Topology on set of "real lower bounds"
Specific question: Is there a name for the "topology of real lower bounds"? This is the order topology for the ordering $\supseteq$ on the set
$$
\mathbb{LB} = \bigl\{ [t, \infty) \mid t \...

Structure of well-ordered commutative monoids
Let $(M,+)$ be a commutative monoid. Let $<$ be a well-ordering on $M$, where
$\forall a\in M,\ 0\leq a$
$\forall a,b,c\in M,\ a<b\Rightarrow a+c<b+c$
The first condition means $M$ will be ...

Reference for tree of bad sequences of WPO
I'm looking for a reference to give in Wikipedia for the following result: Let $X$ be a WPO. Let $T_X$ be the tree of bad sequnces of $X$, and let $o(X)$ be the ordinal height of the root of $T_X$. ...

Find an order-embedding of $S_3\times{\bf2}\times{\bf2}$ into ${\mathbb Z}^4$
A function $f:P\to Q$ from a poset $(P,\le_P)$ to a poset $(Q,\le_Q)$ is an order-embedding if, for all $p,p'\in P$, $p\le_P p'$ if and only if $f(p)\le_Q f(p')$.
We partially order the Cartesian ...

Which monomials are "leadable"?
Question: Let $k$ be a field, let $f \in k[t_1,\ldots,t_N]$ be a nonzero polynomial. Which monomials
$m_a = t_1^{a_1} \cdots t_N^{a_n}$ appearing in $f$ are leadable in the sense that they are the ...

What are all the order types of maximal chains of $\Delta^0_2$ sets?
A set of natural numbers is $\Delta^0_2$ if it’s computable from the halting set. Consider the quasi-order/pre-order of all $\Delta_0^2$ sets ordered by $m$-reduction, or equivalently consider the ...

Ordered vector space that can be embedded into its bidual
We say that an ordered vector space $(V, \ge)$ (over $\mathbb{R}$) is "bidual embeddable" (I made up this name, not sure whether this concept already exists) if for every $x \in V$, if $x$ ...

Order-embeddability of ${\frak b}$ and ${\frak d}$ in $\mathbb{R}$ [duplicate]
The starting point of this question is the observation that in ${\sf (ZFC)}$, all ordinals $\alpha < \omega_1$ can be order-embedded in $\mathbb{R}$.
Let $\omega^\omega$ denote the set of all ...

Countable highly order-transitive subgroups of $\mathrm{Aut}(\mathbb{Q},\leq)$
Consider $A := \mathrm{Aut}(\mathbb{Q},\leq)$, the group of order-automorphisms of $(\mathbb{Q},\leq)$. Call a subgroup $U$ highly order-transitive if for any two finite ordered sequences $s_1$ and $...

Given a totally ordered system of Banach spaces, can we we always change the norms to get isometric embeddings?
Given a real vector space $V$ which is the union of a totally ordered family of vector subspaces $V=\bigcup_{i\in I} V_i$. By that I mean that we assume that $(I,\leq)$ is a totally ordered set and ...

Can one define in ZFC a directed system of embeddings on the class of all linear orders realizing the surreal line as the direct limit?
Consider the surreal line $\langle\newcommand\No{\text{No}}\No,\leq\rangle$, in its order structure only. This is a proper class linear order, which is universal for all set-sized linear orders, as ...

A variant of Buchholz's ordinal notation
Buchholz here introduced an ordinal notation, consisting of a set $\mathcal{T}$, a linear order $\prec$ on $\mathcal{T}$ and some $\mathcal{OT} \subset \mathcal{T}$ such that $(\mathcal{OT}, \prec)$ ...
