Abstract

We introduce a new method of detecting when the fundamental group of a Dehn surgery on a knot admits a left-ordering, a method which is particularly useful for 2-bridge knots. As an illustration of this method, we show that all Dehn surgeries on the knot 626_2 with slope in the interval (4,8)Q(-4, 8)\cap\mathbb{Q} have left-orderable fundamental groups by exhibiting a family of hyperbolic PSL~(2,R)\widetilde{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R})-representations of the knot complement group.
