are models for some rather natural constructions in archimedean l-groups.
And they have a nice associated "dual"; namely the notion of a covering function: an assignment which assigns a compact space X to a subalgebra K(X) of the algebra of regular closed sets.
