Topic: 

A topological approach to orderable groups

Description: 

Algebra and topology are old friends. Many topological problems are solved by applying algebraic methods. But sometimes the relationship can work the other way. My talk will discuss how the topological viewpoint can be used to establish the basic facts regarding orderability of groups.
