The S-integer conjecture for left orderability of arithmetic groups
The S-integer conjecture for left orderability of arithmetic groups
Let be a -simple algebraic -group, let be a nonempty set of prime numbers, and write for the corresponding group of -integer points. A subgroup is left orderable if it admits a total order preserved by left multiplication. The S-integer conjecture. No finite-index subgroup of
is left orderable. This proposes an analogue over rings of -integers without any restriction on the real rank; the paper proves related results for several nonarchimedean settings, but the stated general conjecture remains open.
