Positive cone of an ordered group ($G_{\ge 1}=\{g:1\le g\}$)

The nonnegative cone determines the partial order by $a\le b⟺a^{-1}b\in G_{\ge 1}$. It contains the identity element, is closed under products and conjugation, and intersects its inverse only in the identity. Conversely these conditions define a two-sided invariant partial order. Its strictly positive part omits the identity; conventions for $G^{+}$ differ, so specify which is intended.
