Abstract

Given an ordered field T\mathbb{T} of formal series over an ordered field R\mathbf{R} equipped with a composition law  ⁣:T×T>RT\circ \colon \mathbb{T} \times \mathbb{T}^{>\mathbb{R}} \longrightarrow \mathbb{T}, we give conditions for (T>R,)(\mathbb{T}^{>\mathbb{R}},\circ) to be a group. We show that classical fields of transseries and hyperseries satisfy these conditions. We then give further conditions on T\mathbb{T} under which (T>R,,<)(\mathbb{T}^{>\mathbb{R}},\circ,<) is a linearly ordered group with exactly three conjugacy classes, and solve the open problem of existence of such a group.
