Review text

Summary: By examining whether the individualistic assumptions used in social choice could be used in the aggregation of individual preferences, Arrow proved a key lemma that generalizes the famous Szpilrajn's extension theorem [\textit{E. Szpilrajn}, Fundam. Math. 16, 386--389 (1930; JFM 56.0843.02)] and used it to demonstrate the impossibility theorem. In this paper, I provide a characterization of Arrow's result for the case in which the binary relations I extend are not necessarily transitive and are defined on abelian groups. I also give a characterization of the existence of a realizer of a binary relation defined on an abelian group. These results also generalize the well-known extension theorems of Szpilrajn, Dushnik-Miller, and Fuchs.
