Exotic left orderings of the free groups from the Dehornoy ordering

arXiv:0906.4997

Abstract

We show that the restriction of the Dehornoy ordering to an appropriate free subgroup of the three-strand braid group defines a left ordering of the free group on k generators, k>1, that has no convex subgroups.
