Abstract: A lattice-ordered group (an ell-group) G(oplus,vee,wedge) can be naturally viewed as a semiring G(vee,oplus). We give a full classification of (abelian) ell-groups which are finitely generated as semirings, by first showing that each such ell-group has an order-unit so that we can use the results of Busaniche, Cabrer and Mundici [8]. Then we carefully analyze their construction in our setting to obtain the classification in terms of certain ell-groups associated to rooted trees (Theorem 4.1). This classification result has a number of important applications: for example it implies a classification of finitely generated ideal-simple (commutative) semirings S(+,cdot) with idempotent addition and provides important information concerning the structure of general finitely generated ideal-simple (commutative) semirings, useful in obtaining further progress towards Conjecture 1.1 discussed in [2], [15].
