Abstract

This survey of lattice-ordered permutation groups focuses especially on their structure theory and on their relation to unordered infinite permutation groups. However, the survey is essentially self-contained. The reader will need only a little familiarity with unordered permutation groups, and none at all with lattice-ordered groups.
