Directed partial orders on the complex number field
Abstract
We construct a class of positive cones that make $\C$ into a directed partially ordered ring. The positive cones are defined using integral closures of local rings, associated with a transcendence basis and a chosen real generator. A localization criterion also yields such orders on every transcendental extension of $\Q$. For a fixed coefficient field, we prove that two real generators define the same cone if and only if they differ by an affine map with positive real-algebraic slope and translation algebraic over that field. The nonzero positive elements are closed under inversion. None of these orders is a lattice order.
