Irreducible lattices in semi-simple Lie groups of higher rank are not left-orderable
Irreducible lattices in semi-simple Lie groups of higher rank are not left-orderable I'll report on the problem of the left orderability of lattices in semi-simple Lie groups, and give some insight of our joint proof with Bertrand Deroin that in rank at least two, an irreducible lattice is not left-orderable. The proof will make use of the tools developed in the minicourse of Bertrand.
