The Higman--Thompson groups $V_{n,r}$ consist of piecewise linear automorphisms of $r$ intervals where cut points and slopes are $n$-adic. Szymik and Wahl prove homological stability for this family of groups as $r$ increases, and compute…
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…
This article began as a study of the structure of infinite permutation groups G in which point stabilisers are finite and all infinite normal subgroups are transitive. That led to two variations. One is the generalisation in which point…
We show that a finite unitary group which has orbits spanning the whole space is necessarily the setwise stabilizer of a certain orbit.
In this article, we study the fixed-point subgroups of the solvable Baumslag-Solitar groups $\BS(1,n)= \langle a, t \mid t a t^{-1} = a^{n} \rangle$, $n>1$ of automorphisms and endomorphisms. We also investigate the stabilizers of subgroups…
Homological stability has shown itself to be a powerful tool for the computation of homology of families of groups such as general linear groups, mapping class groups or automorphisms of free groups. We survey here tools and techniques for…
Given a group $G$ of homeomorphism of a first-countable Hausdorff space $\mathcal{X}$, we prove that if the action of $G$ on $\mathcal{X}$ is minimal and has rigid stabilisers that act locally minimally, then the neighbourhood stabilisers…
We classify all infinite primitive permutation groups possessing a finite point stabilizer, thus extending the seminal Aschbacher-O'Nan-Scott Theorem to all primitive permutation groups with finite point stabilizers.
We describe immanants as trivial modules of the symmetric group and show that any homogeneous polynomial of degree n on the space of n by n matrices preserved up to scalar by left and right action by diagonal matrices and conjugation by…
We prove that the only finite factor-representations of the Higman-Thompson groups $\{F_{n,r}\}$, $ \{G_{n,r}\}$ are the regular representations and scalar representations arising from group abelianizations. As a corollary, we obtain that…
Let $V_r(\Sigma)$ be the generalised Thompson group defined as the automorphism group of a valid, bounded, and complete Cantor algebra. We show that that for every $n>0$ there is a $k>n,$ such that there exists a $k$-dimensional…
We prove that Thompson's group $V$ is acyclic, answering a 1992 question of Brown in the positive. More generally, we identify the homology of the Higman-Thompson groups $V_{n,r}$ with the homology of the zeroth component of the infinite…
For the class of solvable groups of homeomorphisms of the line preserving orientation and containing a freely acting element, we establish the metabelianity of the quotient group $G/H_G$, where the elements of the normal subgroup $H_G$ are…
We study stability of amalgamated free products and HNN extensions of stable groups over finite groups. We focus on operator norm stability, Hilbert-Schmidt stability and stability in permutations. We provide many new examples of stable (or…
We develop a framework for the classification of invertible translation-invariant stabilizer codes modulo condensation and stabilization with simple codes. We introduce generalizations of the Pauli groups of local unitaries for quantum…
In this paper we analyze the structure of transitive permutation groups that have trivial four point stabilizers, but some nontrivial three point stabilizer. In particular we give a complete, detailed classification when the group is simple…
We construct explicit finite generating sets for the stabilizers in Thompson's group $F$ of rational points of a unit interval or a Cantor set. Our technique is based on the Reidemeister-Schreier procedure in the context of Schreier graphs…
We prove a homological stabilization theorem for Hurwitz spaces: moduli spaces of branched covers of the complex projective line. This has the following arithmetic consequence: let l>2 be prime and A a finite abelian l-group. Then there…
Let G be a finite solvable permutation group. Then modulo a possibly trivial normal elementary abelian 3-subgroup, some set-stabilizer in G is a 2-group.
In this note, we prove that if $(G,V)$ is a prehomogeneous vector space over any field $k$ such that the stabilizer of a generic point is reductive, the set of semi-stable points is a single orbit over the separable closure of $k$.
