Left orderable surgeries of double twist knots

Abstract: A rational number

r

is called a left orderable slope of a knot

K s u b s e t S^{3}

if the 3-manifold obtained from

S^{3}

by

r

-surgery along

K

has left orderable fundamental group. In this paper we consider the double twist knots

C (k, l)

in the Conway notation. For any positive integers

m

and

n

, we show that if

K

is a double twist knot of the form

C (2 m, - 2 n)

,

C (2 m + 1, 2 n)

or

C (2 m + 1, - 2 n)

then there is an explicit unbounded interval

I

such that any rational number

r i n I

is a left orderable slope of

K

.
