Abstract: We compute the nonabelian $mathrmS{L}_2(mathbbC)$-character varieties of the rational knots $C(2n+1,2m,2)$ in the Conway notation, where $m$ and $n$ are non-zero integers. By studying real points on these varieties, we determine the left orderability of the fundamental groups of the cyclic branched covers of $C(2n+1,2m,2)$.

Review text

A sufficient condition for the left orderability of the fundamental group of the \(r\)-th cyclic branched cover of a prime knot is the existence of certain non abelian representations of the knot group in \(SL_2(\mathbb{R})\). In this paper the author study the left orderability of the fundamental groups of cyclic branched covers of the rational knots \(C(2n+1,2m,2)\) in the Conway notation by using real points on the nonabelian \(SL_2(\mathbb{C})\)-character varieties of the knot group.
