In this short note we introduce a new metric on certain finite groups. It leads to a class of groups for which the element orders satisfy an interesting inequality. This extends the class CP_2 studied in our previous paper [16].

Braided Thompson's groups are finitely presented groups introduced by Brin and Dehornoy which contain the ordinary braid groups $B_n$, the finitary braid group $B_{\infty}$ and Thompson's group $F$ as subgroups. We describe some of the…

Higher-dimensional Thompson's groups nV are finitely presented groups described by Brin which generalize dyadic self-maps of the unit interval to dyadic self-maps of n-dimensional unit cubes. We describe some of the metric properties of…

The distance from the origin in the word metric for generalizations F(p) of Thompson's group F is quasi-isometric to the number of carets in the reduced rooted tree diagrams representing the elements of F(p). This interpretation of the…

Let F be the (Thompson's) group < x_0, x_1 | [x_0x_1^-1, x_0^-ix_1 x_0^i], i=1,2 >. We study the structure of F-limit groups. Let G_n= < y_1,..., y_m, x_0,x_1 | [x_0x_1^-1,x_0^-1x_1x_0],[x_0x_1^-1,x_0^-2x_1x_0^2], y_j^-1g_j,n(x_0,x_1),…

We discuss metric and combinatorial properties of Thompson's group T, including normal forms for elements and unique tree pair diagram representatives. We relate these properties to those of Thompson's group F when possible, and highlight…

We present new metric criteria for non-amenability and discuss applications. The main application of the results of this paper is the proof of non-amenability of R.Thompson's group F. This is a continuation of the series of papers on our…

Thompson's groups, which are denoted by $F, T$ and $V$, were introduced by R. Thompson. It is known that they are related to various fields in mathematics. In this paper, we establish that Thompson's groups are regarded as subgroups of…

The aim of this paper is to relate Thurston's metric on Teichm\"uller space to several ideas initiated by T. Sorvali on isomorphisms between Fuchsian groups. In particular, this will give a new formula for Thurston's asymmetric metric for…

We show that R. Thompson's group $T$ is a maximal subgroup of the group $V$. The argument provides examples of foundational calculations which arise when expressing elements of $V$ as products of transpositions of basic clopen sets in…

We describe a procedure for constructing a generalized Thompson group out of a family of groups that is equipped with what we call a cloning system. The previously known Thompson groups F, V, Vbr and Fbr arise from this procedure using,…
