RT journal article T1 Metric completions of ordered groups and K0+of exchange rings A1 Pardo Espino, Enrique A2 Matemáticas AB We give a description of the closure of the natural a ne contin-uous function representation of K0(R) for any exchange ring R. This goal isachieved by extending the results of Goodearl and Handelman, about metriccompletions of dimension groups, to a more general class of pre-ordered groups,which includes K0 of exchange rings. As a consequence, the results about K+0of regular rings, which the author gave in an earlier paper, can be extendedto a wider class of rings, which includes C -algebras of real rank zero, amongothers. Also, the framework of pre-ordered groups developed here allows otherpotential applications.
