$K neq sum K^2 implies K$ admits an ordering

$K$ is a field. $K^2 = {a^2 | a in K }$, $sum K^2$ is set of all sum of squares.
I have to prove an implication:




$K neq sum K^2 implies K$ admits an ordering




$K neq sum K^2$, so $-1 notin sum K^2$, so $K$ is formally real. It implies that $sum K^2$ is pre-positive cone. I am not sure what to do now. I know that relation $a<b iff b-ain P$, where $P$ is a positive cone, satisfies conditions for being an order relation. I know also taht every positive cone of field is a pre-positive cone.

  • If an element is in $sum K^2$ it means that it can be written as a sum of squares.

There is no sum of all squares.

Let C be the set of all finite sums of squares.

Show C is an order cone.

Let K be a maximal order cone with C subset K.

Show that K is a linear cone.



If you want to work with positive cones,then remove

0 from the numbers that are being squared.
