Abstract
- With the untimely passing of Patrick Dehornoy in September 2019, the world of mathematics lost a brilliant scholar who made profound contributions to set theory, algebra, topology, and even computer science and cryptography. And I lost a dear friend and a strong influence in the direction of my own research in mathematics. In this paper, I will concentrate on his remarkable discovery that the braid groups are left-orderable, and its consequences, and its strong influence on my own research. I'll begin by describing how I learned of his work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
