Left-orderability and exceptional Dehn surgery on two-bridge knots

Geometric Topology 2011-10-05 v1 Group Theory

Abstract

We show that any exceptional non-trivial Dehn surgery on a hyperbolic two-bridge knot yields a 3-manifold whose fundamental group is left-orderable. This gives a new supporting evidence for a conjecture of Boyer, Gordon and Watson.
