Abstract:

It is shown that a lattice-ordered algebra is embeddable in a product of totally ordered algebras provided (i) it is archimedean, contains a left superunit which is an $f$-element, and satisfies a polynomial identity $p(x) \geqslant 0$ or $f(x,y) \geqslant 0$ (for suitable $f(x,y)$); or (ii) it is unital, and semiperfect, $\pi$-regular, or left $\pi$-regular, and some power of each element is positive.
