For every finitely generated free group we construct an explicit left order extending the lexicographic order on the free monoid generated by the positive letters. The order is defined by a left, free action on the orbit of 0 of a free…

We give a non-left-orderability criterion for involutory quandles of non-split links. We use this criterion to show that the involutory quandle of any non-trivial alternating link is not left-orderable, thus improving Theorem 8.1. proven by…

We study the following question: under what conditions extension of one residually nilpotent group by another residually nilpotent group is residually nilpotent? We prove some sufficient conditions under which this extension is residually…

A group is said to be stable if it is isomorphic to its automorphism group. We investigate how we can extend centerless groups to construct finite stable groups with nontrivial centers. To this end, we classify all finite stable groups…

We introduce right amenability, right F{\o}lner nets, and right paradoxical decompositions for left homogeneous spaces and prove the Tarski-F{\o}lner theorem for left homogeneous spaces with finite stabilisers. It states that right…

We construct non-isomorphic linear orders X and Y that are both left-hand and right-hand divisors of one another, answering positively a question of Sierpinski.

We show that the fundamental group of the double branched cover of an infinite family of homologically thin, non-quasi-alternating knots is not left-orderable, giving further support for a conjecture of Boyer, Gordon, and Watson that an…

We show that a class of 3-manifolds with non left-orderable fundamental group are Heegaard Floer homology L-spaces

A group $G$ is said to have the Howson property (or to be a Howson group) if the intersection of any two finitely generated subgroups of $G$ is finitely generated subgroup. It is proved that descending HNN-extension is not a Howson group…

We develop a method to show the fundamental group of the double branched covering of a link is not left-orderable by introducing the notion of the coarse presentation. As in the usual group presentations, a coarse presentation is given by a…

In this paper, we describe a natural method to extend left invariant weights on C*-algebraic quantum groups. This method is then used to improve the left invariance property of a left invariant weight. We also prove some kind of uniqueness…

We prove that an irreducible lattice in a real semi-simple Lie group of real rank at least two and finite center is not left-orderable.

We find strictly ascending HNN extensions of finite rank free groups possessing a presentation 2-complex which is a non positively curved square complex. On showing these groups are word hyperbolic, we have by results of Wise and Agol that…

Ordering theorems, characterizing when partial orders of a group extend to total orders, are used to generate hypersequent calculi for varieties of lattice-ordered groups (l-groups). These calculi are then used to provide new proofs of…

Examples suggest that there is a correspondence between L-spaces and 3-manifolds whose fundamental groups cannot be left-ordered. In this paper we establish the equivalence of these conditions for several large classes of such manifolds. In…

We construct first examples of infinite finitely generated residually finite torsion groups with positive rank gradient. In particular, these groups are non-amenable. Some applications to problems about cost and $L^2$-Betti numbers are…

We investigate the orderability properties of fundamental groups of 3-dimensional manifolds. Many 3-manifold groups support left-invariant orderings, including all compact P^2-irreducible manifolds with positive first Betti number. For…

The concept of a k-translatable groupoid is explored in depth. Some properties of idempotent k-translatable groupoids, left cancellative k-translatable groupoids and left unitary k-translatable groupoids are proved. Necessary and sufficient…

In a recent paper Y. Hu has given a sufficient condition for the fundamental group of the r-th cyclic branched covering of S^3 along a prime knot to be left-orderable in terms of representations of the knot group. Applying her criterion to…

A left order on a magma (e.g., semigroup) is a total order of its elements that is left invariant under the magma operation. A natural topology can be introduced on the set of all left orders of an arbitrary magma. We prove that this…
