Motiva ted by these connections\, I will present new necessary and sufficient con ditions for a circularly-orderable group to be left-orderable\, and introd uce the obstruction spectrum of a circularly-orderable group. This raises a plethora of intriguing questions\, especially when the group is the fund amental group of a manifold. Time permitting\, I will talk about how this work leads to new progress in answering the question of when the direct pr oduct of two circularly-orderable groups is circularly-orderable.\n\nThis is joint work with Jason Bell and Adam Clay.\n DTSTART:20200205T200000Z DTEND:20200205T210000Z LOCATION:Room 1104\, Burnside Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B9\, 805 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Tyrone Ghaswala (Université du Québec à Montréal) URL:/mathstat/channels/event/tyrone-ghaswala-universit e-du-quebec-montreal-319644 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
