On some interpolation rules for lattice ordered groups

Ján Jakubík (2004)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Let α be an infinite cardinal. In this paper we define an interpolation rule I R ( α ) for lattice ordered groups. We denote by C ( α ) the class of all lattice ordered groups satisfying I R ( α ) , and prove that C ( α ) is a radical class.

On the dynamics of (left) orderable groups

Andrés Navas (2010)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We develop dynamical methods for studying left-orderable groups as well as the spaces of orderings associated to them. We give new and elementary proofs of theorems by Linnell (if a left-orderable group has infinitely many orderings, then it has uncountably many) and McCleary (the space of orderings of the free group is a Cantor set). We show that this last result also holds for countable torsion-free nilpotent groups which are not rank-one Abelian. Finally, we apply our methods to the case of braid...

Orderable 3-manifold groups

Steven Boyer, Dale Rolfsen, Bert Wiest (2005)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We investigate the orderability properties of fundamental groups of 3-dimensional manifolds. Many 3-manifold groups support left-invariant orderings, including all compact P 2 -irreducible manifolds with positive first Betti number. For seven of the eight geometries (excluding hyperbolic) we are able to characterize which manifolds’ groups support a left-invariant or bi-invariant ordering. We also show that manifolds modelled on these geometries have virtually bi-orderable groups. The question of virtual orderability...
