Abstract

In this work we consider the Galois point of view in determining the structure of
a space of orderings of fields via considering small Galois quotients of absolute Galois
groups G F of Pythagorean formally real fields. Galois theoretic, group theoretic and
combinatorial arguments are used to reduce the structure of W-groups.
