Graph manifolds, left-orderability and amalgamation
arXiv:1106.0486 · doi:10.2140/agt.2013.13.2347
Abstract
We show that every irreducible toroidal integer homology sphere graph manifold has a left-orderable fundamental group. This is established by way of a specialization of a result due to Bludov and Glass for the almagamated products that arise, and in this setting work of Boyer, Rolfsen and Wiest may be applied. Our result then depends on input from 3-manifold topology and Heegaard Floer homology.
