## Problem

A group G is a unique product group if, for any nonempty finite subsets A, B of G, there exists an element of G which can be written uniquely as ab with a ∈ A and b ∈ B. A group G is locally invariant orderable if G admits a partial order < such that for all g, h ∈ G with h ̸= 1, we have either gh > g or gh−1 > g. Does there exist a unique product group which is not locally invariant orderable? This is Kourovka Notebook Problem \(21.34\).
