On totally ordered groups, and K0

Part of the Lecture Notes in Mathematics book series (LNM,volume 734)

Abstract

Some results are described concerning totally ordered abelian groups. These can be interpreted, via the functor K0, as classification results for certain noncommutative rings, for which K0 as an ordered group happens to be a complete invariant.

Formerly titled, "On totally ordered groups".
