Abstract:
We prove that for no nontrivial ordered abelian group does the ordered power series field admit an exponential, i.e. an isomorphism between its ordered additive group and its ordered multiplicative group of positive elements, but that there is a non-surjective logarithm. For an arbitrary ordered field , no exponential on is compatible, that is, induces an exponential on through the residue map. This is proved by showing that certain functional equations for lexicographic powers of ordered sets are not solvable.
