Golan and Sapir \cite{MR3978542} proved that the Thompson's groups $F$, $T$ and $V$ have linear divergence. In the current paper, we focus on the divergence properties of several generalisation of the Thompson's groups, we first consider…

We propose a new unifying framework for Thompson-like groups using a well-known device called operads and category theory as language. We discuss examples of operad groups which have appeared in the literature before. As a first…

We prove Thompson's group $F$ has quadratic conjugator length function. That is, for any two conjugate elements of $F$ of length $n$ or less, there exists an element of $F$ of length $O(n^2)$ that conjugates one to the other. Moreover,…

Let $f$ be a dominant endomorphism of the projective line, which is not conjugate to a power map $z\mapsto z^{\pm d}$. We consider the centralizers of the iterates of $f$,…

We solve the twisted conjugacy problem on Thompson's group F. We also exhibit orbit undecidable subgroups of Aut(F), and give a proof that Aut(F) and Aut_+(F) are orbit decidable provided a certain conjecture on Thompson's group T is true.…

We study subgroups $H_U$ of the R. Thompson group $F$ which are stabilizers of finite sets $U$ of numbers in the interval $(0,1)$. We describe the algebraic structure of $H_U$ and prove that the stabilizer $H_U$ is finitely generated if and…

We consider actions of cocompact lattices in semisimple Lie groups of the noncompact type on their boundaries $G/Q$, $Q$ a parabolic group, the so-called standard actions. We show that perturbations of the standard action in the…

Averaging linear functional on the space continuous functions of the group of diffeomorphisms of interval is found. Amenability of several discrete subgroups of the group of diffeomorphisms $\Diff^3([0,1])$ of interval is prove. In…

We consider generalisations of Thompson's group $V$, denoted by $V_r(\Sigma)$, which also include the groups of Higman, Stein and Brin. It was shown by the authors in [20] that under some mild conditions these groups and centralisers of…

In this paper we generalize techniques of Belk-Matucci to solve the conjugacy problem for every Thompson-like group $V_n(H)$, where $n \geq 2$ and $H$ is a subgroup of the symmetric group on $n$ elements. We use this to prove that, if $n…

In analogy to the disjoint cycle decomposition in permutation groups, Ore and Specht define a decomposition of elements of the full monomial group and exploit this to describe conjugacy classes and centralisers of elements in the full…
