This result gives a supporting evidence to a conjecture of Boyer, Gordon and Watson that relates $L$-spaces and the left-orderability of their fundamental groups.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2013-06-16T21:24:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57M27" ], "keywords": [ "left-orderable fundamental group", "dehn surgeries", "large class", "two-bridge knots", "supporting evidence" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1301.2637T" } } }
