Abstract

A regular left-order on finitely generated group G is a total, left-multiplication invariant order on G 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) admits a regular left-order if and only if n≥ -1. Finally, Hermiller and Sunic showed that no free product admits a regular left-order, however we show that if A and B are groups with regular left-orders, then (A*B)× ℤ admits a regular left-order.
