On zero-measured subsets of Thompson's group F

Group Theory 2023-04-11 v1

Abstract

A (discrete) group is called amenable whenever there exists a finitely additive right invariant probablity measure on it. For Thompson's group FF the problem whether it is amenable is a long-standing open question. We consider presentation of FF in terms of non-spherical semigroup diagrams. There is a natural partition of FF into 7 parts in terms of these diagrams. We show that for any measure with the above properties on FF, all but one of these sets have zero measure. This helps to clarify the structure of Folner sets in FF provided the group is amenable.
