method Alexander polynomial analysis on fibered knots.
result Alexander polynomial has at least one positive real root for bi-orderable groups.
We observe that Clay-Rolfsen's obstruction of bi-orderability, which uses the classical Alexander polynomial, is not strengthened by using the twisted Alexander polynomials for finite representations unlike many known applications of the Alexander polynomial. This is shown by studying the maximal ordered abelian quotie…
