We study isometric actions of Steinberg groups on Hadamard manifolds. We prove some rigidity properties related to these actions. In Particular we show that every isometric action of $St_n(F_p\langle t_1,\ldots ,t_k \rangle)$ on Hadamard…
It is not known whether Thompson's group F is automatic. With the recent extensions of the notion of an automatic group to graph automatic by Kharlampovich, Khoussainov and Miasnikov and then to C-graph automatic by the authors, a…
We show that Thompson's group $F$ has a topological action on a compact metric space that is proximal and has no fixed points.
We prove the vanishing of the bounded cohomology of lamplighter groups for a wide range of coefficients. This implies the same vanishing for a number of groups with self-similarity properties, such as Thompson's group F. In particular,…
A topological space has the fixed point property if every continuous self-map of that space has at least one fixed point. We demonstrate that there are serious restraints imposed by the requirement that there be a choice of fixed points…
For a finite abelian group $A$, the Reidemeister number of an endomorphism $\varphi$ equals the size of $\mathrm{Fix}(\varphi)$, the set of fixed points of $\varphi$. Consequently, the Reidemeister spectrum of $A$ is a subset of the set of…
We prove that the Brin-Thompson groups sV, also called higher dimensional Thompson's groups, are of type F_\infty for all natural numbers s. This result was previously shown for s up to 3, by considering the action of sV on a naturally…
For discrete groups G, we introduce equivariant Nielsen invariants. They are equivariant analogs of the Nielsen number and give lower bounds for the number of fixed point orbits in the G-homotopy class of an equivariant endomorphism f:X->X.…
In his study of amenable unitary representations, M. E. B. Bekka asked if there is an analogue for such representations of the remarkable fixed-point property for amenable groups. In this paper, we prove such a fixed-point theorem in the…
A fixed point theorem is proved for inverse transducers, leading to an automata-theoretic proof of the fixed point subgroup of an endomorphism of a finitely generated virtually free group being finitely generated. If the endomorphism is…
We use Sigma-invariants to study homotopical and homological finiteness properties of fixed subgroups of automorphisms of a group $G$ in terms of its center $Z(G)$ and the induced automorphisms on its associated quotient $G/Z(G)$.…
Macbeath gave a formula for the number of fixed points for each non-identity element of a cyclic group of automorphisms of a compact Riemann surface in terms of the universal covering transformation group of the cyclic group. We observe…
We study when a group of form $G\times\mathbb{Z}^m (m\geq 1)$ has the finitely generated fixed subgroup property of automorphisms ($\rm{FGFP}_a$), by using the BNS-invariant, and provide some partial answers and non-trivial examples.
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…
In this paper we study holomorphic properties of infinite dimensional spin factors. Among the infinite dimensional Banach spaces with homogeneous open unit balls, we show that the spin factors are natural outlier spaces in which to ask the…
We obtain a characterisation of confined subgroups of Thompson's group $F$. As a result, we deduce that orbital graph of a point under action of $F$ has uniformly subexponential growth if and only if this point is fixed by the commutator…
We study groups of homeomorphisms of R, each of whose elements have at most one fixed point. In particular we prove that any such group of C^2 diffeomorphisms is topologically conjugate to an affine group.
In this article we study cohomology of a group with coefficients in representations on Banach spaces and its stability under deformations. We show that small, metric deformations of the representation preserve vanishing of cohomology. As…
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…
A remarkable result of Thompson states that a finite group is soluble if and only if its two-generated subgroups are soluble. This result has been generalized in numerous ways, and it is in the core of a wide area of research in the theory…
