Abstract

Let MM be a Q\mathbb{Q}-homology solid torus. In this paper, we give a cohomological criterion for the existence of an interval of left-orderable Dehn surgeries on MM. We apply this criterion to prove that the two-bridge knot that corresponds to the continued fraction [1,1,2,2,2j][1,1,2,2,2j] for j1j\geq 1 admits an interval of left-orderable Dehn surgeries. This family of two-bridge knots gives some positive evidence for a question of Xinghua Gao.
