Abstract

We study the space \({{\mathrm{Max~}}}_d(G)\) of maximal d-subgroups of a lattice-ordered group, paying specific attention to archimedean \(\ell \)-groups with weak order unit. For such an object (Gu), \({{\mathrm{Max~}}}_d(G)\) lays at a level in between the space of minimal prime subgroups and the Yosida space of (Gu). Theorem 5.10 gives the appropriate generalization of a quasi F-space to W-objects which avoids a discussion of o-complete \(\ell \)-groups.
