Hahn ternary fields with special factor systems

Starting from a ternary field and a totally ordered loop, the author constructed in [Geom. Dedicata 80, No. 1-3, 157-171 (2000)] a ternary field \(H\) on the set of formal power series; \(H\) is called a Hahn ternary field. In the paper under review, the author characterizes (in terms of the relevant factor system) various algebraic properties of \(H\), like associativity or commutativity of addition and multiplication, linearity or distributivity. He shows by constructing explicit examples that the various types of ternary fields \(H\) are non-empty and distinct. If \(H\) is a skew field or a field, then one arrives at constructions of \textit{B. H. Neumann} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 66, 202-252 (1949; Zbl 0035.30401)] or \textit{I. Kaplansky} [Duke Math. J. 9, 303-321 (1942; Zbl 0063.03135)].
