Abstract
Say that a cone is a commutative monoid that is in addition connical, i. e., satisfies z+y=0
x=y=0. We show that cones (resp. simple cones) of many kinds order-embed or even embed unitarily into refinement cones (resp. simple refinement cones) of the same kind, satisfying in addition various divisibility conditions. We do this in particular for all cones, or for all seperative cones, or for all cancellative cones (positive cones of partially ordered abelian groups). We also settle both the torsion-free case and the unperforated case. Most of our results extend to arbitrary commutative monoids.
