Extract

An ordered group (o-group for short) is a group endowed with a linear (i.e. total) order such that for all x, y, z, xz ≤ yz and zx ≤ zy whenever x ≤ y. A group for which such an order exists is called an orderable group. A group G is said to be divisible if for each positive integer m and each g ε G, there is x ε G such that xm = g.
