On the quotient class of non-Archimedean fields (Q2012568)

The authors study algebraic properties of the set of cosets with respect to all possible convex additive subgroups of a non-archimedean ordered field \(F\). This set of cosets is called the quotient class of \(F\). The algebraic operations on the quotient class are the Minkowski sum and product. The common structure of addition and multiplication is stronger than a regular semigroup and was called an assembly; see \textit{B. Dinis} and \textit{I. van den Berg} [J. Log. Anal. 3, Article 9, 30 p. (2011; Zbl 1285.03079)]. The two algebraic operations are related by an adapted distributivity law. The authors define new algebraic structures, an association and a solid, whose axioms are satisfied by the quotient class.
