Knot groups, quandle extensions and orderability
Abstract
This paper gives a new way of characterizing L-space -manifolds by using orderability of quandles. Hence, this answers a question of Adam Clay et al. [Question 1.1 of Canad. Math. Bull. 59 (2016), no. 3, 472-482]. We also investigate both the orderability and circular orderability of dynamical extensions of orderable quandles. We give conditions under which the conjugation quandle on a group, as an extension of the conjugation of a bi-orderable group by the conjugation of a right orderable group, is right orderable. We also study the right circular orderability of link quandles. We prove that the -quandle of the link quandle of is not right circularly orderable and hence it is not right orderable. But on the other hand, we show that there are infinitely many links for which the -enveloping group of the link quandle is right circularly orderable for any prime integer .
