\textbf{\Large Lattice-ordered groups}
\quad\href{http://math.chapman.edu/cgi-bin/structures?action=edit;id=Lattice-ordered_groups}{edit}
\begin{definition}
A \emph{lattice-ordered group} (or $\ell $\emph{-group}) is a structure $\mathbf{L}=\langle L, \vee, \wedge, \cdot, ^{-1}, e\rangle$ such that
$\langle L, \vee, \wedge\rangle$ is a \href{Lattices.pdf}{lattice}
$\langle L, \cdot, ^{-1}, e\rangle$ is a \href{Groups.pdf}{group}
$\cdot$ is order-preserving: $x\leq y\implies uxv\leq uyv$
Remark:
$xy=x\cdot y$, $x\leq y\Longleftrightarrow x\wedge y=x$ and $x\leq y\Longleftrightarrow x\vee y=y$
\end{definition}
\begin{definition}
A \emph{lattice-ordered group} (or $\ell $\emph{-group}) is a structure $\mathbf{L}=\left\langle L,\vee ,\cdot ,^{-1},e\right\rangle $ such that
$\langle L,\vee\rangle $ is a \href{Semilattices.pdf}{semilattice}
$\langle L,\cdot,^{-1},e\rangle $ is a \href{Groups.pdf}{group}
$\cdot$ is join-preserving: $u(x\vee y)v=uxv\vee uyv$
Remark: $x\wedge y=\left( x^{-1}\vee y^{-1}\right) ^{-1}$
\end{definition}
\begin{definition}
A \emph{lattice-ordered group} (or $\ell $\emph{-group}) is a residuated
lattice $\mathbf{L}=\langle L,\vee ,\wedge ,\cdot ,\backslash
,/,e\rangle $ that satisfies the identity $x(e/x)=e$.
Remark: $x^{-1}=e/x=x\backslash e$, $x/y=xy^{-1}$ and $x\backslash y=x^{-1}y$
\end{definition}
\begin{morphisms}
Let $\mathbf{L}$ and $\mathbf{M}$ be $\ell $-groups. A morphism from $\mathbf{L}$ to $\mathbf{M}$ is a function $f:L\rightarrow M$ that is a
homomorphism: $f(x\vee y)=f(x)\vee f(y)$, $f(x\wedge y)=f(x)\wedge f(y)$, $f(x\cdot y)=f(x)\cdot f(y)$, $f(x^{-1})=f(x)^{-1}$, and $f(e)=e$.
\end{morphisms}
\begin{basic_results}
The lattice reducts of lattice-ordered groups are \href{Distributive_lattices.pdf}{distributive lattices}.
\end{basic_results}
\begin{examples}
$\langle Aut(\mathbf{C}),\mbox{max},\mbox{min},\circ,^{-1},id_{\mathbf{C}}\rangle$,
the group of order-automorphisms of a \href{Chains.pdf}{Chains} $\mathbf{C}$, with $\mbox{max}$ and $\mbox{min}$
(applied pointwise), composition, inverse, and identity automorphism.
\end{examples}
