Intrinsic metric preserving maps on partially ordered groups (Q1363444)

An intrinsic metric \(d\) on a partially ordered group \(G\) is a map from \(G\times G\) into the set of all subsets of \(G\) satisfying certain conditions similar to those in a metric space. Jasem shows that if \(G\) is an abelian isolated partially ordered group and \(n\) is a positive integer, then \(n|x-y|\) is an intrinsic metric on \(G\). He also finds a sufficient condition under which a surjective map \(f\) from an abelian directed group \(G_1\) onto a directed group \(G_2\) satisfying \(f(0)=0\) is a homomorphism. Finally he offers a positive answer to Pap's question of whether a certain assertion concerning intrinsic metric preserving maps between abelian lattice ordered groups is true.
