Show that the set $((-1,1),\le)$ is not isomorphic.with the set $((-1,0)\cup(0,1),\le)$ where $\le$ is the usual order on $\Bbb R$, $(-1,1),(-1,0),(0,1)$ are half-intervals.
My idea is that we loose all the couples $(a,0)$ and $(0,a), \forall a \in (-1,0)\cup (0,1)$ from the first set, is this proof enough? or there is stronger more formel one?
Thank you.
The first set has the least upper bound property.
The second set does not.
