Course description and aims

An orderable group is a group with total ordering which is invariant under the group action itself. Although this definition is purely algebraic, it is related to one-dimensional dynamics and low-dimensional topology, and recently orderable groups are actively studied in various point of view.

In this lecture we will explain various aspects of orderable groups including dynamics, topology, and combinatorics, and give a lecture on fundamental aspects and recent developments. Here I will emphasize a connection to low-dimensional topology.

Student learning outcomes

・ understand basics of ordearble groups
・ learn various topics on orderable groups and topology so that one can do further research.

Keywords

orderable groups, low-dimensional topology, one-dimensional dynamics

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

This is a standard lecture course. There will be some assignments.
