#### $SL(2,\mathbb{C})$ Character Variety and Left-orderability.
Abstract: It is conjectured that for irreducible $\mathbb{Q}$ homolgy 3-sphere $Y$, $\widehat{HF}(Y)$ being non-minimal, $\pi_1(Y)$ being left-orderable and $Y$ admitting a co-orientable taut foliation are equivalent. In this talk, I will tell you what an $SL(2,\mathbb{C})$-character variety is and how it could possibly be applied to the study of this conjecture.
