Abstract:
Let be a subfield of the field of real numbers and let () be the matrix algebra over . It is shown that if is a lattice-ordered algebra over in which the identity matrix 1 is positive, then is isomorphic to the lattice-ordered algebra with the usual lattice order. In particular, Weinberg's conjecture is true.
