Abstract: We study left orderable groups by using dynamical methods. We apply these techniques to study the space of orderings of these groups. We show for instance that for the case of (non-Abelian) free groups, this space is homeomorphic to the Cantor set. We also study the case of braid groups (for which the space of orderings has isolated points but contains homeomorphic copies of the Cantor set). To do this we introduce the notion of the Conradian soul of an order as the maximal subgroup which is convex and restricted to which the original ordering satisfies the so called conradian property, and we elaborate on this notion.
