Regular left-orders on groups

Abstract

A regular left-order on finitely generated group GG is a total, left-multiplication invariant order on GG whose corresponding positive cone is the image of a regular language over the generating set of the group under the evaluation map. We show that admitting regular left-orders is stable under extensions and wreath products and give a classification of the groups all whose left-orders are regular left-orders. In addition, we prove that solvable Baumslag-Solitar groups B(1,n)B(1,n) admits a regular left-order if and only if n1n\geq -1. Finally, Hermiller and Sunic showed that no free product admits a regular left-order, however we show that if AA and BB are groups with regular left-orders, then (AB)×Z(A*B)\times \mathbb{Z} admits a regular left-order.
