Value quotients and product torsion classes of lattice-ordered groups (Q2655231)

Given a set \(X\) of Archimedean \(o\)-groups, the class of normal-valued \(l\)-groups having the property that every value quotient is in \(X\) forms a complete torsion class. A well-known question by P. Conrad asks whether for \(X=\mathbb{R}\) this class is a product torsion class. The present paper gives a partial answer to this question by investigating values and value quotients of products of normal-valued \(l\)-groups. It is proved that the conjecture that all outer quotients must be Dedekind complete is equivalent to the conjecture that measurable cardinals do not exist.
