Remark on ordered braid groups

Abstract

We recover the Dehornoy order on the braid group $B_{2g+n}$ from the tracial state on a cluster $C^{\ast }$-algebra $\mathbb{A}(S_{g,n})$ associated to the surface $S_{g,n}$ of genus $g$ with $n$ boundary components. It is proved that the space of left-ordering of the fundamental group ${\pi }_1(S_{g,n})$ is a totally disconnected dense subspace of the projective Teichmüller space $\mathbb{P}{T}_{g,n}\cong {\mathbf{R}}^{6g-7+2n}$. In particular, each left-ordering of ${\pi }_1(S_{g,n})$ defines the orbit of a Riemann surface $S_{g,n}$ under the geodesic flow on the space $T_{g,n}$.
