Using lattice-ordered algebras it is shown that a totally ordered field which has a unique total order and is dense in its real closure has the property that each of its positive semidefinite rational functions is a sum of squares.
En utilisant les algèbres réticulées, on montre qu’un corps totalement ordonné qui a un unique ordre total et qui est dense dans sa clôture réelle a la propriété que chacune des ses fonctions rationnelles positives semi-définies est une somme de carrés.
