A. H. Rhemtulla proved that if a group is a residually finite
p-group for infinitely many primes p, then it is two-sided
orderable. In problem 10.30 of the Kourovka notebook 14th. edition, N. Ya. Medvedev asked if there is a non-right-orderable
group which is a residually finite p-group for at least two
different primes p. Using a result of Dave Witte, we will show
that
many subgroups of finite index in
GL3(
) give examples
of such groups. On the other hand we will show that no such example
can exist among solvable by finite groups.
