Weakly quasi-o-minimal models

We introduce the notion of a weakly quasi-o-minimal model and prove that such models lack the independence property. We show that every weakly quasi-o-minimal ordered group is Abelian, every divisible Archimedean weakly quasi-o-minimal ordered group is weakly o-minimal, and every weakly o-minimal quasi-o-minimal ordered group is o-minimal. We also prove that every weakly quasi-o-minimal Archimedean ordered ring with nonzero multiplication is a real closed field that is embeddable into the field of reals.
