On values of elements in partially ordered groups. (Q2515189)

Let \(G\) be a (multiplicative) partially ordered group and \(e\) be the identity of \(G\). If \(e\neq g\in G\), then a value of \(g\) is any convex directed subgroup \(M\) of \(G\) that is maximal with respect to not containing \(g\). Elements \(a\) and \(b\) in \(G\) are almost orthogonal if \(c\leq a,b\) imply \(c^n\leq a,b\), for any integer \(n>0\). The author investigates values of elements in partially ordered groups in which every \(g\in G\) has a representation \(g=ab^{-1}\), where \(a,b\) are almost orthogonal elements in \(G\).
