Completions of Ordered Algebraic Structures
An ordered algebraic structure consists of an algebra in the sense used in universal algebra, meaning a set with a family of operations, together with a partial ordering on the underlying set of the algebra. Examples from logic include Boolean algebras, Heyting algebras, cylindric algebras, and modal algebras; examples from algebra and analysis include ordered fields, lattice ordered groups, and lattice ordered vector spaces; and various types of orthomodular structures such as orthomodular lattices and posets play a role in foundational issues in quantum mechanics.
A common task when working with ordered algebraic structures is to seek to embed such a structure into one of the same type whose underlying partial order is complete. This is the case when embedding the ordered field of rationals into the reals.
Ideally, one wants such a completion preserving certain existing suprema and infima, as well as aspects of the algebraic structure. This is the situation when using completions of structures arising in logic as a means of providing completeness theorems for the logics.
There is a large literature on completions of various specific types of structures, but the results were largely piecemeal. Progress in the past 20 years points to the beginning of a more unified theory of completions. We survey these developments.
