Abstract: In this article we introduce order preserving representations of fundamental groups of surfaces into Lie groups with bi-invariant orders. By relating order preserving representations to weakly maximal representations, introduced in arXiv:1305.2620, we show that order preserving representations into Lie groups of Hermitian type are faithful with discrete image and that the set of order preserving representations is closed in the representation variety. For Lie groups of Hermitian type whose associated symmetric space is of tube type we give a geometric characterization of these representations in terms of the causal structure on the Shilov boundary.
