Abstract

Go to

We describe a construction which takes as an input a left order of the fundamental group of a manifold, and outputs a (singular) foliation of this manifold which is analogous to a taut foliation. We investigate this construction in detail in dimension $2$, and exhibit connections to various problems in dimension $3$.

Keywords: Left-invariant order, orderable group, geodesic lamination, foliation
