The paper is devoted to a study of certain fixed point properties, and their relatives, in the context of full automorphism groups of countable rooted trees. Namely, we study Serre's property (FA'), also called unsplittability, property…

The authors classify the finite index subgroups of R. Thompson's group $F$. All such groups that are not isomorphic to $F$ are non-split extensions of finite cyclic groups by $F$. The classification describes precisely which finite index…

This paper allows one to obtain a criterion for the existence of a projectively invariant measure formulated in terms of combinatorial properties of a group (amenability of some canonical quotient group). Such necessary and sufficient…

We study centralisers of finite order automorphisms of generalisations of Thompson's group F and conjugacy classes of finite subgroups in finite extensions of these groups. In particular, we show that centralisers of finite automorphisms in…

We prove that Claas R\"over's Thompson-Grigorchuk simple group $V\mathcal{G}$ has type $F_\infty$. The proof involves constructing two complexes on which $V\mathcal{G}$ acts: a simplicial complex analogous to the Stein complex for $V$, and…

We prove that the word problem of the Brin-Thompson group nV over a finite generating set is coNP-complete for every n \ge 2. It is known that the groups nV are an infinite family of infinite, finitely presented, simple groups. We also…

In a seminal paper, Brin demonstrates that the outerautomorphism group of Thompson group $T$ is isomorphic to the cyclic group of order two. In this article, building on characterisation of automorphisms of the Higman-Thompson groups…

Let n be bigger than 1 and let A be an element in the Higman-Thompson group V_n. We study the structure of the centralizer of a in V_n through a careful analysis of the action of the group generated by A on the Cantor set C. We make use of…

Thompson's group $V$ has a rich variety of subgroups, containing all finite groups, all finitely generated free groups and all finitely generated abelian groups, the finitary permutation group of a countable set, as well as many wreath…

We show that for any full and sufficiently transitive (i.e. \textit{flexible}) group $G$ of homeomorphisms of Cantor space, $\mathrm{Aut}(\mathrm{Aut}(G)) = \mathrm{Aut}(G)$. This class contains many generalisations of the Higman-Thompson…

We introduce the concept of a type system~$\Part$, that is, a partition on the set of finite words over the alphabet~$\{0,1\}$ compatible with the partial action of Thompson's group~$V$, and associate a subgroup~$\Stab{V}{\Part}$ of~$V$. We…

We study topological full groups attached to groupoid models for left regular representations of Garside categories. Groups arising in this way include Thompson's group $V$ and many of its variations such as R\"over-Nekrashevych groups. Our…

We demonstrate the existence of a family of finitely generated subgroups of Richard Thompson's group $F$ which is strictly well-ordered by the embeddability relation in type $\epsilon_0 +1$. All except the maximum element of this family…

Let K be a Cantor set embedded in the real line R. Following Funar and Neretin, we define the diffeomorphism group of K as the group of homeomorphisms of K which locally look like a diffeomorphism between two intervals of R.…

We compute the higher $\Sigma$-invariants $\Sigma^m(F_{n,\infty})$ of the generalized Thompson groups $F_{n,\infty}$, for all $m,n\ge 2$. This extends the $n=2$ case done by Bieri, Geoghegan and Kochloukova, and the $m=2$ case done by…

We show that several classes of groups G of PL-homeomorphisms of the real line admit non-trivial homomorphisms from G to the additive group of reals that are fixed by every automorphism of G. The classes of groups enjoying the stated…

A group $G$ is said to have the property $R_\infty$ if every automorphism $\phi \in {\rm Aut}(G)$ has an infinite number of $\phi$-twisted conjugacy classes. Recent work of Gon\c{c}alves and Kochloukova uses the $\Sigma^n$…

In the quest in constructing conformal field theories (CFT) Jones has discovered a beautiful and deep connection between CFT, Richard Thompson's groups and knot theory. This led to a powerful functorial framework for constructing actions of…

We show how all topological full groups coming from a one-sided irreducible shift of finite type, as studied by Matui, can be re-interpreted as groups of colour-preserving tree almost automorphisms. As an application, we show that they…

We investigate the relationship between endomorphisms of the Cuntz algebra ${\mathcal O}_2$ and endomorphisms of the Thompson groups $F$, $T$ and $V$ represented inside the unitary group of ${\mathcal O}_2$. For an endomorphism $\lambda_u$…
