| Title: |
Distinct orders that divide one another on both sides
|
| Abstract: |
We construct two linear orders X and Y that are both left and right factors of one another, but are not isomorphic. The construction of X and Y uses a general theorem characterizing orders whose isomorphism type is invariant when multiplied on the left or right by a given order. Establishing their non-isomorphism relies on a fixed point theorem for the order (ω1* + ω1)ω. |
