We establish various results on the structure of approximate subgroups in linear groups such as SL_n(k) that were previously announced by the authors. For example, generalising a result of Helfgott (who handled the cases n = 2 and 3), we…

Thompson's group F is the group of all increasing dyadic piecewise linear homeomorphisms of the closed unit interval. We compute Sigma^m(F) and Sigma^m(F;Z), the homotopical and homological Bieri-Neumann-Strebel-Renz invariants of F, and we…

A (discrete) group is called amenable whenever there exists a finitely additive right invariant probablity measure on it. For Thompson's group $F$ the problem whether it is amenable is a long-standing open question. We consider presentation…

We determine exactly which graph products, also known as Right Angled Artin Groups, embed into Richard Thompson's group $V$. It was shown by Bleak and Salazar-Diaz that $\mathbb{Z}^2 * \mathbb{Z}$ was an obstruction. We show that this is…

We prove that if the Cayley graph of a finitely generated group enjoys the property L_delta then the group is almost convex and has a sub-cubic isoperimetric function.

Given a graph of groups $\mathcal{G} = (\Gamma, \{G_v\}, \{G_e\})$ with certain conditions on vertex groups and $G$ acts acylindrically on its Bass-Serre tree $T$. Let $H$ be a finitely generated subgroup of $G$. We prove the following…

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),…

Let $T$ be a tree and $e$ an edge in $T$. If $C$ is a component of $T\setminus e$ and both $C$ and its complement are infinite we say that $C$ is a half-tree. The main result of this paper is that if $G$ is a closed subgroup of the…

We define half grid diagrams and prove every link is half grid presentable by constructing a canonical half grid pair (which gives rise to a grid diagram of some special type) associated with an element in the oriented Thompson group. We…

We show that the fundamental groups of any two closed irreducible non-geometric graph-manifolds are quasi-isometric. This answers a question of Kapovich and Leeb. We also classify the quasi-isometry types of fundamental groups of…

Given a finitely generated linear group $G$ over $\mathbb{Q}$, we construct a simple group $\Gamma$ that has the same finiteness properties as $G$ and admits $G$ as a quasi-retract. As an application, we construct a simple group of type…

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…

A group G is acylindrically hyperbolic if it admits a non-elementary acylindrical action on a hyperbolic space. We prove that every acylindrically hyperbolic group G has a generating set X such that the corresponding Cayley graph is a…

In this paper, we continue our study of the class of diagram groups. Simply speaking, a diagram is a labelled plane graph bounded by a pair of paths (the top path and the bottom path). To multiply two diagrams, one simply identifies the top…

This paper looks at the class of groups admitting normal forms for which the right multiplication by a group element is computed in linear time on a multi-tape Turing machine. We show that the groups $\mathbb{Z}_2 \wr \mathbb{Z}^2$,…

This paper deals with graph automaton groups associated with trees and some generalizations. We start by showing some algebraic properties of tree automaton groups. Then we characterize the associated semigroup, proving that it is…

We prove that Thompson's groups $F$ and $V$ are the geometry groups of associativity, and of associativity together with commutativity, respectively. We deduce new presentations of $F$ and $V$. These presentations lead to considering a…

We prove a variety of results about subgroups of Thompson's group $V$. First we prove that every action graph of a finitely generated subgroup of $V$ acting on an orbit in Cantor space is quasi-isometric to a tree. Then we prove that for a…

In this paper we present a new kind of semigroups called convex body semigroups which are generated by convex bodies of R^k. They generalize to arbitrary dimension the concept of proportionally modular numerical semigroup of [7]. Several…

In this paper, we prove a combination theorem for a relatively acylindrical graph of relatively hyperbolic groups (Theorem 1.1). Here, we are extending the technique of [Tom21] and constructing Bowditch boundary of the fundamental group of…
