Free limits of Thompson's group $F$

Abstract

We produce a sequence of markings SkS_k of Thompson's group FF within the space Gn{\mathcal G}_n of all marked nn-generator groups so that the sequence (F,Sk)(F,S_k) converges to the free group on nn generators, for n3n \geq 3. In addition, we give presentations for the limits of some other natural (convergent) sequences of markings to consider on FF within G3{\mathcal G}_3, including (F,{x0,x1,xn})(F,\{x_0,x_1,x_n\}) and (F,{x0,x1,x0n})(F,\{x_0,x_1,x_0^n\}).
