On the space of left-orderings of virtually solvable groups

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

We show that the space of left-orderings of a countable virtually solvable group is either finite or homeomorphic to a Cantor set. We also provide an explicit description of the space of left-orderings of SOL = Z2 ⋊ T Z.
