## Problem

Do there exist finitely generated left-orderable groups with only one nontrivial conjugacy class? A positive answer to this question implies a positive answer to 21.78. Note that D. Osin constructed torsion-free finitely generated groups with only one nontrivial conjugacy class; see 9.10 in Archive. This is Kourovka Notebook Problem \(21.80\).

## Status

The reviewed record remains open.
