A lattice ring is a lattice group ((l), page 214) and a ring in which ab ≥ 0 whenever a ∧ b ≥ 0.

In any lattice group (commutative or not) we define a+ = a ∨ 0, a = (−a) ∨ 0 and |a| = a+ + a. Itisknown((1). pages 219,220) that a+a = 0, a = a+a, |a| = a+a, and that a ∧ (bc) = (ab) ∨ (ac), and a ∨ (bc) = (ab) ∧ (ac). For a non-empty subset M of a lattice group we define
