Do the axioms of ordered field imply that $acdot 0=0$ and $0<1$?

We introduce some definitions:





A structure $mathfrak{A}=langle A,<,+,cdot,0,1 rangle$ where $<$ is a linear ordering, $+$ and $cdot$ are binary operations, and $0,1$ are constants such that all properties 1-12 are satisfied is called an ordered field.



For all $a,b,cin A$:




  1. $a+b=b+a$.


  2. $(a+b)+c=a+(b+c)$.


  3. $a+0=a$.


  4. There exists $a'in A$ such that $a+a'=0$. We denote $a'=-a$, the opposite of $a$.


  5. $a<bimplies a+c<b+c$.


  6. $acdot (b+c)=acdot b + acdot c$.


  7. $acdot b = bcdot a$.


  8. $(acdot b)cdot c = acdot (bcdot c)$


  9. $acdot 1=a$


  10. For $aneq 0$, there exists $a'in A$ such that $acdot a'=1$. We denote $a'=a^{-1}$, the reciprocal of $a$.


  11. $a<b$ and $0<c$ $implies acdot c < bcdot c$.


  12. $0neq 1$





In the familiar structure $mathfrak{R}=langle Bbb R,<,+,cdot,0,1 rangle$ where $Bbb R$ is the set of real numbers, it is trivial that $acdot 0=0$ and $0<1$.



I would like to prove that $acdot 0=0$ and $0<1$ hold for any ordered field. I have tried to no avail. Naturally, a question arises in my mind.




Do the axioms of ordered field 1-12 imply that $acdot 0=0$ and $0<1$?




Please shed me some light. Thank you for your help!

    $a cdot 0 = 0$ already follows from the distributivity law. As for $0 < 1$, assume the contrary, so that $1 < 0$; use axiom 5 to derive $0 < -1$; then apply axiom 11 to $a = 1$ and $b = 0$ and $c = -1$ and find the contradiction.

$acdot 0=0$ is a consequence of the basic field axioms; for example
$$ a cdot 0 = acdot(0+0) = acdot 0 + acdot 0 $$
and then cancel one of the $acdot 0$s.



For $0<1$, note that if this was not true we would have $1<0$ (since $<$ is supposed to be a total order) and therefore $0<-1$ by axiom 5. But then by axiom 11 we have $0 = 0cdot(-1) < (-1)cdot(-1) = 1$, so $0<1$ after all, a contradiction.

    Assume $0 > 1$. Then $-1 = 0 + (-1) > 1 + (-1) =0$. Therefore, for any $a < b$, $(-1)a < (-1)b$, hence $0 = 1 cdot a + (-1)a = a + (-1)a < b + (-1)a < b + (-1)b= 1 cdot b + (-1)b = 0$, a contradiction.
