ABSTRACT. We show that every variety of representable lattice ordered groups fails the strong amalgamation property. The same result holds for the variety of f-modules over an f-ring. However, strong amalgamations do occur for abelian lattice ordered groups or f-modules when the embeddings are convex.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
